The Smurfs have arrived in New York City, and if critics are to be believed, you should avoid the little blue things at all cost. Here's what they're saying:
- “I wouldn't smurf Gosnell's The Smurfs on my smurfiest enemy,” writes Sean O’Connell of the Washington Post. The plot’s kind of like Enchanted “only far less clever, kindhearted, original, exciting or entertaining.” On the other hand: His 7-year-old liked it.
- “It may be going a little far to suggest that taking your little one to The Smurfs borders on child abuse,” but it’s definitely not a good idea, writes Lou Lumenick of the New York Post, dubbing it “this season's pre-K equivalent of Transformers: Dark of the Moon.”
