The film tells the story of the Smurfs as they get lost in New York, and try to find a way to get back home before the evil wizard Gargamel catches them to try and steal their magic. So when I heard they were making a film of the smurfs, my reaction was "Seriously? What there are no talented writers left to come up with original screenplays? We're now making films about little blue people first introduced in the 50's, seriously?" Despite my little outburst I really enjoyed this film, in fact it's become one of my 'sick films' you know the ones you watch when you're ill to try and cheer you up? It does just that, it cheers me up and it really is the perfect family film. I thought it was funny, I thought the story was good and I liked the animation. I didn't like the fact that Neil Patrick Harris was in it, for some reason he didn't act very well, it was a wooden performance and the chemistry between him and Jayma Mays was beyond awkward and just a little embarrassing. Don't get me wrong I love Harris in How I met your mother, he's funny and charming but also he never has flat chemistry with ANYONE, so I don't know what went wrong, however the focus of the film is the smurfs whom I loved so as a whole I enjoyed it immensely and really pleased I bought it on DVD.
