Smurfs
In Smurf Village, every Smurf has a role to play (and name to match). There is Papa Smurf (John Goodman), Smurfette (Rihanna), etc. But then there is No Name (James Corden), a Smurf without a job or a thing that makes him special. Thousands of options have been floated his way but nothing seems to be his thing, especially not clog making. That was a disaster. One day though, No Name discovers he has magic, thanks to Jaunty (Amy Sedaris), one of several magic books that the evil wizard council –led by Gargamel, brother of Razamel (both voiced by JP Karliak)– is after. No Name's journey leads The Smurfs to the real world, another dimension, and even brings the evil wizard to their doorsteps.
Smurfs is a colorful, musical adventure geared towards the youngest members of the audience, with as many “kid movie” tropes that can fit into 92 minutes. Sure there are some adult jokes (the Smurf-off scene is very much like the beach-off in Barbie) and easter eggs for longtime fans to catch, but this is 100%, without a doubt meant for the littles. There is a lot of action happening in a short period of time, with not much breathing room for the core part of the story. This is something that will frustrate some but likely to go over the heads of most of the children. It's not bad, per se, it's fine, it's just not something I could see families wanting to revisit in the future. But it's silly, amusing, and Rihanna's Smurfette is my favorite iteration of the character. In fact I would like to see more of her and less of No Name –no offense– so not the worst way to spend a day at the movies.
