The first 20 minutes of the movie was actually great but when the smurfs arrived in New York it started to all go down hill from there! I didn't know whether the movie was about the Smurfs or Doogie Howser!!! How convenient was it that Gargamel happened to find an abandon warehouse with everything in it that he needed to conjure up some evil spell against the Smurfs!? This movie was full of recycled material already seen in Alvin & The Chipmunks!! Not impressed with this television remark! I would rather watch paint dry!
