Movie Review: **The Smurfs

It is appropriate to post a review of The Smurfs, as Smurfs II is now in theaters.  Gargamel's cat steals this show.  He/she is so funny pursuing the smurfs, and has such funny facial expressions.  Gargamel (Hank Azaria) is just totally evil.  Papa Smurf is played by Jonathan Winters.  I watched Tony, to see how the movie was doing.  He enjoyed most of the movie, but there was a period there, where the movie seemed to slow down and loss its energy.  He likes the slapstick scenes, Gargamel getting sucked through the funnel, getting foiled in the toy store, and things dropping on his head.  I liked the apple with thinks poking out of it getting him in the butt.  Now that is humor.  One part that started going somewhere and then didn't was Gargamel making an alliance with the Smurf's friend's boss.  It just didn't go anyplace. Perhaps the writers missed something.  This movie is for the young, and those who like animated slapstick.  This a show that combines animated and live characters.
