I weep. This makes teh CGI Yogi Bear movie look like high art in comparisson. (Please, don’t click it. It’s too awful.) But look at the cast!
Sweet Jeebus - how, just how did this come to pass??
I don’t know, but I’m totally going to see it for some of that Smurfette tail (gag).
Neil Patrick Harris, why?
Anything that keeps Paul Reubens and the director of Beverly Hills Chihuahua working is fine with me. Otherwise they’d be running wild in the streets.
They had two options, make a good movie for kids, or make a good movie for 20 year olds who watched the Smurfs as kids.
It looks like they did neither.
Bringing the Smurfs to New York is just a hopeless idea. If they’d just kept in whatever fantasy land it was in and had a decent story it could have worked for both.
Our Turf Get’s Smurfed.
This is what a meeting of actual humans came up with.
This movie is clearly an opportunity to make a movie that is “allegedly” a kids movie, but is filled with a lot of adult jokes that kids miss. I mean, this movie should be the kind of movie that the MPAA rates as PG, but later realizes is an R movie.
It looks like they missed the mark.
I was hoping the movie would look more like this. (YouTube link)
well said.
I’m confused by the existence of Scottish Smurf. Doubly so by his wearing pants under a kilt. I hope there’s more Smurfs in the prologue, because 5 or 6 is kind of boring.
Seems very hokey. But maybe the cast + nostalgia will make up for it.
Didn’t they just do this same movie with Alvin & the Chipmunks?
Damn now the video is gone. I am looking forward to this movie.
Here’s another site with the trailer. And after watching it I am really lokking forward to this.
What is this? Me and my sister already wrote a smurf movie 30 years ago and it seems to have been superior to the latest movie, as it featured cool stuff like Joe Strummer and David Lee Roth having a fistfight at the benefit concert, Reagan stepping on a smurf while on a diplomatic mission to rescue them, and Psycho-smurf sneaking into the shower to stab women in the ankle.
Yeah, we’d need to update it a bit but maybe I should send the script in.
It’s still there for me. You just have to scroll down below the pic.
Now that I think about it, if they dropped the “kid’s movie” pretense and actually did make it a dark, bloody adult adventure, directed by Quentin Tarantino - that I’d go and see! Totally!
But fart jokes like “Ew, who smurfed?” is just painfully :rolleyes:
Need a few contemporary references. Cast Charlie Sheen as Gargamel who wants oil not smurf soup, and shoehorn in a musical number for Glee fans, like maybe by Gadhafi singing “Lonely, I’m not lonely. My citizens love me…”
Hank Azaria has had his share of shitty movies, but I expect better from him, as well.
A loveable loser living in New York has his life changed when he has to get along with a group of wise-cracking, tiny CGI creatures.
…alright, who decided Joe’s Apartment needed a remake?
Yikes. Unicef does not take kindly to others using their colour scheme.
They look like they’re made of the rubbery plastic that the figurines are made of. That’s not right.
It’s simple, keep it in smurf land and have a fantasy adventure! How can they get this so wrong?
Yeah, but this might be better than Night at the Museum 2. I mean, a bit.
In other “Movies about white guys whose lives get turned upside-down by talking CGI creatures” news, has anyone else seen the trailer for Hop?
This one seemed to come out of nowhere.
I’ve seen the trailer. I won’t see the movie, as I have an aversion to ALL things Russell Brand.
