Didn't stop it from tying with COWBOYS AND ALIENS for weekend #1.

Both made almost double what the wonderful Crazy Stupid Love took in.

My son wants to see the Smurf movie. I'm voting for Spy Kids.

KFTC!!!!!

Cowboys and Aliens got terrible reviews, too.

I'm sure they're both crying all the way to the box office.

CRAP RULES!

Oh, and my favorite criticism of the Smurf movie was this:

"That two sequels have been announced is terrifying."

I havent seen it, just the promos, but that has to be the ugliest 2D-to-3D transition ever. I have no idea what they think they were accomplishing in the character design, but they managed to take some cute little cartoon characters and make them look like the Spawn of Satan.

My eight year old niece went to see the Smurfs yesterday and loved it. I know that probably doesn't help much :)

I saw Cowboys and Aliens on Saturday and I didn't like it. They should've left the aliens out.

I actually had a lot of fun at COWBOYS AND ALIENS.

My friend took her son and she said she would rather have stayed home and plucked her pubes out one by one.

Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

Sony openly warning you to avoid The Smurfs

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

... well, if it's hazardous to public health and all, I suppose they had to or face criminal charges.

Cowboys & Smurfs & Aliens would be a very entertaining film.

Smurfs and Aliens would get me into a theatre. Especially if they all blew up.

I hate it when they take characters from cartoons/the past/magical alternate universes and have them transported to, where else, modern day manhattan.

Could they not have made this movie set in wherever it is the smurfs come from?

This reminds me of the last Breaking Bad episode where Jesse's friends debated Zombies vs. Nazi Zombies battle. Those tweekers made it sound like the most entertaining thing ever.

Why can't parents just take their kids to see Winnie the Pooh? Smurfs seemed old when I watched the re-runs as a kid. Are they really that ubiquitous enough for a kid to want to see besides an aggressive TV marketing campaign by the studio?

>> Smurks looks like Avatar for toddlers.

That is quite possibly the most brilliant thing ever written in this forum.

But a lot of us said that "Avatar" was just "Dances With Smurfs" when it came out.

So a Kiddy Avatar sounds about right.

it's getting a thrashing here and i have no interest in seeing the movie, but one should realize that smurfs' roots are actually quite different than anything seen now. it was hardly avatar for little children in its inception. many of peyo's original stories had very violent themes that were at times mildly perturbing. one story involved a smurf crowning himself king while papa was away, instituting a tyranny, with several smurfs launching a revolt. another involved a civil war between the smurfs, which seems laughable, but serves as a grim reflection of our own species, which goes to war over absurd things all the time (every religious war ever, which by definition is fought over ideologies that cannot be verified). another involved a disease which drove the smurfs mad and was transmitted by biting one another on the tail. and so forth.

Does anyone else remember the Smurfs SNL sketch with Garth Brooks? It was the smurfs at war and was pretty hilarious.

True, bethnor. Smurfette's origin was that she was actually a golem created by Gargamel to create discord amongst the male smurfs.

And don't forget that Smurfberry breakfast cereal that had so much food coloring in it that kids were pooping rainbows.

Smurfs really were diabolical.
