Los Angeles (E! Online) - Children of the '80s, take note: There's something smurftastic brewing in Hollywood.

And who'll get to chew the scenery as Gargamel?
Oh, I hope they do it justice.
Just like they did with "Alvin and the Chipmunks."
Oh, wait. Nevermind.

At last a movie ideally suited to Rob Marshall!

One trick Roscoe rides again!
I used to have a very strange fascination with The Smurfs...don't ask me why. The mind boggles with the possibilities of tastelessness on this one, no?
