Patrick Winslow (Neil Patrick Harris) has just been promoted to VP of Marketing at a cosmetics firm. The Smurfs end up hitching a ride home with him. Needless to say he and his pregnant wife, Grace (Jayma Mays) are a bit freaked out by them at first. I love the scene where they first meet the Smurfs and Patrick ends up hogtied. Grace loves them, but Patrick doubts they're real at first. The Smurfs need to recreate the Blue Moon to get home. The first order of business is to find a stargazer to check the stars and find the rest of the things that Papa needs. I love the hunt for the stargazer. The Smurfs running loose in FAO Schwartz is hilarious. Of course, Smurfette is going to go shopping! Gargamel is always there to ruin the fun, though. Luckily for the Smurfs, Patrick and Grace are great friends and are there to help them. Gargamel gets carted off to jail, not that jail can stop him for long. The Smurfs have got to finish the spell and get home before Gargamel gets them or all is lost.
In addition to the movie, the DVD has several special features to entertain you. There's a "Find the Smurfs" game to play, comic book scenes, music montage, and more features that are all quite amusing. You might just learn some new things from them. I loved The Smurfs cartoon as a kid. It was entertaining and uplifting at the same time. I love The Smurfs movie as well, for the exact same reason. It's a great movie for the whole family to enjoy. You'll laugh hysterically, but in the end, you're left feeling better about everything. I highly recommend that you all check it out today.
