The Smurfs 2 is a feature length kiddie live-action cartoon meant to provide brain idling for spawn who do not yet conjure full observations. So-so effects, little or no pacing, a drag in the middle and totally unnecessary 3D technology highlight the pointlessness of it all.LetвЂ™s not confuse baby formula for actual food. ItвЂ™s all about potions and magic and essences, all of which are needed to keep the average person awake during all of this nonsense. While there, Smurfette, who was evidently created by the bad wizard becomes fast friends with Vexy and even offers to share the secret formula that Papa used to turn her blue - a concoction that will allow Gargamel to somehow rule the world. Turns out that Pat is an uptight parent entertaining equally snobbish couples at his sonвЂ™s excruciatingly unfunny birthday party sequence.Дiscovering that Gargamel has a show in Paris, the group - with nondescript tyke Blue (Jacob Tremblay) and gruff stepdad Victor (Brendan Gleeson, вЂњ The RavenвЂњ) in tow - whisks off to the City of Lights with nary a jump cut. Unfortunately, once she is missing, Papa Smurf (voice of the late Jonathan Winters, вЂњThe Smurfs,вЂќ but IвЂ™d rather remember him from вЂњ ItвЂ™s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World,вЂќ among other better films) along with Grouchy (voice of George Lopez, вЂњ Rio,вЂќ and a wealth of other voiceover work), Clumsy (voice of Anton Yelchin, вЂњ Star Trek Into DarknessвЂњ) and Vanity (voice of John Oliver, вЂњ The Love GuruвЂњ), locate Patrick and his family to help solve the mystery. Smoove, вЂњ Hall PassвЂњ), to kidnap Smurfette so he can extract her essence, or something like that. Meanwhile, Gargamel - who is now a big-time David Blaine-type illusionist in the world of humans - is hatching a plot wherein he uses his two gray Smurf-like minions, the tomboyish Vexy (voice of Christina Ricci, вЂњ Black Snake MoanвЂњ) and the idiotic Hackus (voice of J.B. Happy, except for the groupвЂ™s only female, Smurfette (voice of singer Katy Perry), whoвЂ™s depressed because she thinks everyone forgot her birthday (get used to it, kid). Here, as directed by Raja Gosnell (who has helmed such classics as вЂњ Home Alone 3,вЂќ and вЂњ Beverly Hills ChihuahuaвЂњ), the Smurfs are happy and healthy back in their quaint village. It does live longer, though, dragging on for 105 minutes (two minutes longer than the first go round). Like most sequels, The Smurfs 2 does not live up to the original, which in turn was never something worth living up to in the first place. With Neil Patrick Harris (вЂњ A Very Harold & Kumar 3D ChristmasвЂњ) sleepwalking through his repeat role of Patrick Winslow and Hank Azaria (вЂњ LovelaceвЂњ) as the evil wizard Gargamel playing it so far over the top he falls off the other side, adults are most likely to tag along with the tots only to forget this one by the time they get home. oh, why bother explaining the plot of this filmвЂ™s predecessor, вЂњ The Smurfs,вЂќ when itвЂ™s going to be difficult enough to write about this sequelвЂ™s ridiculous storyline? And, unless one is either under the age of four or in a drug-induced coma, they are not likely to care an iota about it anyway. When we last left our intrepid tiny blue friends, they had just.
