If you loved The Smurfs 2, try The Smurfs
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Raja Gosnell, and they both carry the playful mood tag, and they sit in Animation / Comedy / Family / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Smurfs 2, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Smurfs is
Central Park, summer, a blue blur amidst the trees. Small mushroom houses, a chaotic chase, and a wizard's spellbook. This family comedy works best on a lazy Sunday morning.
