Some jokes in The Smurfs are too adult for a kids movie, the rest of the film is too childish for an adult.

| synopsis | When the evil wizard Gargamel chases the tiny blue Smurfs out of their village, they tumble from their magical world and into ours -- in fact, smack dab in the middle of Central Park. Just three apples high and stuck in the Big Apple, the Smurfs must find a way to get back to their village before Gargamel tracks them down. |
