The evil wizard Gargamel creates a couple of mischievous Smurf-like creatures called the Naughties that he hopes will let him harness the all-powerful, magical Smurf-essence. But when he discovers that only a real Smurf can give him what he wants, and only a secret spell that Smurfette knows can turn the Naughties into real Smurfs, Gargamel kidnaps Smurfette and brings her to Paris, where he has been winning the adoration of millions as the world¹s greatest sorcerer. It's up to Papa, Clumsy, Grouchy, and Vanity to return to our world, reunite with their human friends Patrick and Grace Winslow, and rescue her! Will Smurfette, who has always felt different from the other Smurfs, find a new connection with the Naughties Vexy and Hackus or will the Smurfs convince her that their love for her is True Blue?

7/10

The movie starts off very similar to the first one, and like the first one it is kinda split between the Smurfs' adventures and the story of the Winslow's, the human family from New York. This time the main story is about Smurfette, though, and how her origin story of being Gargamel's creation influences her life. The story plays similar to the first movie: The Smurfs have to find and fight Gargamel to rescue Smurfett while the Patrick Winslow has to learn about what "family" means or can mean. But does Smurfette even WANT to come back? And does Patrick even want a bigger part in his extended family? Some part of this one were actually quite positively surprising. Smurfette is a very nice character in this one, and so are the new, additional "Smurfs" Vexy and Hackus. The adventures of the Smurf-side are actually quite funny and emotional, while, to me, the human half was...understandable and fitting, but quickly a bit exhausting due to people, especially, Patrick, just wanting to be a kind of jerk. Fitting to the movies theme both sides, though, need to learn the main lesson: That family is not who you are born with, but the people that love and care for you. And this certainly is a nice message that's handled well at least on the Smurf side. The development of Smurfette's relationship to the others is nice and at several points really emotional, happy and sad once after another and the movie does a much better job at invoking caring and empathy than the first one and I really enjoyed that. And once again, Gargamel's performance was totally over-the-top and really fun and funny. But, also like in the first movie: While the Winslow's part is more emotional and important than in the first movie...once again the overall movie could've easily been done completely without them. But still: A cute family movie about how the people who actually love and care about you are your true family! <3 Smurfette, Vexy and Gargamel are the best here!
