The Smurfs (Blu-ray + DVD) [2011] [Region Free]

Cutest movie for young kids!

Would watch again

Fun to watch with the kids

My grand kids love this movie they have watched it many times and still like watching it.

I just finished watching Smurfs with my kids in the movie theater and definitely recommend it to children agest 7-12. To properly rate this movie, I'll comment on it from the standpoint of "should you take your kids to see it?" The movie itself is good with an easy storyline to follow. Gargamel wants to capture the "essence" of the Smurfs so he can be the besdt magician in the world. To do that, he needs to capture one of the Smurfs and the movie goes about telling the story of how he tries to do that. I thought that a child under the age of 7 will likely not get all the innuendos and may even be scared at certain points in the movie--especiall of Gargamel. 12 year old on the other hand are about at the ceiling where they would find the movie funny and entertaining. There are definitely some good jokes that even adults would like--but not enough to recommend it solely for adults who want to see it themselves (although curiously there are always adults in this sort of movie--I kind of wonder why?) A good flick that is about the right length for kids to sit through with some good action and funny moments.

Our whole family absolutely loved this movie!

I have a crush on gargamel.

I purchased two Sony movies this past week, and this movie was one of them. I opened each one up to look for the digital copy code... and didn't find them. The Ultraviolet sticker on the Blu-Ray case stated that the code was inside the case, but it wasn't. There was only a code for Sony Movie Rewards inside, but that code is different from the Ultraviolet code.After e-mailing Sony, I received a response that the code was on the back of the sticker on the clear plastic wrapping of the disc. Fortunately, I still had the wrapping of both discs, and lo and behold, on the back of the sticker on the wrapping was the code.So interestingly, the sticker on the clear plastic wrap states that the code is on the back, while the sticker on the disc case states the code is inside. Nice contradiction, but more importantly, it's poor human factors/ergonomic packaging design that deviates from consumers' expectations. When 99% of digital download codes (e.g. your iTune digital download codes and Ultraviolet digital download codes on Warner Bros. discs) are located on a sheet of paper inside the disc case, and you decide to put it on the outside along with a different sticker stating that it's on the inside, you are setting yourself up for headaches, Sony.
