Movie review: "Smurfs 2"

Animated little blue people starring in a movie always sounds like fun... now, when those little blue people are living it up in Paris (my favorite city, ever!), it can only get better... right? right?... I think so!
"Smurfs 2" is a fun sequel to an already fun movie.. the girls and I really enjoyed it and we thought the characters had great "flavor" to them...
This particular movie revolves around Smurfette, who is revealed to have been created by Gargamel and turned into a Smurf by "Papa smurf"...It is her birthday and as all the smurfs prepare a surprise party, she fears they have forgotten all about it...
In the meantime, she gets kidnapped by one of Gargamel's un-blue little people and she is taken to Paris....
As the  other smurfs go out to her rescue, they recruit Patrick, Grace and their family to help them save Smurfette...
The movie evolves as they all embark into a fun and crazy adventure through the streets of Paris...
It is fun, colorful and eventful..and just every entertaining...
I thought the movie was also incredibly creative and full of wonderful messages for the whole family....
I give it 3.5 out of 4 stars.. only because there were some sleepy parts as well as some overly "out there" sequences..but all in all, a good movie! ;)
