Rihanna voices Smurfette in the new Smurfs film, which features minimal music. The film showcases a bland script lacking entertainment value, mainly focused on the Smurfs. The characters Razamel and Gargamel add some humor with a few funny lines. No Name Smurf, feeling inadequate, discovers he possesses magical powers that are vital when the evil wizards kidnap Papa Smurf. The story unfolds slowly across an hour and a half, with some surreal scenes and a few amusing moments with Sound Effect Smurf, highlighting a concern over the lack of engaging storytelling for a children’s film.
The star vocal turn of the very moderate new Smurfs film is Rihanna, phoning in an undemanding audio contribution as the female character named Smurfette.
The script by Pam Brady follows the template of being pretty bland for the sweet Smurfs themselves, but is sharpened up with properly funny lines for the evil wizard characters.
In the Smurfs' home village, the one depressed Smurf is No Name Smurf, who feels he has no real attribute or quality that marks him out.
The story plods along for an hour and a half, with some almost-interesting surreal scenes and decent gags featuring Sound Effect Smurf.
