With Rihanna starring in the upcoming 2025 Smurfs Reboot, we're giving our THE SMURFS (2011) Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis & Spoiler Review!! Aaron Alexander and John Humphrey go full blue in this nostalgic deep dive into The Smurfs (2011), the live-action/CGI hybrid comedy directed by Raja Gosnell (Scooby-Doo, Beverly Hills Chihuahua). Based on the beloved Belgian comic and 1980s animated series, this family adventure catapults the tiny blue creatures from their peaceful village into the chaos of modern-day New York City after they escape the evil sorcerer Gargamel through a magical portal. The film features a talented voice cast led by Jonathan Winters (Mork & Mindy, The Flintstones) as the wise Papa Smurf, Katy Perry (pop superstar, Jeremy Scott: The People’s Designer) as the sweet and sassy Smurfette, George Lopez (Rio, The George Lopez Show) as Grouchy, Alan Cumming (X2: X-Men United, The Good Wife) as Gutsy, Anton Yelchin (Star Trek, Alpha Dog) as Clumsy, Fred Armisen (Saturday Night Live, Portlandia) as Brainy, and Paul Reubens (Pee-wee’s Big Adventure) as Jokey. On the human side, Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother, A Series of Unfortunate Events) stars as Patrick Winslow, a marketing executive who helps the Smurfs find their way back home, with Jayma Mays (Glee, Red Eye) as his supportive wife, and Hank Azaria (The Simpsons, Godzilla) fully embracing the role of the villainous Gargamel in a delightfully over-the-top performance. Sofia Vergara (Modern Family) also appears as Patrick’s demanding boss. Packed with slapstick comedy, magical hijinks, and heartwarming moments, the film includes memorable scenes like the Smurfs causing chaos in FAO Schwarz, Gargamel's frantic chase through Central Park, and Papa Smurf’s touching leadership that anchors the team. Whether you grew up with the classic cartoons or are discovering these characters for the first time, The Smurfs delivers a colorful, family-friendly ride. #TheSmurfs #SmurfsMovie #KatyPerry #NeilPatrickHarris #HankAzaria #PapaSmurf #Smurfette #Gargamel #SmurfsReaction #AnimatedMovie #FamilyFilm #AaronAlexander #JohnHumphrey #MovieReview #FilmReaction #Nostalgia #JonathanWinters #GeorgeLopez #AlanCumming #AntonYelchin #SofiaVergara Trolls (2016) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/lx7UgAvEbW0 Coco (2017) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/nrHn_m_N82k Lilo & Stitch (2002) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/fWOM8PpdJfc The Wild Robot (2024) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/zHtIK2mNB7k A Goofy Movie (1995) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/lsMsTGoAaPo 0:00 Checking In! 02:30 The Smurfs Reaction 30:09 SHOPIFY! 31:24 The Smurfs Movie Reaction 01:01:29 Patron Q&A + The Smurfs Review Follow Aaron On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealaaronalexander/?hl=en Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Aparrel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ POWERED BY @GFUEL Visit https://gfuel.ly/3wD5Ygo and use code REJECTNATION for 20% off select tubs!!

The homeless man who sings the Smurfs song is my wife's uncle, Victor Pagan. He was also on Gotham and other things. He sadly passed away in 2020 of covid.

I find it insane how every time I want to see a specific movie or even a reaction to it, you guys always post a reaction to that movie. I was literally looking for a reaction to this movie the moment you posted it. 😅
