[superhero]

It could be fun or it could be an absolute nightmare, Smurf day!

[elski]

does each person get a world record certificate for taking part? I suppose it is an interesting thing to say about yourself although not so sure you'd put it on your CV

[Beate]

Depends who you are - Vincent from the Apprentice put on his CV that he is good-looking.

I saw a teaser trailer at the cinema the other day. You have to be kidding me.

While the CGI looks quite terrible I have to say I am looking forward to see this movie if only to see Neil Patrick Harris not wear a suit for a change

New theatrical trailer

This trailer did actually make me laugh! I'm quite looking forward to seeing it now. This is the type of film where hopefully the 3D will be put to good use.

Looks like a strong contender for 'Worst movie ever'!

No doubt it'll get at least 1 sequel

FYI

The Smurfs (French: Les Schtroumpfs) is a comic and television franchise centered on a group of small blue fictional creatures called Smurfs, created and first introduced as a series of comic strips by the Belgian cartoonist Peyo (pen name of Pierre Culliford) on October 23, 1958. The original term and the accompanying language came during a meal Peyo was having with his colleague and friend André Franquin in which, having momentarily forgotten the word "salt", Peyo asked him (in French) to pass the schtroumpf. Franquin replied: "Here's the Schtroumpf — when you are done schtroumpfing, schtroumpf it back" and the two spent the rest of that weekend speaking in schtroumpf language.[3] The name was later translated into Dutch as Smurf, which was adopted in English.
