Only three apples high and lost in the Big Apple, the Smurfs must find a way back to their world before Gargamel tracks them down.

It's raw and mean-spirited, with too many of the Smurf word substitutions more naughty than nice ("Who Smurfed?" or "Where the Smurf are we?"). That's Smurfed up.January 29, 2012
