TheWrap
Lots of little lessons are interspersed throughout Smurfs: The Lost Village, but the film itself is an example that even the big, powerful, well-paid grown-ups who run movie studios can learn a thing or two. - 60
Variety
It’s not a rousing animated comedy that parents will cherish along with their kids. It’s more like a colorful and diverting pacifier. - 58
The A.V. Club
An inoffensive children’s film with an above-average voice cast, competent animation, and no product placement. This is enough to make it the finest film ever made about the Smurfs. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
Smurfs: The Lost Village is a mediocre effort that nonetheless succeeds in its main goal of keeping its blue characters alive for future merchandising purposes. - 40
Empire
A microwave meal of a kid’s film, consisting of tired tropes and bland platitudes. This particular village should have stayed lost. - 40
The Telegraph
Under-eights may thrill to this, or they may, in years to come, confuse it with their first LSD trip. Just don’t say you weren’t warned. - 40
The Guardian
Fans of smurfiness may well like it, and Gargamel gets some nice lines, but I have to say that both script and animation are entirely predictable, as if generated by some computer software. - 38
Slant Magazine
It's content to be the sort of film parents can throw on an iPad to ensure 90 minutes' worth of relative peace and quiet away from their antic children.
