'''''The Smurfs 2''''' is a 2013 American [[fantasy comedy film]] loosely based on ''[[The Smurfs (comics)|The Smurfs]]'' [[comic book]] series created by the [[Belgium|Belgian]] comics artist [[Peyo]], produced by [[Columbia Pictures]], [[Sony Pictures Animation]], [[The Kerner Entertainment Company]], and Hemisphere Media Capital, and distributed by [[Sony Pictures Releasing]]. It serves as a [[sequel]] to the 2011 film ''[[The Smurfs (film)|The Smurfs]]'', the second installment of Sony's [[The Smurfs in film|''Smurfs'' film series]], and the second and final live-action film in the franchise. The film was again directed by [[Raja Gosnell]] from a screenplay written by [[Karey Kirkpatrick]] and the writing teams of J. David Stem and [[David N. Weiss]], and Jay Scherick and David Ronn, and a story conceived by the latter four. The entire main cast reprised their roles from the first film. New cast members include [[Christina Ricci]] and [[J. B. Smoove]] as members of the Naughties, [[Brendan Gleeson]] as Patrick Winslow's stepfather, and [[Jacob Tremblay]] (in his film debut) as Blue Winslow.

''The Smurfs 2'' was released theatrically on July 31, 2013, and received generally negative reviews from critics for its humor, characters, plot, screenplay and perceived lack of fidelity to its source material. The film was not as commercially successful as its predecessor, grossing $347 million against a $105 million budget. It was dedicated to [[Jonathan Winters]], who voiced [[Papa Smurf]] in both films and died a few months earlier before the film's release.<ref name=LATReview>{{cite news|last=Olsen|first=Mark|title=Review: 'The Smurfs 2' lives up to predecessor's mediocre standards|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2013-jul-30-la-et-smurfs2-review-20130731-story.html|access-date=October 31, 2013|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=July 30, 2013|quote=Even though the "Smurfs" films never quite took full advantage of Winters' antic comedic gifts in the role as the softly wizened Papa Smurf, the end credits feature a dedication to the late comedy legend for "making the world a smurfier place."|archive-date=November 6, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131106060019/http://articles.latimes.com/2013/jul/30/entertainment/la-et-smurfs2-review-20130731|url-status=live}}</ref> A sequel, ''The Smurfs 3'', was initially planned for a summer 2015 release, but was cancelled in favor of a fully animated reboot, ''[[Smurfs: The Lost Village]]'', which was released on April 7, 2017 and directed by [[Kelly Asbury]], with Sony and Kerner returning to produce the film while having an all new cast (with the exception of [[Frank Welker]] as Azrael).

==Plot==
<!-- Per WP:FILMPLOT, the plot summary should be 400 to 700 words. -->
Two years after the events of the first film, on [[Smurfette]]'s birthday, the Smurfs read out the story of how she was created by [[Gargamel]] to destroy them before [[Papa Smurf]] rescued her and turned her into a true blue Smurf. Smurfette, however, has worst nightmares about her origin story and becomes unsure of her identity. The Smurfs are planning a surprise party for Smurfette and try to hide the preparations from her, which makes Smurfette believe that everyone has forgotten her birthday.

In [[Paris]], Gargamel and Azrael are now celebrities, amazing people with Gargamel's sorcery, but he is running low on the Smurf essence that gives him his magic powers. With his new creations, evil Smurf-like creatures called the Naughties, named Vexy and Hackus, Gargamel creates a portal to Smurf Village by using the [[Eiffel Tower]] as a conduit so that he can kidnap Smurfette to obtain Papa's secret formula for creating Smurfs. However, Gargamel is too large to go through the portal, so he sends Vexy through it to kidnap Smurfette.

The Smurfs witness the abduction of Smurfette and inform Papa, who uses his magic to create [[crystals]] that allow several of his Smurfs to travel directly to the residence of their human allies, Patrick and Grace Winslow, in [[New York City]] in order to seek their help to rescue Smurfette. Papa originally intends for [[Brainy Smurf|Brainy]], [[Hefty Smurf|Hefty]], and [[Gutsy Smurf|Gutsy]] to use the crystals, but through an accident, [[Clumsy Smurf|Clumsy]], [[Grouchy Smurf|Grouchy]] and [[Vanity Smurf|Vanity]] use them instead. The Smurfs arrive to Patrick and Grace's apartment right after the celebration of their son Blue's fourth birthday where they also meet Patrick's stepfather, Victor Doyle. The Smurfs learn that Gargamel is in Paris and set off with the Winslows and Victor to find him.

Upon arrival in Paris, Patrick and Victor distract Gargamel during one of his performances at the [[Palais Garnier]], while the Smurfs sneak backstage in Gargamel's [[dressing room]] to look for Smurfette, only to discover what Gargamel is planning. At the same time, Smurfette escapes from her prison, and the Naughties chase after her. Vexy encourages Smurfette to be naughty for fun to get her on their side, and, in the process, the three of them truly befriend each other.

Upon their return to Gargamel's hotel suite, Gargamel presents Smurfette with a tiny dragon wand as a feigned act of kindness. Smurfette still refuses to give Gargamel the formula until she sees the Naughties are dying due to a lack of Smurf essence. Faced without an alternative to save them, Smurfette writes the formula down and Gargamel uses it to turn the Naughties into real Smurfs. Immediately after they become Smurfs, Gargamel puts them into his Smurfalator machine to extract their essence.

Meanwhile, Patrick, Victor and the Smurfs work together to rescue Smurfette. The Smurfs are soon captured and put into the Smurfalator, powering Gargamel's large-sized dragon wand. Patrick and Victor arrive just in time to destroy the Smurfalator together, causing an explosion of Smurf essence that destroys the written formula and frees the Smurfs from their cages. Everyone is blasted out of Gargamel's lair through a sewer hole where Patrick and Victor reunite with Grace and Blue. Gargamel reappears but is blasted away by Smurfette with her new wand. He then falls onto the [[Notre Dame Cathedral]], where he accidentally brings a stone [[gargoyle]] to life, which then throws him to the top of the Eiffel Tower and blasted into the air by fireworks. The Smurfs bid farewell to the Winslows, then return home with Vexy and Hackus to celebrate Smurfette's birthday.

In two post-credit sequences, Gargamel and Azrael are pulled into the portal after fireworks from Eiffel Tower, sending them back to their castle, and they later have a fight.

On July 11, 2013, it was announced that [[Sofía Vergara]]'s role was cut from the film. Gosnell, the director of the film, explained: "She came to Paris and did a tiny little cameo for us, but ultimately for story clarity we had to omit that scene. ... It just muddied things up a bit. So it was a sad day for us, but she'll always be part of our Smurfy family."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://insidemovies.ew.com/2013/07/11/the-smurfs-2-naughties-sofia-vergara/|title='The Smurfs 2' adds two new faces, and loses a star|first=Grady|last=Smith|work=EW.com|date=July 11, 2013|access-date=July 11, 2013|archive-date=July 15, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130715040140/http://insidemovies.ew.com/2013/07/11/the-smurfs-2-naughties-sofia-vergara/|url-status=live}}</ref> Several scenes were filmed in the new film studios [[Cité du Cinéma]] founded by [[Luc Besson]] in [[Saint-Denis, Seine-Saint-Denis|Saint-Denis]] in [[France]].<ref>{{cite news |author=Elsa Keslassy @elsakeslassy |url=https://variety.com/2012/film/news/la-cite-du-cinema-bows-with-smurfs-2-shoot-1118056483/ |title=La Cite du Cinema bows with 'Smurfs 2′ shoot |publisher=Variety |date=July 12, 2012 |access-date=October 8, 2013 |archive-date=November 9, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131109215021/http://variety.com/2012/film/news/la-cite-du-cinema-bows-with-smurfs-2-shoot-1118056483/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Reception==

===Critical response===
The [[review aggregator]] website [[Rotten Tomatoes]] reported a 14% approval rating with an average rating of 4.1/10, based on 94 reviews. The website's consensus reads, "Like its predecessor, ''Smurfs 2'' may amuse small children, but it's largely an unambitious, charm-free collection of slapstick gags and one-liners."<ref>{{cite web
