At first glance, the new version of “Smurfs”, a feature film by Paramount Pictures that opens this Thursday in Puerto Rico, does not seem to have any transcendental resource that justifies the return of the Smurfs to the big screen. The film’s script assumes all the conventions of a family offering that seeks to appeal simultaneously to those who are already fans of Peyo’s creations and those who are meeting them for the first time in this film. The result would have been a generic and disposable version were it not for the shrewd humor of a script that constantly seeks to explore the lesser-known nooks and crannies of the mythology of these characters.
