There's little here for accompanying parents or older siblings. And the film never does figure out what the smurfing point of Smurfette is.

Smurfs: The Lost Village resets the film franchise, but the movie -- despite some nice insight about Smurfette -- feels more made-for-TV than worthy of a 3D upcharge.

Smurfs: The Lost Village is easy to sit through, and I know I'm repeating myself here but, once again, young children are likely going to be delighted with the film in ways they never were with either of its live action ancestors.

If you have younger children who have not yet been exposed to Smurfs culture, this would be an excellent jumping-in point.
