         Hello, everyone. Today, I am going to introduce a movie that I watched yesterday. The movie I watched is The Smurfs. The film is very funny and smurf ’s names were following by their character. For example, Clumsy. The film starts with the Smurfs preparing for the upcoming Blue Moon Festival. The little Clumsy helps the evil wizard, Gargamel and his cat Azreal to find Smurfs village accidentally. While on the run from Gargamel, Papa, Smurfette, Grouchy, Gutsy and Brainy go to find of the irritating Clumsy. Accidentally, they all turn out getting sucked into a porch that transfer them in New York City Central Park. The Smurfs ultimately end up in an apartment belonging to Patrick Winslow, a young marketing executive for cosmetics company Anjelou, who has newly promoted by his hard-to-please boss Odile.


         The little Clumsy has fallen into a box and Patrick is taking the box to home. All Smurfs want to rescue Clumsy so they also follow Patrick's car, but Patrick does not realize them. While their dog is barking, Patrick and his sweet-natured wife Grace only realize the Smurfs in their home. They shocked. But, Grace likes them. When Grace was charming by them, Patrick just wantto find their way home, Gargamel tracks them down and puts his shameful plan into motion. He extracts their essence which will turn him into an all-powerful wizard. A lot of things are going happened.


        At the end of the film, they success to find their way home and eliminate Gargamel. In this film, I can see Papa is trying to protect his smurfs although he knows he will sacrifice and the smurfs also are trying to escape their papa when there papa is at risk. Patrick did not like the smurfs ,but at the end he also tries to escape smurfs as he was touching by smurfs and his wife.

Thank you very much.
