These details sounded a lot like “The Smurfs,” the dreadful 2011 movie that marked the last time the Smurfs were at your local bijou. In that film, Katy Perry played Smurfette and Jonathan Winters was cast as Papa Smurf. Their real world adventure placed them in the Smurfiest place in America, New York City.
The megastar plays a starring role in the new "Smurfs" animated movie. Yet the portrayal of a beloved community of blue creatures has been criticized for a lack of gender balance.
The superstar — who is a longtime superfan — voices Smurfette in the animated film, while also serving as producer and recording original music.
The lovable blue guys (and one gal) go on a mission to save Papa Smurf in this colorful romp with an impressive voice cast.
Rihanna, who is pregnant with her and A$AP’s third child, wore a Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello dress while the little ones were dressed in custom Dior by Jonathan Anderson. The famous family, who arrived about 90 minutes after the screening actually ended, was greeted by Smurf characters.
With James Gunn’s Superman and Universal’s dinosaurs roaming the Earth, counter-programming, read Paramount Animation’s reboot of Smurfs with Rihanna as Smurfette, and Sony’s reboot of late ’90s franchise I Know What You Did Last Summer will have a hard time overperforming.
With sons RZA and Riot in tow, Rihanna walked the blue carpet at the "Smurfs" premiere. All three wore designer fits.
