Recently, we got a sneak preview of the film which brings back all our favorite childhood Smurfs like Clumsy, Grouchy, Jokey, Smurfette and of course Papa! When Evil wizard Gargamel (Hank Azaria) chases the Smurfs out of their village through a portal landing, they wind up in the middle of New York's Central Park.  Surprisingly, New Yorkers don't seem too thrown by blue midgets running around their city. 
While being chased by Gargamel, they end up falling into a box and turning the life of two soon to be parents (played by Neil Patrick Harris and Jayma Mays), completely upside down.  Like most first time parents, the couple are faced with tons of questions about their potential parenting skiils... Will I be a good dad? How do I balance work and home? Am I ready? Helping the Smurfs work their way back to their world, gives them a good taste of what parenthood holds in store for them.  As Smurfs run rampant around FAO Schwartz, while constantly singing their annoying theme song "La La La La La La..." that's sure to help prepare anyone for their own child.
