Neil Patrick Harris, Katy Perry, Pee-Wee and Smurfs: This Is Gonna Be Good

Neil Patrick Harris, Katy Perry (as Smurfette!), George Lopez, Hank Azaria, Paul Reubens (Pee-wee Herman), Sofia Vergara and a host of other actors are starring in the upcoming "The Smurfs" movie and I have to admit, I am kind of stoked.  Ever since Neil Patrick Harris re-appeared on TV in "How I Met Your Mother" after the looong post "Doogie Howser M.D." hiatus, I've been eager to watch anything else he does - yes that means I even watched the super cheesy Emmy's that he hosted!

In the new Smurf movie, Neil plays a regular guy who ends up helping the Smurfs escape the clutches of the evil wizard Gargamel (Azaria) but not before they torture him by making him look silly at work or mess with his relationship.  I suppose he'll save the Smurfs like James Marsden's character in "Hop" helped the Easter Bunny (played by Katy Perry's husband Russel Brand), or the way Jason Lee's character, Dave, helped Alvin and the Chipmunks, or countless other cartoon characters who've been saved by a human.  But this will be different, ok?

Or maybe it won't.  Watch the trailer and see for yourself.  

Are you excited to see "The Smurfs"?
