Synopsis
A version of Shakespeare's play, set in the world of warring indoor and outdoor gnomes. Garden gnomes Gnomeo and Juliet have as many obstacles to overcome as their quasi namesakes when they are caught up in a feud between neighbors. But with plastic pink flamingos and lawnmower races in the mix, can this young couple find lasting happiness?

Boxoffice Magazine
Kids will fall in love with it as a movie treat full of heart, laughs and fantastic songs, and it could have crossover appeal as a Valentine date night treat thanks to all its pointy-hatted romance. - 70
Arizona Republic
The voices are outstanding; the story demands British accents, and with such people as Caine and Smith providing them, so much the better. - 70
Variety
A welcome dose of honest silliness at a time when most family-oriented toons settle for smart-alecky. - 67
Entertainment Weekly
Every movie about cuddly dwarf statues in an English garden should have music this big. - 63
Orlando Sentinel
If it's not an unerringly faithful adaptation of Shakespeare's play, it still manages enough wit and charm to come off. - 60
Empire
Totally crackers but it gets powered by pure invention and eccentricity alone. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
The movie comes up short on inspiration despite a stellar voice cast that includes James McAvoy and Emily Blunt and a toe-tapping songbook by Elton John and Bernie Taupin. - 40

What a dud of a story! You know what it needs to dress it up? Garden gnomes.
