User Reviews

"Cute" sells this movie. Kids will love it, parents will more than like it

I watched this movie today with my kids ages 3, 6, and 12. They all loved it. There were a few spots when it dragged a little but all in all the "cuteness" of these garden gnomes sold me. There is no global solution offered here just Gnomeo and Julie falling in love. A great afternoon out with your kids. I thought the animation was spectacular and the story light and fun. There are little asides here and there paying tribute to Shakespeare. It is very well-suited to have Patrick Stewart play the bard himself. It's not the best movie but the visuals and music are stunning. It will hold your kids' attention for over an hour, what more could you ask for in a movie? I am really surprised this movie hasn't received higher ratings. I saw it as an 8/10. I think this is a great one for kids and the pop culture jokes here and there will keep the parents' interest. Don't go into it expecting more or you'll be disappointed. BUT, if that is your expectation, you'll have a great time at a cute movie.
