This was an adorable movie with wonderful endearing qualities and I believe that it appeals to adults and children alike. The gnomes and their feuding family lines are funny to behold but it holds to the basic storyline of Shakespeare’s timeless tale (as can be expected from the title). The Reds and the Blues are constantly fighting each other, but they race using lawn mowers and a horrible punishment is to have your hat knocked off. So when Gnomeo, a Blue, and Juliet, a Red, fall in love, only outrage will ensue. Gnomeo meets Shakespeare himself while a flamingo and a frog add comic relief to the mix. In the end, after thoroughly destroying their gardens, the Blues and Reds see how foolish they’ve been and make up to each other, leaving the viewers presuming a happily-ever-after ending. I loved this film-it was sweet and told the tale simple enough so that a child will understand, but entertaining enough for an adult to enjoy it as well.
The only objection I have to this film is that one gnome wears a very unbecoming swimsuit (aka, it covers nothing and looks horrendous) but this is the only issue I have with this film.
