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.

Gnomeo and Juliet(2011)
Directed by Kelly Asbury
Shakespeare's classic tale of love is being told again, this time by...garden gnomes?
Gnomeo; A young blue gnomes, son of the Queen of the blue gnomes. Adventurous and totally awesome...in a gnomish kind of way.
Juliet; A young red gnome, daughter of the King of red gnomes. Pettied and pampered, but outgoing and not-at-all-delicate.
What do they have in common? Nothing. But what happens when an accidental meeting plunges them into a head-over-heels-romance? A Secret.
The red gnomes and the blue gnome have forever been at odds, blue destroys that of reds,red destroys this of blues. But things will get complicated when and blue gnome and a red gnome fall desperately in love.
Gnomeo and Juliet are trying ever so hard to stay together and not have to hide their love from those they know.
The movie follows these two gnomes through many adventures. From garden frogs to lawn-mowers to tea pots to a talking statue of William Shakespeare, this movie is one you'll want to see again and again.
I really loved this movie, it gave a twist to the tale of Romeo and Juliet. I suggest seeing it.
