In case you were wondering,
Gnomeo and Juliet is as stupid as it's title as sounds. Was there really any point to retell
Romeo and Juliet with lawn gnomes? I will admit, I was actually pleasantly surprised at first. The first half-hour isn't too bad. There was a decent amount of laughs and the plot came together nicely. The last fifty minutes is where it all falls apart. It becomes a lazy, tired, and downright annoying film. The love story comes together so fast and sloppily that it's hard to follow. The
Romeo and Juliet tie-ins become nauseating, especially the apperance of a William Shakespeare statue voiced by Patrick Stewart. The moment the statue appeared was the last straw for me enjoying this film. Despite a not-too-bad start and talented voice cast including Emily Blunt, James McAvoy, Michael Caine, and Jason Statham,
Gnomeo and Juliet is not worth a watch. The horrid second half of the film ruin all the postives of the first half and turn this film from watchable to pretty bad.
1.5/5 Stars
