Time Out
Even if it doesn't quite gel, it's admirable that a film made of such weird ingredients is even vaguely palatable.
Full reviewFamily animated adventure from the director of Shrek 2 based on Shakespeare's tale of forbidden love, set in the secret world of garden gnomes.
Something you may not know: gnomes come to life when you're not looking. More than that, they can fall in love like lovesick Gnomeo (James McAvoy) and the enamoured Juliet (Emily Blunt). But this romance faces many obstacles including a tall garden fence and their respective, fueding families (red vs blue gnomes). Features a soundtrack of classic Elton John tunes.

Full reviewFar too much of the film is devoted to eye-rolling pop-culture gags and long montages set to recycled Elton John songs.

Full reviewThe snappy and simplistic prologue proves that the film is only interested in strip-mining Romeo and Juliet for its elemental parts.
Full reviewA fun, disposable animation designed for short attention spans and lovers of garden ornaments.
Full reviewShame about the annoying plastic flamingo (this movie’s version of Madagascar’s King Julien) and a general tone of wisteria unelfily close to that of Luc Besson’s Arthur cartoons.
Full reviewTotally crackers but it gets powered by pure invention and eccentricity alone.
