The greatest love story ever told, starring...garden gnomes!!!
Gnomeo and Juliet is a loose and edgy adaptation of William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet. And you probably already guessed from the title, it's a retelling of Romeo and Juliet using Gnomes.
Gnomeo & Juliet has surprisingly racy undertones for a G-rated movie (the gnome hats are obvious fodder), which means there's plenty of subtext here for adults to enjoy even as the kids are amused by what's on the surface. There's also the bevy of classic Elton John tunes that have been reworked for the film, which adults will know and kids will likely discover here (perhaps they only know him as the guy who sang songs for 1990s Disney cartoons). Overall, this is pretty much Kitsch: The Motion Picture.
