Critics Consensus

While it has moments of inspiration, Gnomeo and Juliet is often too self-referential for its own good.

"Toy Story" goes Shakespearean in this animated retelling of the tale of the star-crossed lovers of Verona.

Gnomeo & Juliet stays too low to the ground to become an animated classic, but if there's a fairer midwinter's tale, wherefore art thou?

Uneven is the course, as the Bard might say, but the ride is plenty of fun.

Rated: 2.5/4

Much of the problem is that the script is as poor as the animation is impressive.

Rated: 2.5/5

Gone With The Twins

The juvenile humor and immaturity run rampant, as do several annoyingly hyperactive supporting characters, resulting in a tug-of-war between eye rolling and grimacing.

Rated: 3/10

I was SHOCKED and DEVASTATED to see the critic and audience reviews for this movie were so low. It is a CRIME. This movie is a classic. My go to comfort movie when I need a good laugh. The characters are all likable. It’s creative. Enjoyable for all ages. One of the last great animated films to come from Hollywood. Ignore the reviews and give it a try!!!!! The love story is so sweet. And the part with featherstone still makes me cry iykyk.

Gnomeo and Juliet is a masterpiece. Shakespeare could never. The character of Tybalt really brought everything together. The soundtrack and voice acting was splendid too. Truly inspirational. Maybe the real cupid's flower was the friends we made along the way. Amen.
