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.

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

3/10

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.

People hate the movie because it alternates the tragedy into something happier, but it actually helps me with tragic thoughts because it makes room for something uplifting. And Elton John’s duet with Lady Gaga was one of my childhood hits, so I personally think it’s underrated. No one has to agree. ♡

Weirdly this movie had some kind of funny movies, although not really. Its really generic... imagine taking a story that is considered one of the best stories of all time and taking the whole tragedy element (Which is was made it so good.) and just throwing out the window. That is basically what this movie is. They couldn't kill off a single character and a story that is supposed to be emotional ends with a dance party... it's actually near offensive.

This is one of the worst movies I've ever watched. There are many dirty jokes weaved into it, yet it remains ridiculously corny and stupid. You start to wish that "Gnomeo" and Juliet had died in the end when there's a whole wedding. It's completely stupid, I honestly don't know if they were trying to make the script that bad. Don't believe it's for kids, I'm a kid, my whole class watched it, and EVERYONE was cringing.
