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.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

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

NME (New Musical Express)

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

Rated: 2.5/5

Mike Massie

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

This movie is so camp and entertaining, the music is stellar, the concept is quirky and fun, the sound design is detailed, if you hate this movie you are the reaper of joy and whimsy. The nighttime garden scene is peak cinema and if you say otherwise you know NOTHING

Yeah I can see why reviews are not great for this film, there's nothing interesting about this other than the fact that they are lawn gnomes, which that gimmick wears off in about 20minutes, there's not enough funny lines, or cool scenes to make it a good film, it's overall just boring or brain rot you; would put on for children to watch, so many better films out there, even for kids.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

It's a very cute and harmless flick, and kids and adults will definitely like it, but all it really is is a child-friendly version of Romeo & Juliet plus garden gnomes.
