When everyone in the garden suddenly goes missing -- there's only one gnome to call -- Sherlock Gnomes. The famous detective and sworn protector of the city shows up with his sidekick Watson to investigate the case. The mystery soon leads the gnomes on a rollicking adventure as they meet all-new ornaments and explore an undiscovered side of London.

Critics Consensus

Sherlock Gnomes is sadly, utterly stumped by the mystery of the reason for its own existence.

Kung Fu Panda director John Stevenson keeps the plot moving at a jaunty pace.

Actually more fun than the original and guaranteed to make under-10s shudder with delight.

KSDK News (St. Louis)

It's a serviceable animated take on a well known tale that also happens to be a sequel. One could call it a movie solely for kids, but you can't even trust them being happy with the product.

Flickering Myth

Comes together better than any belated sequel to a mostly forgotten family movie probably should.

If you want morbid animation, watch Foodfight.

I have no clue why this movie was made. The plot is bonkers, the characters are less lovable, and it feels like one big fever dream, but not in a good way.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Sherlock Gnomes one of the "kind-of-average" films of 2018, not compared to Disney's Ralph Breaks The Internet. Kids will find this movie interesting; adults will find it boring. The plot is not enough of its detail, one of the main characters is desperate about getting his wife's attention, another character is kind of rude. It would be best to take your kid to see an appropriate kids movie rather than this.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
