Gnomeo and Juliet

Gnomeo and Juliet

                Gnomeo and Juliet is Disney’s 2011 reimagining of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.  The story is about gnomes in neighboring gardens, the reds and the blues, that have been fighting since before anyone can remember.  Gnomeo(James McAvoy) a blue gnome is on a late night raid on the red garden when he catches a glimpse of Juliet(Emily Blunt) as she goes out to find a rare flower.  Love blossoms from there as the two star-crossed lovers try to keep their respective families from finding out about them.  They also have to figure out a way to keep their families from destroying each other as well.  I really enjoyed this movie it was a great family movie with lots of funny things for kids as well as adults.  I am always a big fan of movies that add humor in them that kids won’t get but adults do, and this movie had an abundance of them.  I was also impressed with the actors they got to play in the movie.  They had some big names like the two mentioned above as well as Micheal Caine, Jason Statham, and Ozzie Osbourne.  The animation is very bright, colorful and well done, which is not a surprise since it is a Disney movie.  I very highly recommend this movie for anyone looking for a fun family night in.      

               

I give Gnomeo and Juliet 4 out of 5 stars.

My next review will be over Kung Fu Panda 2 it will be up next weekend sometime. 

As always "You don't have to go home but, you have to get the hell out of here"
