New Gnomeo and Juliet movie list

New movie list Gnomeo and Juliet The greatest love story ever told, starring...garden gnomes? In the upcoming "Gnomeo & Juliet," Shakespeare's revered tale gets a comical, off-the-wall makeover. Directed by Kelly Asbury ("Shrek 2") and showcasing both classic and original songs by Elton John, the film features the voices of James McAvoy and Emily Blunt as Gnomeo and Juliet, who have as many obstacles to overcome as their quasi namesakes when they are caught up in a feud between neighbors. But with plastic pink flamingos and thrilling lawnmower races in the mix, can this young couple find lasting happiness? Two garden gnomes, Gnomeo (voice of James McAvoy) and Juliet (voice of Emily Blunt), try to avoid tragedy and find a happy ending to their star-crossed love affair when they are caught up in a feud between neighbors. -- (C) Disney Release Date Gnomeo and Juliet Feb 11, 2011 Wide

Review For Gnomeo and Juliet
"Toy Story" goes Shakespearean in this animated retelling of the tale of the star-crossed lovers of Verona. Ken Marks-New Yorker Uneven is the course, as the Bard might say, but the ride is plenty of fun. Rafer Guzman-Newsday Sadly, the music is largely wasted on the material, as somehow gnomes racing a lawnmower doesn't organically translate to a song about fighting and getting a little action in. Laremy Legel-Film.com Seriously, have most small children here even seen a garden gnome? Outside of a website commercial, maybe, or the cover of Grandpa's old "All Things Must Pass" album? Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger There's nothing here as clever as you find in Pixar fare, or Dreamwork's successful Shrek franchise, although co-writer/director Kelly Asbury did helm the Oscar-nominated Shrek 2. Linda Barnard-Toronto Star What is there to say about a movie that beats its eccentric premise to the ground in the first scene, and doesn't stop? Christy Lemire-Associated Press And thus the old joke has finally been fulfilled of someone pitching Romeo and Juliet to Hollywood and hearing in response, 'Couldn't they live at the end? I mean, it's kind of a downer.' [Blu-ray] Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews ... shenanigans play out to a score of classic Elton John songs (and two new ones) and a script crammed full of pop-culture references and Shakespeare puns. Sean Axmaker-MSN.com It's a fairly aggressive film, but Juliet hits these little moments of detail that make the movie entertaining and creative, doing Shakespeare and Elton John justice while creating pleasing comedy chaos. Brian Orndorf-BrianOrndorf.com a droll and painless introduction for the little ones to both Shakespeare and Elton John, though only Shakespeare has a speaking role Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews One of the most charming and kid-friendly animated offerings in quite a while. Jonathan W. Hickman-Daily Film Fix Gnome matter what, I try not to pre-judge. Linda Cook-KWQC-TV (Iowa) A plethora of talented voices and some silly Shakespearean references make this cartoon a winner. Scott Nash-Three Movie Buffs For a movie about inanimate objects, Gnomeo & Juliet is quite animated. Roger Tennis-Cinemaclips.com For all the difference it would make, they could have just booted the Elton John tunes and instead employed, say, Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street" or Cee Lo's "**** You." Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing 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? Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch It's a diversity of talent befitting the melding of Shakespeare, Elton John, and garden gnomes; those unopposed to a little lunacy will enjoy the adventure. Carolyn Arends-Christianity Today For all the clever writing buried in the Gnomeo & Juliet script, the end result is a bit disappointing. But I couldn't hate it. Tim Martain-The Mercury Shakespeare is hovering, rolling, and leaping in his grave, folks... Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed There is something unbelievably cool about tapping your toes to Tiny Dancer, Rocket Man, and Bennie And The Jets while adorable little gnomes cavort about and ultimately wreak havoc on screen. Alice Tynan-Concrete Playground Gnomeo & Juliet was not a good idea to begin with. Leigh Paatsch-Herald Sun (Australia) Rest assured the ending here is very 21st century: cheap, predictable, and witless. Peter Galvin-sbs.com.au What would have saved it, if it had been saved, is the design and animation. Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy
