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.

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.

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.
