Gnomeo and Juliet



Length: 84 Minutes

I've seen this one.

Is it loyal to the book? It is inspired by Romeo and Juliet... if you hadn't figured that out then you need a lesson in wordplay. Anyhow it somehow manages to not be entirely faithful. Weird.

Best character: Featherstone the lovesick flamingo. He is the funniest and the most sentimental character in the whole movie.

But is it art? This movie was a labor of love from Elton John and it shows. While not as technically polished as movies from the big name companies it has all the heart.

Major Flaws: That gnome in a g-string or whatever it is called will never cease to be painful.
