Movie Details:
Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play.r r Its the age-old story of forbidden love between feuding families, but Shakespeares classic tragedy Romeo and Juliet becomes quite a comedy when the young lovers in question are different-coloured gnomes from backyards on opposite sides of a tall wooden fence. Lured out of their respective gardens by wanderlust and an exotic orchid, Gnomeo (James McAvoy) and Juliet (Emily Blunt) meet and instantly fall in love. Their forbidden love blossoms with a little help from a plastic pink flamingo named Featherstone (Jim Cummings), and soon life-threatening lawnmower races ensue, an epic battle is staged, and wisteria trees and gnome hats are hacked to bits in the process. Shakespeare himself (Patrick Stewart) makes an appearance and declares that, while this story bears a marked resemblance to one of his own, hes not sure it will end in quite the same way. Shakespunian nuggets of wisdom include A weed is by any other name, still a weed, and that fairness demands a hat for a hat, and of course the philosophical question Whats in a gnome? just has to be asked. Executive producer Elton Johns penchant for over-the-top showmanship finds a perfect home in the gnomes elaborate backyard sets, and his musical score is an effective blend of classic and original songs, including a new collaboration with Lady Gaga called Hello, Hello. Other legendary musicians lending their talents to the voice cast include Dolly Parton and Ozzy Osbourne. This film is funny, engaging, and, with the possible exception of one particularly scantily clad gnome, appropriate for the whole family.
