Take a moment to consider this combination – Shakespeare, Elton John and lawn gnomes. Just mull that one around for a moment. Now think to yourself, does this have the makings of a good movie? If your answer was yes, then congratulations, you have what it takes to be a movie executive.
In all seriousness, Gnomeo and Juliet isn’t a bad movie, it’s just…odd. Really, what else would you expect when you decide to act out Romeo and Juliet with lawn gnomes in a British garden community? Layer on Elton John’s greatest hits instead of an original score, and you have something that is completely different.
