Really enjoyed this one, good message behind it and found myself laughing out loud a few times. I swear Norm, my gnome, moved to the edge of his shelf so he could watch the movie too.. mysterious things they are
Jojo
says
Thoroughly enjoyable with a lovely subtle message behind it - that the kids may or may not get - we all really enjoyed it.

Excellent movie. Who would have thought that Elton John could bring Romeo and Juliet back to the kids in such a fun way.

Loved it! The kids will love it, I loved it (but I am a big 50yr old kid)!!
Excellent graphics/cartoons, plenty of one liners and referrals to other movies . . . of course, they stayed to the Romeo and Juliet theme, but plenty of humour and play on words..
Worth watching for young and old!

Horrible movie.

kid's movie
LisaT

Better than I thought it would be, quite amusing, something the whole family can watch
d

My kids are in love with this movie!!
Great for fans who are familiar with Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet - lots of references.
Also great for fans of old school Elton John love songs.
Fun movie.

Kids will probably love it. Music is good - lots of Elton John, which can be either a good thing and a bad thing, but here is a good thing.

OK

*SPOLIER ALERT* Despite the all star cast, this was very disappointing. There is only so much Elton John you can take in a movie soundtrack, and the scene where Gnomeo gets smashed by the truck had my daughter (5) in tears ... took far too long to get to the bit where you find out he is still alive.

entertaining movie. There were lots of damaged areas on the DVD so missed several key scenes which was disappointing
ray
says
worth a look

Fast paced and fun, but not many laugh out loud moments. Soundtrack by elton was a good use of his back catalogue. Marginally better than Rio.
Anne
says
Delightful.... BUT .... stopped half way and we had to try and replay several times, so it took about 4 hours to finally get the the end.
Sylvie
says
Terrible, just terrible! There are much better films for kids than this half-formed nonsense.
Malika
says
Thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Will be adding this to the collection.

the kids loved it. I will admit it did has some good one liners. loved the frog's mushroom joke lol .Always love trying to pick the owners of those animated voices. Michael Cain Dolly Parton and Elton were easy but the others I struggled with.
A.Breen
says
not one of the greats, but the kids seemed to enjoy it
karen
says
Unsual movie but had some good messages in it, my 8 year old thought it was good and stayed glued to the TV, so that's saying something.
NPB
says
It is a great litle movie. Light entertainment, kids would enjoy it, however a lot of the humour would be better understood by adults, such as little sight gags and one liners. Quite a few medium funny bits, not sidesplitting but good.
Megan
says
Loved this movie, I think more than the kids!
Nikki Watts
says
The whole family enoyed this one.. even my husband (very unusual)
Taryn
says
The previews look alot better then the actual movie. It is a good kids movie but you know what will happen next and my son was easily distracted during the movie as it didnt really capture his attention
kylie
says
great little movie, which is suitable for young & old.. kids enjoy the characters & the adults enjoy the jokes. my 2 yr old niece loved it & i didnt mind watching it again with her a few times
stanarosa
says
funny and cute.
Moosh
says
Was pretty good. The Flamingo is hilarious, though he touched our heart with his sad story.
Anita
says
Great Fun!
Marg
says
Good fun movie but not in the same league as Tangled or Toy Story. Was amazed my 2 year old sat and watched most of it so must have been pretty good!
katrina
says
very cute

Excellent, loved it
bluecooperfan

Absolutely loved this movie. Totally not just a kids movie, plenty of jokes for the adults thrown in too. Brilliantly cast. Fabulous animation. I will be buying this one to keep. Definitely recommend this one!
Kyshara
says
Cute retelling of the Shakespeare classic Romeo and Juliet. Good animation and a nice soundtrack are bonuses to this enjoyable family movie.
Alison
says
Lovely. Lots for the adults as well as the kids. Great Elton John soundtrack adds to the fun and feeling.
Paul
says
Very cute. I appreciated all the Shakespeare in-jokes and background references. Excellent British cast.

Great kids movie. One of the best 3yrs and up.
Cassie
says
So very cute, the kids will love the bright colours and the story, the adults will love the hidden humor, great story much as you expect but a nice twist any way.
Sam
says
myself and my 3 year old both love it. She has watched it at least ten times over a week. We were both happily singing along.
R
says
Very funny and uplifting!
Naninska
says
HUGE hit with my little girl, 2 & 1/2 and I sang along the whole way through to all of Elton's tracks while I cleaned the house!!!
Tony
says
highly recommended for all ages, great show.
Amy
says
A few chuckling moments. Somehow not at funny as I thought it would be.
Amis
says
very cute! wonderful family movie :0
Jude
says
My kids watched this over and over!! They were sorry I had sent it back!
HomerJ

Kids loved it
Sam
says
Enjoyable by all ages :)
jennyhan
says
Was too childishly cliche, nothing too exciting
HopBuddyHop
says
The animation was good, the script was fairly lame, the soundtrack, completely destroyed the movie. Elton John is ok in small doses, however, it's horrendous when every song, background music and action scene tune in a movie is a modified EJ song.
Don't add this to your cue...
em
says
great movie for kids and adults.
Nadia
says
Kids just loved this one, I thought it had a few clever bits but not enough to hold my attention
Chell
says
We really liked this movie, I thought it was a very touching love story which automatically draws you in from the start.
Smokey
says
7 year old son's review: "It's funny and really, really good." 5 yo and 3 yo also captivated.
Jodie Herb
says
The two kids and I watched this last night and it was fabulous! As usual it had the 'adult' lines that only made sense to me but the kids giggled and cried along with me! A real family movie that I will buy when it gets to the shops!!

Great Family Movie
musicmum
says
Cute movie, and some fun to have. Not one i would rate highly or watch again. Elton John's involvement is very noticeable and of course he also does the soundtrack.
Janette
says
Cute movie and great Elton John music.
Teesha
says
What a great little movie for young & old alike! Better ending than the original perhaps :)
Dean
says
our kids just loved this version of Romeo and Juliet, the soundtrack using Elton John's music adds a great twist - our 5 year old has just been in tearsm as Shakespeare had intended the tragedy to be...
Skye
says
Was a pretty good movie, my husband and i laughed as much as our 4 year old son. Its def a movie we want to add to our collection.
Von
says
Not one of my favourites that is for sure, kept the kids entertained though for about half of the movie but they did get restless a few times whilst watching this. Good twist on a classic story though.
Tan
says
Kids loved it and I enjoyed it too! Loved the soundtrack and the subtle (and not so subtle) references to Shakespeare. Very clever...a great family movie
olivia
says
not fantastic, but entertaining kids movie. Great for Elton John fan's...all the songs in the movie are his!!!
Helen
says
Gnomeo and Juliet was wonderful with all the music being from Elton John. My 12yr old enjoyed this but I found I enjoyed it on a different level, knowing the music. One of those really good family movies that can offer all family members something different.
Benji
says
Very entertaining! A good balance of fun, laughter and fights with a touch of romance. The humour in some of the lines is amazing - just like the title of the film!
The killer lawn mower part was a bit of an overkill though.
Lots of warm moments, plenty of laughs and some good graphics.
Gail
says
Kept my 6 year old with the Flu happy through 2 sittings - huge thumbs up in my books
Rick
says
Cute movie for the younger members of the household although odler members may enjoy it as well. A couple of those "adult" type jokes that often appear in these types of films but they always go over the heads of kids. The kids laughed hysterically in a few parts. I would recommend it for a family movie night, my family enjoyed it thoroughly.
Carolyn
says
My 9-yr old daughter and I adored this movie. It's funny smart and clever. And it has warring gnomes (red and blue team) - can't get better than that. The voices are spot on (esp the two main characters) and we both cried towards the end (not going to spoil it). Juliet as a ninja is too cute for words.There's none of the Pixar moral message either. Very Highly Recommended.

Worst movie ever, don't bother watching
