A lawn gnome finds his match.

Gnomeo, a blue gnome finds true love with Juliet, a red gnome in the animated film “Gnomeo and Juliet.”

Lawn decorations have a mind of their own in this film. The two main gnomes, from completely different sides, fight against the odds to be together.

This animated film is loosely based on Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.”  It is a fun way to portray a normally adult story.  Shakespeare even makes a cameo animated appearance if you watch carefully.

Both come from families that do not like each other.  Throughout the movie, both sides create problems in their neighbor’s garden. The Reds wreck havoc in the Blue garden and vice versa.

They do whatever they have to do in order to protect their own gardens. The Reds versus the Blues is an ongoing war created by the homeowners themselves.

The movie is a great adaptation to an old romantic story. It is humorous and witty yet cute.  The love story within the movie is just enough. It is not over overbearing for being within an animated film that many kids would enjoy.

If a gnome can go against the odds to win his true love’s heart, then anyone can.

I would encourage anyone to see this movie if they want to see a cute and fun animated film. It is for the young and the old. And besides, who doesn’t love animated singing gnomes?
