- DVD – Gnomeo & Juliet
- Suitable
from 5 years
- It`s
the age-old story of forbidden love between feuding families, but
Shakespeare`s 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
and Juliet meet and instantly fall in love
- Their
forbidden love blossoms with a little help from a plastic pink flamingo named
Featherstone 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 makes an appearance and declares that, while this story bears a
marked resemblance to one of his own, he`s not sure it will end in quite
the same way
- This
film is funny, engaging, and, with the possible exception of one
particularly scantily clad gnome, appropriate for the whole family
