Synopsis
A little adventure goes a lawn way.
A version of Shakespeare's play, set in the world of warring indoor and outdoor gnomes.

But with plastic pink flamingos and lawnmower races in the mix, can this young couple find lasting happiness?

Fantastic family movie with a great voice cast.

A very enjoyable family film filled with British talent (or at least their voices).
A funny twist on the classic tragedy with lots of Shakespeare references including old Bill himself.
Hulk Hogan's VO on the mega lawnmower was hilarious!
"Unnecessarily Powerful!" -

I love this movie and I love Ashley Jensen, she is absolutely hilarious in this. This move really does have everything; romance, fighting, laughter. Unlike the play, though, its not a tragedy. An entertaining, movie from start to finish.

A good animated version of Shakespere's classic tale of two lovers.

I love the Plastic Flamingo!!!! (aka Featherstone ;))

I liked all the random Shakespeare allusions. Otherwise eh.

@Camdun_Roar: Quite a few too many puns for my taste and, not that I'm complaining, but why Elton John music? 6.5/10

Eh, poor Shakespeare.

An adorable and funny film. Fairly underrated, unfortunately, probably due to not being made by Disney/Pixar. I missed the opening credits and was wondering why on earth Elton John was getting such a play in the film - surely every single event isn't best evoked by an Elton John song?
Other than that though, a fantastic comedy, definitely worth watching, even if you don't have a soft spot for animated family flicks.

Gnomeo & Juliet & Elton John. Are you fucking kidding me!? Love this shit.

There's some great humor mixed in, and although it isn't original, it is unique.

Music provided by… Elton John? Ugh.
