On 2/21/11, my sister forced me to take her to see Gnomeo and Juliet. I protested for hours, seeing it as a movie for small children that would be stupid and incredibly boring. Well, I was wrong.
Summary:
The blue garden gnomes and the red garden gnomes are at war. The protagonist, the blue gnome Gnomeo was on a commando mission to get revenge on the reds when he met the wandering gnome Juliet. They fall in love but have to keep it a secret. They find an old garden with a slightly senile, but nevertheless, friendly parrot who tells them as they argue how other people ruined his love, just like what was threatening to happen to theirs. However, Gnomeo's tiny friend Benny sees Gnomeo and Juliet and starts running back to tell the other blues. However, the antagonist, the red Tibolt, shatters Benny's hat, the supreme blow to any gnome, especially one with such a large hat. Then Tibolt and Gnomeo engage in a duel, which ends with Tibolt shattering into tiny pieces. However, the reds are angry and they push him on to the street, where Gnomeo apparently meets his death. I won't spoil the rest, but let's just say Gnomeo has a run-in with Shakespeare and the story starts following Romeo and Juliet's storyline. However, ultimately, this movie can turn the ending around.
Other:
While Gnomeo and Juliet doesn't use 3-D as effectively as Tangled, it is still used fairly well. Also don't just read the name and think it's a bad movie like I did. It might seem gimmicky, but a certain movie about toys coming to life and having adventures was pretty gimmicky when it started, too. Y'all get what I mean, right? And when did I become a redneck?

Wow, that's exactly what happened to me! I thought it was lame (especially if my dad pronounces it Gomeo) but when I saw it with my parents I watched it the next day with my sister, and again with my baby cousin. It was soooo unexpected that I would like it.
