Skip it. 'Gnomeo & Juliet' is a lazy, cutesy cash-grab that mistakes a high-concept premise for actual wit—Shakespeare's tragedy reduced to garden puns and plastic flamingos. Even kids deserve better than this paint-by-numbers animation that thinks novelty substitutes for genuine charm.

Plot

A version of Shakespeare's play, set in the world of warring indoor and outdoor gnomes. Garden gnomes Gnomeo and Juliet have as many obstacles to overcome as their quasi namesakes when they are caught up in a feud between neighbors. But with plastic pink flamingos and lawnmower races in the mix, can this young couple find lasting happiness?
