Gnomeo and Juliet (2011)
MovieAddict - wrote on 01/22/2012
In this story the Montagues and Capulets live in different gardens (even their human garden owners hate each other) and when the humanoids go to work, the garden gnomes come alive when they leave. Separated by a fence, blue gnomes live in one backyard, while the red gnomes live on the other one. The two groups of gnomes have an ongoing rivalry as to whose garden is best. They constantly try to sabotage each other and dislike each other immensely. While trying to retrieve an orchid for her garden, Juliet (Emily Blunt), a red gnome, meets Gnomeo (James McAvoy), a blue gnome, and they fall in love and try to keep their romance secret. Can their relationship flourish against the odds?
Gnomeo and Juliet, quite clearly (judging from the title), is based on William Shakespeare's tragedy …
