A romantic family-friendly gardening movie on Valentine’s Day, and one about gnomes to boot? Heck yeah! I couldn’t resist — the hubby and I took the kids to see “Gnomeo and Juliet” on a school night (gasp), but hey, it’s Valentine’s Day! I was pleasantly entertained by the secret lives of these adorable gnomes, all the more so because I garden. But I tell you, even our teenager laughed — how’s that for a review (***edit below)? Here’s another — check out TufaGirl’s report over at Life Highway’s Yard Art Game. The yards in this movie would surely win top scores in the yard art game, that’s for sure.
Homemade pizza is waiting for me, to be followed by decadent chocolate desserts — time to go!
Happy Valentine’s Day to all!
***Edit: Now that I’ve eaten something (yum), I’ll give a more detailed review. The movie is lighthearted and fun, with a few Shakespearean references tucked in. It won’t win awards for plot or animation or exceptionally subtle comedic dialogue (I guess there’s not a current award available for that one, is there?), but if you go there in the right frame of mind, you’ll enjoy yourself, especially if you get a tickle out of gnomes.
Thank you for the mention. “Gnomeo and Juliet” will be considered nonsense by most but I found it to be a whole lot of fun.
It’s no Toy Story, but it’s cute. Movies like these require people to be in a light-hearted spirit or they’ll just grumble. I openly laughed out loud in a couple of spots, which means it’s better than several few kids’ movies I’ve been to!
OH, thank you so much for the mention. Your gnome is adorable and I hope he has sweet dreams. I lot of them are a less sweet. I’m planning on seeing the movie as soon as I can drag the hubby.
So cute! I keep thinking I’ll like that movie, too. Hope the pizza and chocolates were tasty!
That has to be the best photo for valentines day I have seen this year! I want to see gnomeo and juliet too. I hope is good
