What’s the deal with animated garden gnomes? And in 3D no less. If you have to see this sorry movie, at least you can opt for the non-3D version. “Gnomeo and Juliet” is a computer-generated version of Shakespeare’s tragic romance and any similarity to Romeo and Juliet is purely coincidental. It’s full of unfunny jokes, hackneyed scenarios and an overdose of Elton John tunes. And with nine writers getting credit for the script, you know something’s up. However, there is a formidable list of voice credits, including James McAvoy and Emily Blunt as the star-crossed lovers; Michael Caine as the leader of the red gnomes and Maggie Smith as the matriarch of the blues. Jason Statham supplies the voice for Tybalt, who, in this version, cheats at lawnmower racing. The only thing “Gnomeo and Juliet” succeeded in doing was causing me to think about adding a gnome to my garden. 2/27/11

There is lots of good actors with some very bad lines in this script. Even the kids won't like this one, skip it!
