Enough Elton John music, Shakespeare, action, romance and double entendre to fill an afternoon at the movies. Being a new conessiour of yard art, I sometimes am not certain what all the objects in the landscape represent. Not to worry as they all come to life during Gnomeo and Juliet.
Every moment of the movie is a representation of Shakespeare, television, film or yard art cult references. From Dolly Gnome doing her best Daisy Duke to start the Dukes of Hazard lawn mower race to Couching Tiger Hidden Dragon choreography interrupted by the humans, names of characters like Featherstone the flamingo (Featherstone is the name of the creator of the pink flamingo), as well as the usual Shakespearean characters represented.
A few silly moments drag as our young doomed lovers get prepared for their next possible reunion but it goes by quick enough for more adventures in the yards of the humans — Miss Montague and Mr. Capulet who live in attached houses at 2B and Not 2B Verona Drive, Stratford-Upon-Avon. I want to see it again as some references go by very quickly. Try not to miss the Tempest in a teapot. I give it:

4-1/2 pink flamingos.
I had thought that all this publicity may upset the usually shy gnomes but apparently I have been wrong. Saturday morning after opening night:
gnomaic debauchery
See? Flamingoes! Always good. Gnomaic debauchery should, by rights, render your blog X-rated. I blame the one sat on a toadstool, he clearly led the others astray and now just sits there and laughs at the state they are all in.
ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed at how un-hungover gnomes look after a night of drunken revelry. They still have happy, peppy smiles on their faces, seemingly ready to make more merriment.
ReplyDeleteForget Gnomeo & Juliet ! I'm waiting for Along Life's Highway - The Movie.
ReplyDeleteLiked your review Tufa girl.I have not seen the movie and will wait for it to hit Pay for View. No kids to tote to the theater, and not enough courage to go it alone. Four and a half flamingos, not bad.
ReplyDeleteI have heard good things about this movie! I will think of you when I watch it. I am too cheap to go to the theatre, Netlix Queue for me.
ReplyDeleteWhere have I been? Is this movie for real??? I'd better climb out of the snow and see what's going on in the world!!!
ReplyDeletePlantaliscious, I agree I am beating on mushroom sitter, he looks like an instigator. I like to thing of Lifes Highway as PG-13-ish
ReplyDeleteEl Gaucho, I know. After a night of debauchery, I look like a hairball a cat gacked up.
b-a-g, um... I'll get on that script one of these days and you can bet it will probably not be G-rated.
GWGT: yeah I'm cheap too. Tufa Saw the movie for us so I will wait for pay-per-view
Rosey: When you rent it, eat some popcorn for me.
Mom L, Of course this movie is for real. They have been advertising it for a month and before that it had been the buzz on the internet for a year. Diane should have told you, tsk.
Gnomaic debauchery looks like it was planned a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteGnomes in Love, you just never know what they will think of next. Was that a picture of the cast after the movie's debut? If the movie's producers wanted to really earn money at the box office, they should have included gnomaic debauchery in as many scenes as possible-- nothing like an X-rating to bring on the crowds.
ReplyDeleteThanks to Tufa Girl for the review!
I heard they commit suicide in the end. Is that right?
ReplyDeleteOlga, I have found gnomaic debauchery a spur of the moment event but eventually this was a catered event.
ReplyDeleteKaren, I couldn't agree more. If gnome p*rn was involved, I would pay box office tickets for the full 3-D effect.
Johnny Utah, we can only wish.
Can I skip this movie? please?
ReplyDeleteomg i love that you saw the movie!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA! wish i could have gone with you :)
Lin, of course, all the good stuff is here.
ReplyDeletediane, we could have written this movie.
Haa haa ha, looks like those gnomes had a good night :D
ReplyDeleteI think you should attend the movie and recruit for the game. You know all the adults there are likely secret yard art afficienados hiding behind borrowed nieces and nephews.
