What's in a name, after all? Would "Gnomeo & Juliet" — that's right, "Gnomeo & Juliet" — be the surprise of the season if it had a title that wasn't quite so silly? Or is the wackiness of the concept the reason this gently amusing, genuinely sweet animated film makes you smile from start to finish?

Gnomeo and Juliet
The greatest love story ever told, starring...garden gnomes? Shakespeare's revered tale gets a comical, off-the-wall makeover. Directed by Kelly Asbury and showcasing both classic and original songs by Elton John, the film features the voices of James McAvoy and Emily Blunt as Gnomeo and Juliet, who 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 thrilling lawnmower races in the mix, can this young couple find lasting happiness?
