SYNOPSIS
Gnomeo and Juliet
In theaters:
February 11th, 2011
The greatest love story ever told, starring...garden gnomes? In Gnomeo & Juliet, Shakespeare's revered tale gets a comical, off-the-wall makeover. Directed by
Kelly Asbury (co-director of Shrek 2) and showcasing both classic and original

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 a happy ending?
