Gnomeo and Juliet

I've heard from GOOD movies like Ratatouie that bad reviews are fun to write, so I can't wait for this.
First off: YES this IS a "kids" movie but thats NO excuse for ripping off one of my favorite singers of all time Elton Jon! Not to mention all of the quotes they decided to throw in one in particular from Forrest Gump a movie that is so far above this movies budget they should be WORSHIPPING IT not throwing it's quote in because they think thats quality movie making!! But I digress. The movie begins with a mini gnome saying something along the lines of there is a feud and no body knows why it has started which is a little silly but their trying to hard to make this a funny bit, theirs a cane about to pull him off the stage and everything....ha......ha........bad. Next there are two house of a DUPLEX one painted blue the other red. Why these people don't just move away from each other is beyond me, but following the story that they are destroying the red is Capulet and the blue is Montegue. We are then floated into the backyard where we see the gnomes. The male character Gnomeo,I shudder every time I hear that, is a blue and goes to have a lawnmower race with the bully/ villain Tibolt (but to fit with the beat of the Elton Jon tune his name is introduced as Tabletop). Tibolt cheats and wins peeving the blues so they decide to sabotage the Reds yard. Introduce combat warrior but treated like a fragile angel Juliet who wants a flower from another yard and her obnoxious fountain frog ,whose name I forget. Gnomeo goes into yard yada yada spray paints the well yada yada gets seen and escapes to said yard with flower. This is where he meets Juliet who has snuck out to get said flower and apparently they fall in love over one flirtatious conversation. But they find out that they are from opposing yards and thats the conflict. Throughout watching this movie I wondered a couple of different things: Why don't the humans notice that their gnomes can apparently breed, Why don't the humans notice that when their is a mess and they don't clean it up it magically clean later, and why what the freak happens at the END!!! it goes throughout the story, that I refuse to go into anymore detail about because it would take FOREVER to point out all of it's flaws, and the two GNOME sides apparently sort out their differences, but what about the people! I doubt the humans who HAVE NOT GONE THROUGH this emotionally tormenting carousel got over their grudge and I hope they would notice if all the gnomes go and live someplace else! but who knows, with people this blatently oblivious I guess ANYTHING could happen.

If you want watch this movie once and see what im talking about
but watch out it might steal your sense of taste in film

this WAS fun!---kess
