News:: Review: Sherlock Gnomes

I’ve never watched Gnomeo and Juliet, the first entry in the British Garden Gnome Public Domain Property Parody Adventure series, but apparently they opted not to end the first film with mutual suicide.

If you’re looking for a mystery or surprises, this movie isn’t for you. There’s two twists that are painfully obvious, and it’s largely just the gnomes moving between strangely empty setpieces looking for clues that make sense to nobody but Sherlock. The story is incredibly simplistic, which makes it strange that there’s still plotholes every step of the way.

When I was in the box office line, the family in front of me had the following conversation:

Mom: Honey, you want to see Sherlock Gnomes, right?
6yo Daughter: NNNNOOOOooOOOOOOOooOO!!!
Dad: Uhhhh 3 for uhhh Pacific Rim, I guess?

So if you’re wondering who this movie appeals to, the answer is literally nobody. I saw this alone in an empty theater.
