Diane and I enjoyed Gnomeo and Juliet back in 2011 (my review is here) so we were looking forward to its sequel, SHERLOCK GNOMES. Gnomeo and Juliet and the rest of the garden gnomes now reside in London. But gnomes all over London are disappearing. Sherlock Gnomes (voiced by Johnny Depp) and Watson (Chiwetel Ejiofor) scurry through the London shrubbery investigating these kidnappings. Jamie Demetriou steals the movie as his key character. Emily Blunt and James McAvoy return as the voices of Juliet and Gnomeo. Mary J. Blige voices a provocative Irene Adler doll. There are plenty of puns and silliness in Sherlock Gnomes, but the plot involves the audience in a clever mystery. Children will enjoy the action and adventure and humor while adults will appreciate the entertaining characters. There’s a lot of Elton John music in this film. GRADE: B+
not for us
Jeff, SHERLOCK GNOMES is a kid movie with something for adults, too.
I liked the first one, would probably enjoy this one as well
Maggie, if you enjoyed GNOMEO & JULIETTE, you’ll really enjoy SHERLOCK GNOMES. This sequel is clever and action-packed!
Not for me. Too much I else I would rather see.
Steve, I have my ticket for THE AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR. Can’t wait to see it!
You have got to be kidding. I have enjoyed the SH week, but this is just silly. NO THANK YOU!
Rick, SHERLOCK GNOMES is doing solid business at our local AMC since this is SPRING BREAK week for most students. This animated adventure might lure some young people into reading about the real Sherlock Holmes! A little silliness is good for the soul!
Not knowing if this ends your Sherlock Holmes week, or if you have another surprise for us tomorrow, I will refrain from making suggestions in a more serious manner. Let me know.
Rick, we wrap up SHERLOCK HOLMES WEEK tomorrow.
