Gnomio and Juliet

We saw the movie "Gnomio and Juliet" in Freeport tonight (February 11) on its opening day.  The Lindo theater was really packed tonight with most of the customers going to the Justin Bieber movie.  Even getting ready for the movie "Gnomio and Juliet" I thought that the primitive cartoon style was a bit strange.  The movie, however, was pretty good and may go a long way in creating more interest in William Shakespeare among the young.  Lots of subtle humor (and some not so subtle humor) was included.  It was a product of Elton John with both music and production attributed to him.  Twice I tried to go to fill up our popcorn container and I couldn't believe the long lines at the concession stand.  Maybe everyone was just anxious to get out of their houses and homes for a movie.  After all, it's already 13 degrees above zero and supposed to get up to 32 on Saturday.  Enough on the weather and on the concessions.  The movie is worth seeing and I/we recommend it.  People applauded at the end...always a sign of a very good movie.
