Sherlock Gnomes may keep some older viewers off-balance by its Elton John-only soundtrack (one Mary J. This observation is not to insist that every kid flick need contain gentle and positive lessons for little kids, but – to state something that should be obvious – children deserve rich, textured, intelligent films just like adults do, and it's always better to see a film with a modicum of thought and intelligence contained somewhere inside it.

Their adventures take them to visit various tchotchke shops in the city to visit the living kitsch therein to make inquiries, including a mildly amusing sequence involving an army of angry maneki-neko. As the investigation commences, we see a parallel stagnation in the relationship between the persnickety and egotistic Holmes – sorry Gnomes – and the hard-working and ignored Watson. Watson (Chiwetel Ejiofor) to track them down and to solve the riddles of the evil Moriarty (Jamie Demetriou), a recently-vanquished-now-returned living pie mascot.

Gnomeo and Juliet have reached a point of romantic stagnation in their relationship (a wrinkle Shakespeare perhaps didn't consider), and they now have to consider themselves more of a long-term romantic partnership than a pair of star-crossed lovers. Sherlock Gnomes follows Gnomeo (James McAvoy) and Juliet (Emily Blunt) as they and their menagerie of chintzy living lawn ornaments move to a new garden in the city with their human owners.
