Blu-ray Review: Boring ‘Joyful Noise’ Offers Great Music, Dull Melodrama

Film Review: ‘Gnomeo & Juliet’ Charms With Music of Elton John
Submitted by PatrickMcD on February 11, 2011 - 4:10pmCHICAGO – As movie animation domination continues, “Gnomeo and Juliet” throws its stone cap into the ring, and has a lively story that tweaks it source, while respecting its power.
