MUST-SEE OF THE MONTH Sherlock Gnomes U When their friends go missing, Gnomeo and Juliet know exactly who to call... DIRECTOR John Stevenson starring Emily Blunt, Johnny Depp, James McAvoy Swapping William Shakespeare in favour of Arthur Conan Doyle, this delightful sequel to 2011’s Gnomeo & Juliet sees our favourite star-crossed garden ornaments (voiced, once again, by James McAvoy and Emily Blunt) moving to a lovely new garden, along with all their fellow gnomes. At first, life is blissful for our ceramic lovebirds, but then one day all of their friends and family mysteriously disappear. Utterly baffled, Gnomeo and Juliet call in legendary detective Sherlock Gnomes and his sidekick Dr. Watson to help solve the case. What follows is a tale of epic proportions as this unlikely foursome attempt to bring every gnome home. The original movie featured a top director, new songs by Elton John and a witty script loaded with in-jokes. With Kung Fu Panda’s John Stevenson calling the shots this time, this follow-up has all that too, plus the added bonus of Johnny Depp as Sherlock Gnomes, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Watson and Mary J. Blige as Irene. Personally, we’re most looking forward to the return of Mankini. Boy, can that gnome twerk. Colourful, madcap, knowing – this is an adventure that the entire family can enjoy. 11 MAY MOV IE M ATHEM ATICS + Gnomes + Literature + Jokes Mystery = Sherlock Gnomes Watch the trailer or when accompanied by an adult 15 Suitable for ages 15+ 18 Adults only odeon.co.uk 5
