So much better than the trailer
28 December 2018
The trailer is full of Mankini and very little else. But the movie ends up only having half of the Mankini bits shown in trailer.

Once the inciting incident happens, the movie only stops once for the trailer jokes and it is again in the trailer. Mostly this is just an adventure movie. And it does that fairly well.

The prevalence of other main characters in a Sherlock Holmes pastiche is a bit odd, but it turns out this movie is a sequel to 2011 Gnomeo & Juliet, a movie you don't have to see to enjoy this.

You can see the plot twists coming from a mile away, but this is a kid's movie so the theory is not to confuse the little tikes too much, and this won't.

If you want to have a good time watching this movie, you will.
