  • Gnomeo & Juliet (2011)

    While the concept is a quirky, eccentric delight, the film itself rarely feels like anything other than a run-of-the-mill animation of (ahem) garden variety standard.

    Animated take on the Shakespeare tale.
  • Gulliver's Travels (2010)

  • Wild Mountain Thyme (2020)

    It's often the most slender plots that make for the best scripts because they force writers to work harder, but there's no indication of anything resembling work having gone into this.
