20 Worst Movies Of 2018
13. Sherlock Gnomes

The first Gnomeo And Juliet movie was entertaining enough thanks to its Elton John soundtrack and a nice little play on the Shakespearean story, but it never, ever elicited a sequel.
Strictly for kids, this seven-years-in-the-making follow-up tries too hard to remember what made the original charming and comes to the conclusion that it was the sight of a gnome dancing in a thong. This is Minions Syndrome to the worst extrapolation.
The animation is ok, but the vocal performances are mediocre (including Johnny Depp as the "famous gnome detective") and the story is unimaginative. It would probably work for kids, but anyone with any sort of grown-up entertainment desires will get very little out of it.
