Movie Talk: Gnomeo & Juliet Hits Theaters Feb. 11th in 3D {Giveaway}

Friday, January 28, 2011 Leave a Comment

I've done some PURDY crazy things for love. Let's see move 900 miles away from the only home I've ever known. That's kinda crazy. Wash loads of laundry, stay home with three young children and cook and clean till my hands fall off. That's REALLY crazy, right?

All kidding aside, people will do CRAZY things for love, especially a love that everyone tells them they can't have. Romeo and Juliet is the classic story of this kind of forbidden love and now Disney has re-created this story in the new animated film Gnomeo & Juliet, which hits theaters February 11th 2011 in 3D. We've got a press screening next weekend, so you KNOW we'll be letting you in on our take of the movie, but in the mean time? I've got a little sneak peek of Gnomeo & Juliet  along with a fun giveaway.. because we ALL know I love giving you guys free stuff!


About Gomeo and Juliet:
The greatest love story ever told, starring...garden gnomes? In the upcoming “Gnomeo & Juliet,” Shakespeare's revered tale gets a comical, off-the-wall makeover. Directed by Kelly Asbury (“Shrek 2”) and showcasing both classic and original songs by Elton John, the film features the voices of James McAvoy and Emily Blunt as Gnomeo and Juliet, who have as many obstacles to overcome as their quasi namesakes when they are caught up in a feud between neighbors. But with plastic pink flamingos and thrilling lawnmower races in the mix, can this young couple find lasting happiness?

    I took early retirement from a federal job I had had for 26 years to move over 2000 miles away with my hubby when he had a great job opportunity, only to get transferred back here after one year and now my position is no longer available. lol

    I've dealt with his family for the last 7 years. Does that count? :) Besides that, I've found ways to make things in our life work so that we can live the way we want to. It's all worth it in the end!
