When beloved characters Gnomeo and Juliet discover that all the other gnomes in their garden have gone missing, they ask Detective Sherlock Gnomes and his assistant Watson for assistance. Sherlock is initially reluctant, but when Gnomeo and Juliet help him escape a sewer flood, Sherlock agrees to help find their friends.
The New York Times by Ben Kenigsberg
Sherlock Gnomes offers more variety than its predecessor. Although still laced with glib pop culture references (wow, a skinny latte) and scored with Elton John tunes in a way that plays like a concession to adults, it has occasional fun ideas, such as rendering the inner workings of Holmes’s mind in hand-drawn black and white.
Entertainment Weekly by Christian Holub
Sherlock Gnomes doesn’t quite have the originality and spark to make it a pop-culture phenomenon. Yet it’s still an enjoyable family adventure with a solid message.
The A.V. Club by Jesse Hassenger
Most of the movie’s star power has been harnessed without much obvious reason, right down to the movie’s seeming origins as a delivery system for the Elton John catalog.
Los Angeles Times by Katie Walsh
It's a fairly serviceable animated feature, with a few inspired elements, and more than enough gnome puns to go around.
Slant Magazine by Keith Watson
Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary characters feel as if they've been air-dropped into a universe where they don't belong.
The Hollywood Reporter by Michael Rechtshaffen
Simply put, Sherlock Gnomes is a dreadful bore.
With little wit to its name, Sherlock Gnomes becomes far more tedious than playful.
The actors give little life to the proceedings, since no one’s bothered to figure what this movie has to offer beyond terrifically tactile stone figures going through the motions of what might be called Generic Animated Action Rescue Plot.
It’s a speedy adventure with diverse action set pieces and a mystery that boasts at least one halfway decent twist.
Not as annoying as it looks, but hardly a stirring or imaginative entertainment, Sherlock Gnomes has a comfortable home right in the middle of the road.
