Waste of time

Simply Perfect

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

A Gnome Named GnormGnomes are mischievous folks that enjoy making humans look stupid when they pronounce 'gnome' with a hard G.Fortunately, the dwarfish imp in this comedy enunciates his name with a confident consonant sound.Headed towards the surface in hopes of recharging the magical stones that belong to his subterranean race, a gnome named Gnorm (Mike Avery) is instead embroiled in a murder case involving a dead police officer.When his partner is killed in the line of duty and the blame falls on him, Det. Gallagher (Anthony Michael Hall) must team up with the only witness to the incident, which happens to be a gnome named Gnorm.With a laughable plot that falls betwixt fantasy and buddy-comedy, as well as a pitiable attempt at puppetry, A Gnome Named Gnorm is strictly lowbrow entertainment.Besides, the police dogs would eat the gnome cop before he could even solve his first case. (Red Light)

With a title like that, I expected a very dumb movie, but it wasn't bad.....actually decent. It's a harmless cop-fantasy film with police drama mixed in with some humor and special effects. I found a lot more drama than humor, which surprised me, although there were a few funny lines by the "gnome," a special- effects creation of Stan Winston. Despite a film filled with angry characters - cops and crooks - the language was pretty tame and the film moves well and zips by since it's only 84 minutes. Yes, the story is ludicrous and some of the dialog is B-movie, but it was pretty enjoyable.

I give this movie infinite thumbs up. A Gnome Named Gnorm will capture your heart with and awesome story line. Gnorm does his best to foil the bad guys plot to get away with murder. He doesn't know what to think of this new world he has stumbled upon, but he has an eye on the one human friend and protector, Samantha. This is the best movie for children and as well as family. There isn't anything that I don't like about this movie. I would recommend it to everyone! It reminds me of Leprechaun only without the profanity. It is a fun and interesting way to see a fictitious creature in a world new to his own race. It shows a relationship between two races and real life that anyone can relate too.

This movie did not really engage either my heart or my head. I would say that it is more appropriate for children, except some of the humour is a little too adult for a young audience. Nevertheless, a wonderful performance from Mark Harelik as the odious Kaminsky kept me watching to the end.
