646f9e108c A Los Angeles police detective partners up with a talking gnome in order to bring down the head of a crime ring. Gnorm is just an average Gnome. But he wants to impress the lady Gnomes by doing something heroic. So he steals the Gnome&#39;s magic stones to expose them to sunlight to recharge them. When he gets to the surface, (Gnome&#39;s live deep underground) he witnesses a murder, and the killer ends up with his stones. Detective Casey, who was working a sting operation with the murdered man, (another detective) is blamed for botching the sting, and causing the death. Wanting to catch the killer to clear his name, he teams up with Gnorm, who he accidentally discovers. He is going to need Samantha&#39;s help, but she thinks he is a nut. You see, no one else knows about Gnorm. With a title like that, I expected a very dumb movie, but it wasn&#39;t bad…..actually decent. It&#39;s a harmless cop-fantasy film with police drama mixed in with some humor and special effects. <br/><br/>I found a lot more drama than humor, which surprised me, although there were a few funny lines by the &quot;gnome,&quot; a special- effects creation of Stan Winston. <br/><br/>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&#39;s only 84 minutes. Yes, the story is ludicrous and some of the dialog is B-movie, but it was pretty enjoyable. A Gnome Named Gnorm is an excellent movie, with great direction, screenplay, and voice acting. The plot captures the viewer&#39;s interest from beginning to end. It is a fun adventure for the whole family. Satisfaction guaranteed! Three thumbs up!!
