Quotes:

Amanda: Late at night I swim in our pool naked. Joe thinks the neighbours are going to see during the day... he doesn't understand. I just like how it feels on my skin, like there's nothing but just me.

Gnome is truly a wonderful short.

Now the reason I watched this at first was because it had Lauren Graham in it and I am a huge Lauren Graham fan. However, the message to the story made me love this even more. It is truly a great shout out to female independence and individuality. I personally think we need more of that in this world a proverbial "UP YOUR'S" to society. And this short does that. And its all based around a gnome (if you didn't get that from the title). I also how in this short you just see women come together to face their fears, even though they seem so different in almost every way. I would suggest this movie to anyone. It truly is wonderful. The talent in the writing and on screen is amazing.
