    A Gnome Named Gnorm

    Gnomes 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)
