Meu Amigo, o Gnomo

Straight to the point, this movie is bad. I have trouble calling it even a B movie, and probably ranks at the C level. However, if you have an odd sense of humor, you will get a sick sense of satisfaction from this movie. I was grinning all the way through this movie, but a grimace was hiding just underneath. The funniest scene is when the gnome character insists that gnome is pronounced ga-nome. Still to this day, I find myself grinning whenever I think about the comment "no it's gnot", and say it whenever possible. My suggestion is to see this movie, but see it when you truly have nothing better to do, as it will rank somewhere between a complete waste of time, and the greatest experience ever (ok, not quite, but it was enjoyable). If you are expecting a serious film, look elsewhere, but for classic C film quality, look no further.

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 found the movie....fun. If you're all you watch are 'chick flicks' or "Titanic" type movies, then this is gnot a movie for you. However, if you have an off-beat sense of humor (or any sense of humor), I think you'll agree that this is a good show. "Ice Age" and "Little Nikky" fans - - this movie is for you. That's the kinda group of people "Gnorm" will appeal to, yeah that's the ticket. Take mind that this information is coming from a guy that prefers the original "Planet of the Apes" movies to the Tim Burton version (which was very good also). I also shed a tear in Star Trek X - Nemesis when Data sacrificed himself (NOT!).

When I was younger I watched over and over. I'm in my late 30s and still absolutely love watching this movie. It has a great cast and Gnorm is an unforgettable character. I've been quoting the movie for years. Unfortunately, I'm one of very few who remember this goofy movie. It has all the classic 80s/early 90s police movie tropes, along side the standard humor and action. Gnorm's character design seems to be ahead of it's time in my opinion. His style holds up to movies today. I personally still love the live action puppeteering over CGI l. So, I might be a albeit bias when it comes to the character. I highly recommend giving it a go.

Fun movie I watched when I was 9 and loved it. I watched it again recently and still made me laugh 24 years later
