3.0 out of 5 stars A Fun & Fluff 'B' Movie Which Zips Along, February 14, 2009
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.

Sorry to see this unavailable in any form. Boy, if I had known that, I would have kept my VHS copy.

4.0 out of 5 stars ENJOYABLE, April 6, 2008
One of the local vid stores used to do 2-for-Tuesdays, two video's for a full week for 99 cents, my daughter LOVED this movie and rented it so many times that the store owner gave it to her. Lo and behold she actually wore her copy out, and just in time for her birthday (16) it arrived safe and sound and in very decent shape, I kudo's the seller. Her birthday was March 31 and she has plugged her Gnome in a few times already. A chipper family movie with some over the top snicker factors. Low Rider has never sounded the same after viewing Norm version.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bad 80s film + lecherous gnome = winner, September 19, 2007
By B. Leggans (Illinois) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A friend in high school remembered watching this as a child, so we spent an afternoon prowling all the video stores and rental places in town. For those of you who haven't seen the movie, the G in "gnome" is pronounced--so you can imagine the responses we got from the videostore workers, none of whom owned it (Smirking, "Ugh... we have 'The G-nome Mobile'") Eventually I bought it for him online and finally got to watch it myself.

By any reasonable movie standards, it's terrible. Horrible. Lousy dialogue, obviously done on a very low budget... and the plot is kind of lame as well.

And all the combined to make a fantastic movie to watch! It's hilarious, and the absurdity of the G-nome's search and the detective's problems combine to make a silly movie well worth the couple bucks it takes to buy it nowadays. Besides (though most of the dialogue is rather lame, as I said), how can you resist gems of lines like:

Casey: "If you were a real gnome, you'd know it's pronounced 'nome' not 'g-nome'."
Gnorm: "No, it's g-not."

1.0 out of 5 stars a travesty
This is perhaps the worst film ever made. It boggles the mind to ponder the fact that money, time and effort went into producing this utter monstrosity. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Anthony Michael Hall
In true A.M. Hall fashion he keeps you glued to the screen in all of his antics. (Gnorm steals the screen though.)
