This review is based on how much my grandson enjoyed the movie, which makes sense, because it is a movie for children. He is 5 years old and I came across it on our tv's pay-per-view. As soon as he got a glimpse of it, he went on about how "this is the movie I wanted to see." Don't know where he saw it, but well, he watched it OVER and OVER again. I had to "buy" the movie 3 times. Don't know if you know how it works, but when you "buy" a movie on tv, you can watch it for 24 hours. Okay, so the last time he watched it (lastnight), I watched his facial expressions, and he was smiling and laughing, and even after having watched it so many times, he still enjoyed it. As soon as he came home from school yesterday, he asked to see it again. That's why I decided that I needed to buy it, because it wasn't going to be in pay-per-view forever. For little boys, I'm sure they will love it!

A pretty dull affair. We watched it with our 5 year old boy and he did not have the reaction of the boy mentioned in the other review. Not sure why but there is something seriously lacking in this movie. The animation is sub-par by today's standards and the character's vague and unsympathetic. Not very well done.

This movie was pretty complicated. I mean, I understand what a gnome is, but what's a troll? I sat up all night watching this video film and I just didn't get it. I'd see a few gnomes and go, "Wow, cool, a gnome, look at him do that stuff," and then a troll would come on the screen and I'd go, "What? A troll? What are you doing? Start doing stuff, I want to see you do stuff," and he never seemed to do stuff.

If you're an avid fan of gnomes, check out this movie but be ready to fast forward a lot 'cause there is so much troll non-action that will bore you to tears.

If you're a fan of trolls, I just want to know why? What does a troll even do? I don't get it. I mean, come on, get real. These trolls were a joke and almost ruined the film. I gave it a two star review because these trolls were dumb. I wish it was called Gnomes and More Gnomes then it'd get five stars.
