What happens

A Gnome Named Gnorm (released in some markets as Upworld and The Adventures of a Gnome Named Gnorm) is a fantasy buddy comedy film directed by Stan Winston and written by Pen Densham and John Watson. Gnorm was the second and final feature film directed by Winston, an award-winning special effects artist who continued to work in special effects afterward. The film stars Anthony Michael Hall, Jerry Orbach, and Claudia Christian. Hall plays a Los Angeles police detective who teams up with a gnome to solve a murder. Vestron Video released Gnorm direct-to-video in the United Kingdom in 1990, but financial difficulties left the film passing between corporate owners before seeing a limited United States theatrical release in 1993 and a wide home video release in 1994. The film received generally negative reviews, with criticism focused on its heavy use of crude sexual humor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
