Movie Review: ***Gnome Alone (2017)

Now available through Instant Netflix
This again is a story about true friendship.  Chloë (Becky G.) moves to her a new neighborhood with her mother.  They move frequently.  Chloë's new neighbor introduces himself, Liam (Josh Peck) but he is a bit nerdy.  Instead she wants to become friends with the popular crowd, and actually loans a sparkly gem she found in her attic.  Turns out this is important to the gnome inhabitants who are defending the home against aliens from another realm.  The stone keeps them away.  In this case the gnomes are the good guys, defending earth against the every hungry aliens.  Chloë's friend goes ahead a loses the gem, and Chloë can't get it back.   Liam is sucked into the other world, and Chloë goes to bring him back.  Sometimes friendship is more important than popularity.
This really has a strange plot, but the friendship stuff is nice and well presented.  I watched this with the grandkids.
