an imaginitive feature for the tweenie crowd, reinforcing their feelings of evident superiority over the embarrassing adolescents they know. a little fun.
If you look at the movies Robert Rodriguez does, you'll notice that he is very versatile. He'll go from Planet Terror to Shorts, and you have to know he directed Shorts to be able to tell it's one of his movies. When Robert Rodriguez DIRECTS a kids movie, it IS a kids movie. Unli...( read more)
Cute kids movie, but just that - a kids movie. It had the same feel as Spy Kids, so if you liked that one, you should like this one (Same director).

I saw it with a 12 yr old, which was the right market... other than the sheer delight of James Spader and the amiability of Bill Macy... there wasn't a lot for me, but the 12 yr old loved it
My fourth-grader giggled maniacally. The 9-year-old in me did, too. full review

Shorts channels the same gross-out overkill as the Captain Underpants books that parents endure and pre-teen boys so dearly love. The difference is that those books have an editor (and they're funnier). full review
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Shorts (Shorts: The Adventures of the Wishing Rock)" !
