It is a wildly self-indulgent fantasy adventure that should have gone straight to Youtube, where all 'Dad-thinks-he's-cool-with-a-camera' home videos belong. Full Review

Chaotic, messy, and horribly mind-numbing... Full Review

Rating: 5/10 -- ...a mishmash of slapstick fights, tiny green men, galumphing alligators, nose picking, giant booger monsters, and endless silliness. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- The latest child's-eye adventure from Robert Rodriguez, Shorts doesn't hit the heights of his Spy Kids series. But it provides just enough smart, silly fun for families desperately seeking an easy escape from hazy August humidity. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- Light, silly fun, amiably performed by both its veteran cast and exuberant young 'uns. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- In the Disneyfied dumbed-down marketplace for kids' films, there's something daring and even refreshing in a movie which messes with conventional narrative. If only it wasn't so frantic. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/5 -- All of these adventures call on Rodriguez's fascination with visual effects, which could be tough on his human cast, but he has the wit to keep them in focus. All up, it's good fun. Full Review

Product Description:

After a violent detour for GRINDHOUSE, director Robert Rodriguez returns to the family film genre of SPY KIDS with this adventure. In SHORTS, the suburb Black Falls may seem quiet, but the arrival of a wish-granting rock causes the small town to fall into chaos. William H. Macy, John Cryer, Leslie Mann, and James Spader star in this magic-filled film that was shot in Rodriguez's beloved Austin, Texas.
