Shorts might be an O.K. family film, but if your over 10 you will think it really, really, sucks.SHORTS: (2009)Well what would you expect from the makers of Spy Kids and Sharkboy and Lavagirl? Exactly what you would expect, actually. Another annoying, high pitched, poorly written, poorly acted, sped-up load of cacá.High pitched voices of nearly every character, a dumb plot, and terrible effects when used basically make up the synopsis of this movie.Don't watch it if you are a mature movie goer and enjoy a good comedy once and a while. If you were expecting something better than Spy Kids, or any other movies with the same tone as that, this is not the film for you.

This is one of the best movies for families out there! The manner in which it is told is so intriguing (it skips around in time). Good wins, and the bad turns good in the end. LOVE IT! I really don't know how it could get a 5...it is the one movie my Godson and I both LOVE! There are some crude booger jokes, but otherwise, great film. The line up of actors is incredible...Cryer, Mann, Spader, Macy...really great! The baby made me laugh the hardest. It was very imaginative and quirky, unlike the formulaic Disney movies. I always ask my friends if they have seen this, and none have. I think if more people would watch the movie, they would rate it higher than a 5.

I watched this movie expecting nothing out of it as I had read all the negative reviews. Knowing that reviews can be WRONG I chose to check it out for myself. I thought the premise of a wishing rock held a lot of promise. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I was right. This movie was really entertaining. I found it to be funny and creative. It captured what I thought a child might imagine. It was pretty quirky in a good way. The little things that the actors did made it funny. Their gestures and the way the spoke made them lovable. I think that they could not have gotten better actors for this movie. They made the movie work. As far as the complaints about the movie being mish-mashed or being confusing, I don't agree. I think that component, actually the theme (short stories within the story), really worked. I had no problem understanding the movie. And all the complaints about it not entertaining is really beyond me. This movie was more entertaining to me than all the other big budget movies I have seen all year. To those of you who think I am the director or one of the employees of the company that made the movie, no I am not any of those. I am just one of you. If you have not seen this movie, go rent it. You will thank me afterwards. Enjoy!

I love James Spader, he's a very talented actor and i watched this rubbish, for him. I hated it.Jon Cryer is wonderful on Two and A Half Men but in this movie we can't see him. There are a lot of children and they can't act at all.Robert Rodriguez is a good director but can i ask him "what the hell is this?" This is not movie for child i think, kids don't watch this movie, because it's really a rubbish.And the little girl Helvetica is the new version of Christina Ricci, but only she can act. Two stars, for her.If i could wish something, i would wish this; "Please don't play in this movie, James Spader, i'm begging you".
