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.

Just like smosh on you tube this really sucks kids fell asleep in the movies and spy kids 4 was better than this reason 1 there throwing rocks that wont teach kids reason 2 no comedy reason 3 cheesy animation id rather watch spy kids 4 never buy this for your kids it a rubbish movie even Thomas and the magic railroad was better than this and that got 2.8 out of 10 on here. Now the characters go on adventures in there backyard lame. This box called black box is a stupid idea and the big storm that could wipe out the world suddenly goes to a stop it slowly stops not just flick done so as i said done buy this no one lives when there eaten by a crocodile

I did not see this willingly. I had to with my summer camp. It was our only choice. What a great way to end my last year at that camp. The acting, writing, cinematography, EVERYTHING was horrible. Nobody was laughing in the theater I was in. And poor Kat Dennings, she has so much potential and she just had to land a role in this god awful movie. And not to mention the painstakingly unfunny lines. "I wish for telephonesis!" "Telekenisis you dummy!" Was I supposed to laugh? Because I was not laughing. Another thing that made me want to jump a cliff was:"Helvetica! Helvetica!" HEL-F*CKING-VETICA! MY GOD! This is by far the worst movie I have ever seen! And families, DO NOT take your kids to this one. For the sake of your kids. Please.

I thought the movie was weird, artsy, and surreal, but in a good and entertaining way; you know, like the imagination of Calvin from "Calvin and Hobbes." The movie is about a boy named Toby Thompson, and he's considered a loser by his peers. He's bored with his regular life, but when he finds a different colored rock that can grant wishes, his life gets turned upside down. Some of the things the kids wish for (or get) include...Tiny alien friends A lifetime SUpply of Candy Bars "Telephoneisis" (a play on telekinisis)A Castle A Super Smart Infant Sister A Pterodactyl A CatapultThe movie is clever, and very funny. I really thought it was a cute kids movie. I am not a fan of some of Robert Rodriguez's more recent kids movies, but I thought this one was good. The movie's plot is jumbled up like 'Pulp Fiction' and cleverly told in a series of shorts. Hence the name. I highly suggest it considering all the other family movies that are currently out are crap. i.e. Aliens in the Attic, and G Force. that cloudy with a chance of meatballs movie looked cute too.this movie has earned my rating of 9.5 out of 10
