Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

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 watched this movie from 2009 on a single children's matinée showing at 11 am with my movie theatre-working friend. With Robert Rodriguez' name attached, I expected something silly with some good laughs and I did. The title is meant to convey that it's a series of short segments as told by the main kid character in connection with a whole feature that deals with a wish-bearing rock. I think I liked the one about the booger monster the best with second being that bit where Leslie Mann and Jon Cryer as that kid's parents are being literally stuck together. Oh, and I didn't know that this was the first time that Cryer and James Spader had been in the same movie together since Pretty in Pink some 23 years previous. Anyway, I was amused most of the time and wouldn't mind seeing this again with my nieces and nephews. So on that note, Shorts is worth a look if you're in the mood for something imaginative and humorous.

If you are 10 and above,don't even give a thought about watching this movie! Stay away! But if you got this nice little kid below 10 raving to go to the movies,take the kid to a movie like UP! or the toy story!.Not this! I had seen "honey i shrunk the kids" when i was a kid,and i still remember stuff out of the movie.Now that defines the success of a Children's movie. Shorts is not even worth calling a movie,let alone for remembering! I got to see the blu ray edition of this thing and the movie was all colorful and bright in the right sense,but what does'nt look so in High Definition?! Apart from this the movie has got nothing to offer.The movie ain't a series of interesting shorts,its a series of tortures and was a pain to watch.Robert Rodriguez's spy kids would have won 12 Oscars for various categories if its competitor was shorts! :D Have fun people!

You could do worse than to take your kids to see this film.I'm rating this on the same level I rated "The Final Destination" and "GI JOE.""The Final Destination" was a silly gimmicky horror film. "GI JOE" was a silly generic action film. "Shorts" is just a silly generic kids film, and when I say it's a kids film, I mean it's a KIDS film.Children will either like it or they won't. It's got a lot of stuff in it that will probably keep an undiscerning 5-10 year old entertained for an hour and a half. However, anyone over a certain age will just go... "Hey, that's kind of ridiculous..."The acting ranges from good to bad. The special effects are mostly obvious CG effects. The story is kind of lame, but it's a kids movie. Really everything in this film is just... OK. It's not a terrible film, but there's nothing that really makes it stand out either. The one thing I kind of liked was the story structure and editing style, but that's just about it. I just think its a kids film that tries a little too hard to be "just for kids." It doesn't really respect the intelligence of the kids watching it, but if the kids aren't picky anyway, it's not really a problem.I wouldn't really recommend it, but there's nothing wrong with it. If you just want to take your child to a movie, and this is the only thing playing, I'd say go for it. But its not something you absolutely have to see.5/10 - Generic kids film, but it's not terrible.
