Shorts (2009)

Shorts

From the director of Spy Kids comes yet another kids movie. The movie is called “Shorts”, for a reason. It all starts when a boy who lives in the neighborhood of differences finds a wishing rock. The boy and his friends start wishing for worldly things from castles to the extreme of aliens. The real fun part of the story starts when the adults want their hands on the rock. Once it is in the hands of the adults, wishing gets to the next level and at last the film ends with explaining how everything comes back to normal. The narrator (Ted, the boy) doesn’t remember the events in the order it happened as many things happened simultaneously, hence he goes on to tell the story as “Shorts” (events explained in shorter versions and un-orderly manner). Overall a fun movie which has a serious thought. A good movie to watch for passing time.

  1. Oh, this is from Robert Rodriguez. I'm a great fan of his gory movies especially From Dawn Till Dusk. Also, lookout for his debut film El Mariachi
