Starring: William H. Macy, Jon Cryer, James Spader
Directed By: Robert Rodriguez
Release Date: August 7

The title of Rodriguez's latest film doesn't refer to summer clothes or diminutive tykes, but to a series of intersecting vignettes narrated by an 11-year-old boy (Jimmy Bennett). ''You're at the mercy of how he remembers things, out of order and skipping around,'' says writer-director Rodriguez. ''It's like Pulp Fiction for kids.'' Relax, parents. There are no loquacious hitmen — just a magic rock that drops into a Texas neighborhood after a storm, wreaking havoc when the kids' most inane wishes come true. ''I usually go back to my kids for ideas,'' says Rodriguez.
