Shorts (2009)
EW's GRADE
C+Details Release Date: Aug 21, 2009; Length: 89 Minutes; Genre: Kids & Family; With: Kat Dennings, Trevor Gagnon, Leo Howard, William H. Macy and Rebel Rodriguez
More like a summer-camp theater project than a studio movie, Shorts' noodly, kid-oriented action-adventure story follows a magic, wish-granting rock as it falls into various pint-size hands in one all-American suburb. Kid-at-heart filmmaker Robert Rodriguez, whose playtime Spy Kids trilogy gets a gold star, looks like he's having great fun, but what about the rest of us? Can we wish for a fresher subplot than that of pleasure-deadened grown-ups who live their lives in a stupor of consumerism? C+
