Aliana: Hi! i'm reviewing Shorts. In my opinion Shorts is an AWESOME family comedy! It all starts out when.......well, just watch the movie yourself and figure it out. Any way, this is the perfect laugh out loud movie for boys and girls of all ages! The plot is chaotic in an appealing way, the humor isn't cheesy and to top it off, it was directed by the same guy who directed Spy kids (Robert Rodriguez). So, if you're browsing Netflix or Blockbuster or some other form of movie rental for the perfect family movie, then I suggest Shorts! :)
Rory: This is a fun movie with cute kids, and an interesting plot. I liked the mixed-up time sequencing to keep things interesting, and the action definitely has the Robert Rodriguez signature. Grown-ups will appreciate the nitemare boss (wow, James Spader got puffy!) mixed with Big Brother bits: in one scene the husband and wife (mom/dad), both employees, are trying to have dinner, when the "big brother" boss pops up on a two-way screen, demanding to know how the new project is coming along. I enjoyed that aspect. Leslie Mann, the actress of the moment, plays the wife/mom and Jon Cryer plays the husband/dad (a long way from Ducky!) Jimmy Bennett is the lead as Toe Thompson, you'll recognize him from the new Star Trek where he played the young James Kirk. Great family movie.
