SHORTS (2009)
If you enjoyed the Spy Kids series you will enjoy this one. It is classic Robert Rodriguez (and sons) fantasy fare - much along the same lines as Sharkboy And Lavagirl, maybe just not quite as far out there.
Toby Thompson (very well portrayed by the talented Jimmy Bennett) is your typical middle schooler who is plagued by the two school bullies who are also his parents' boss' kids. But then he finds a magical rainbow colored wishing stone and everything. And I mean EVERYTHING so that it gives new meaning to the adage "Be careful what you wish for..."
Even though this movie is obviously aimed at the kid market, if you are a Robert Rodriguez fan, this is a definite must see. If you are not, you might find it a bit over the top. But so then is most of the work done by this unconventional movie maker from Texas. I give it 3 out of 5 stars.
