Whether he's doing Sin City or Spy Kids, Rodriguez always infantilizes his audience, jolting our synapses and indulging our slavering desires for goop and gore.

All of these adventures call on Rodriguez's fascination with visual effects, which could be tough on his human cast, but he has the wit to keep them in focus. All up, it's good fun.

Dives straight into whiz-bang gizmoland, opting for "pause, rewind" flourishes. Cute and enjoyable family fare, then, if a little forced.

In the Disneyfied dumbed-down marketplace for kids' films, there's something daring and even refreshing in a movie which messes with conventional narrative. If only it wasn't so frantic.

It's like a pre-teen Pulp Fiction.

The special effects aren't up to scratch and the scrappy, episodic conceit detracts rather than enhances.

Dec 03, 2011to be honest, i thought this was an entertaining and imaginatively funny, innocent little movie. having the ingrediants like the spy kids films, robert roderiguez has actually made a really decent and fun family comedy. their can be some scenes that can go really childish, but it's covered by the energy by the young actors and the imagination of family entertainment.

Sep 11, 2010Let me guess. You scrolling down the review section of our profile, looking at each poster on the left of the reviews, and come across this review and see only kids on the film poster. Yes! Robert Rodriguez's "Shorts" is a kids-only film. The film's actors are decent but the film and its sense of humor is too silly for adults. But I have to give props to its creativity, the way the film is split into chapters (probably a homage to Quentin Tarantino movies), and energy. Not as good as the "Spy Kids" movies but better than the terrible "Sharkboy and Lavagirl" movie. Eeesh! Double eesh!Bentley L Super Reviewer

Aug 02, 2010Shorts, is a harmless, chessy, over-the-top kids movie with bad effects, bad dialogue, but a good heart. This movie will definitely not win awards for either the razzies or the oscars, but I believe it can settle right in the middle of the films this year. Shorts fits in just fine, but it's nothing to talk about, so see it if you have nothing better to watch. It's just pure, brainless, kids funny entertainment at it's mediocre best!KJ P Super Reviewer
