Shorts (Shorts: The Adventures of the Wishing Rock) Reviews and Ratings



  • November 22, 2009
    Fresh, original, family-friendly flick from Robert Rodriguez!
  • November 22, 2009
    I am not sure if I enjoyed this soo much because I saw it right after Zombie's fiasco, or because it made me feel like I was nine years old. If I was 9, this would be the greatest movie ever! Rodriguez's imagination is quite something, with every and anything he can imagine in he...( read more)re. A kid has a telephone grow out of his head, an army of bipedal crocidles show up, a kid wishes for a fort, and gets it, and then the end fight is between a giant wasp, a giant dung beetle, a horde of tiny aliens, and a robot.

    Jimmy Bennett, Jake Short, Kat Dennings

    A young boy's discovery of a colorful, wish-granting rock causes chaos in the suburban town of Black Falls when jealous kids and scheming adults alike set out to get their hands on it.

    Watched this movie with my niece's and nephew. From the sound of their laughter and their screams, I think they enjoyed it a lot more then I did. But I did like the movie. Thought it was funny. Had some really grotesque moments that made me a little squimish. But it was a fun movie. Not to be taken serious. It's definitely a movie made for kids. Not a lot for of adult action in this movie. So I would definitely recommend seeing this with a kid to fully appreciate the fun of it.

    My best friend and I were bored one afternoon and so we headed to the cinema. We randomly selected this movie to watch and it was quite okay I guess. It was a lame movie but the humour in it compensated for the lameness of it. Overall, an okay movie that I would not watch again.

    it was really funny and quite strange

    I saw it with a 12 yr old, which was the right market... other than the sheer delight of James Spader and the amiability of Bill Macy... there wasn't a lot for me, but the 12 yr old loved it

    This is a movie I probably would not have seen in a million years, except for the fact that it was playing between two movies I wanted to see at the drive-in this weekend. I didn't know a thing about it going in but found myself actually enjoying it, despite being a total kid fl...( read more)ick. Sure, there is some typical gross-out humor, such as a giant booger monster, but even I can remember a time when I would imagine what it would be like to have anything you wished for. Definitely a fun ride for young ones.

    A fun kids movie that might serve as a nice introduction to non-linear storytelling. Not a huge amount here other than that. It was fun, and managed to avoid the usual trope of "lol kids are smart and adults are all idiots" that kids movies often play for a cheap win. Even if it ...( read more)did fall into that trap every now and again.

    And it has some nice play on font naming schemes. It's an odd plus, but I'll give it.

    an imaginitive feature for the tweenie crowd, reinforcing their feelings of evident superiority over the embarrassing adolescents they know. a little fun.

    This movie was awful! Usually my kids talke non-stop about the movies they go see, but this one they said very little. It jumped around too much especially if you have small children. But I can say the actors in the movie were not bad. Cute kids
