SHORTS movie release + ‘Shorts’ prize package presented by TheMommyInsider.com

I hope you’re looking forward to Shorts, the new PG movie from the director of Spy Kids.. it’s sure to be a huge hit.  Sebastian can’t wait to see it!

ABOUT SHORTS:

In Theaters August 21st.. Shorts is set in the suburb of Black Falls, where all the houses look the same and everyone works for BLACK BOX Unlimited Worldwide Industries Incorporated, whose Mr. Black’s BLACK BOX (say that 5 times really fast) is the ultimate communication and do-it-all gadget that’s sweeping the nation.

Other than keeping his parents employed, however, Mr. Black’s BLACK BOX has done nothing for 11-year-old Toe Thompson, who just wants to make a few friends…until a mysterious rainbow-colored rock falls from the sky, hits him in the head and changes everything. The Rainbow Rock does Mr. Black’s BLACK BOX one better: it grants wishes to anyone who holds it. Before long, wishes-gone-wrong have left the neighborhood swarming with tiny spaceships, crocodile armies, giant boogers…and outrageous magical mayhem around every corner.

But it’s not until the grown-ups get their hands on the Rock that the trouble really starts. Now Toe and his newfound friends must join forces to save their town from itself, discovering along the way that what you wish for is not always what you want.

  1. I love the part in the trailer where the mom keeps wishing to be closer to her husband and then they get all twisted together! This looks like a great movie!

  2. Thanks for the giveaway… I’ll see it, but only as a parent whose kids need an adult to accompany them to the cinema !!! (From the clip, it doesn’t look that…bad ???)

  3. If I had the Rainbow Rock I would like to say that I would wish for my knee to be all better, but I would wish that we were able to get the kids more school clothes! 🙂

  4. As an artist, I love the creativity in this movie!!! The kids have been excited to see it ever since the first trailer. It’s very imaginative. I can see it as being a “kid classic” of their generation. Fun!

  5. I would like to watch it with my son. He liked spy kids so he would probilty like this since its from the same maker plus it looks like it would make him laugh.

  6. I want to see this movie because my 6 year old son has recently discovered the Spy Kids series and would LOVE this movie!

  7. If I had the rock I would wish for my husband to come back from Afghanistan safe and sound where he has been with the Army for over a year.

  8. This movie looks like a great family movie. If I held the rock I would wish our family perfect mental and physical health.

  9. I’d wish for 10 million dollars because with it I could live comfortably for the rest of my life, pay off all the bills, and take care of my mother (and maybe get her a shrink if she agrees).

    The rest doesn’t involve money.

  10. If I held the rock I would wish for my husband to not be in pain no more, and that we didnt struggle so much to make ends meet.

  11. I think it would be a great one for the whole family and it is made by the same people who made Spy Kids so it should be very entertaining for kids especially. I think we need some good wholesome entertainment and this sounds like a good new one!

  12. I want to see the movie because both my kiddos loved Spy Kids, and because my son will never let me have any peace until we do lol. It does look like a good movie with tons of imagination. 🙂

  13. What would I do if I got a hold of the Wishing Rock? Loaded question, there are so many things I would change about my life. I would definitely wish for money because that’s really the root of most of my problems 🙁

  14. I want to see the movie because I love the premise of ‘anything can happen’ because it is magic 😀 I love the silly things kids wish for lol!

  15. I would love to take my kids to see this, because everytime the commercials come on for it, they always laugh, especially when the guy turns into a big weiner & rolls down the hill. lol

  16. I would love to see this movie,looks like alot of mixed up wishes, I’m sure the whole family would enjoy this movie.

  17. If I had the rock, I would wish for enough money that my husband wouldn’t have to go to work so that we both could stay at home with the kids together while they are young and have fun with them.

  18. My kids have been talking about this movie and my daughter says the book is really good so I would like to go see it with them since they are interested in going.

  19. If I could wish for something, it would be that finacially things could get much easier for my family. Thanks.

  20. I want to see this because this looks like a really cute movie to bring my kids too. It looks funny and the story line of wishing for things is really good.
    Thanks.

  21. I want to see this movie becuase it looks like a cute, funny, great family movie. It would be great to watch on a rainy day.

  22. I would wish for just enough money that we wouldn’t have to go to work for a month or two. I’d love that amount of time just to be together as a family! If my son had the rock, I’m sure he would wish for a zoo though!

  23. I would love to see this because it looks great for the whole family. It looks like a cute story line with lots of humor mixed in. (And my son loved the Spy Kids movies, so coming from the same people, I’m sure this would be a hit too).

  24. If I had the rock, I would have to wish for money right now. Both my husband and I have been unemployed for several months and it is a very draining experience.

  25. What a great looking funny movie! I can tell the whole family will love it! I can already hear my son giggling when the alien hits the kid in the nose.

  26. I really want to see SHORTS because I loved the Spy Kids trilogy and was so sad when it ended. Shark Boy And Lava Girl was great, but since 2005 I have been living in withdrawal from RR’s great kids’ stuff!

    Also, Helvetica Black is adorable.
