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.

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
This looks like a cute movie.
I think it is a great family movie
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.
I’d love to see this because it’s got William H Macy and James Spader in it! They’re both fantastic actors
If I had the wishing rock I’d wish for health and happiness for my family and friends!
It looks like a great family friendly film.
I really like the special effects in this movie. Reminds me of wacky cartoons. Quite over the top.
Who wouldn’t want to see a movie where your wishes come true?
We want to see this movie because we have enjoyed Spy Kids Trilogy. Also Jon Cryer is awesome!!
There has been very few family movies released this summer! I think this movie will fill the bill! great opportunity! Thanks! senekers@comcast.net
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!
I would wish for a little extra money for needed expenses.

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.
I want to see it because it looks like a lot of fun.
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.
This movie looks like a great family movie. If I held the rock I would wish our family perfect mental and physical health.
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.
I’d wish for those around me to be happy!

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.
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!
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!
