I thought this was a really good and very funny movie that the whole family will love! It has an awesome plot, funny situations, and lovable characters. The movie is told out of order in a series of 'short' episodes! In the town of Black Falls, all the adults work for Black Box Unlimited Worldwide Industries Incorporated. Toby Thompson is a lonely kid who gets picked on gets picked on by Mr. Black's kids, until Toby finds a Rainbow colored wishing rock that will grant his every wish. Toby is just one of the many kids who have found the rock, like Nose Noseworthy, Loogie, Cole, and Helvetica Black. When Mr. Black gets ahold of the rock, he uses it for world domination. Can the kids of Black Falls stop him before he becomes mad with power? I highly recommend SHORTS!!!

Interesting movie that I first saw on TV. I bought it to watch again and found it very entertaining and enjoyed the acting of seasoned well known actors and actresses.. Great story line and fun film for the family.

This is one of the few non-animated movies made for kids that I really enjoyed! Great cast & interesting story line -very entertaining!

This movie had my 8 year old just cracking up. It was the best in years that we've had for parental enjoyment of a kids' film. I don't know how I can make these filmmakers enough. So clever, off-the-wall, hilarious, and timeless (i.e. full of the screwed-up nostalgia we all remember from being kids ourselves).

This movie is basically a ton of short stories that intertwine with the characters. A rainbow wishing rock is found and the movie follows each character as they get what they wish for. Hilarious! My 4 and 11 year olds both enjoyed this as did I, and they've rewatched it several times.

A fun kid flick from the SPY KIDS (et al) director. It's silly, goofy, fast-paced, visually bizarre, well-acted, and fun. It's as good as any kid flick out there, and better than lots (WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE? yuch.), but not in the same league as TOY STORY and their ilk.

I don't know why so many people over-criticize this movie. It ain't Fellini- it's a kids movie. It's *supposed* to be non-linear.

Lighten up. Enjoy it for what it is.

My kids loved this movie. It was funny, For younger children ......I found that kids from the age of 4 through ten that watched it at my sons movie party loved it.

My 8-year-old and 9-year-old LOVE this movie. I can't count how many times they've watched it. All the gross kid stuff is extremely funny to them. Like many kids, they've experienced or witnessed bullying, and I think the lead character is easy for viewers to sympathize with. It's also nice how viewers get an idea of what causes the bullies to act as they do. Of course, kids love the idea of having "special powers" to get what they want, and I think it's helpful for them to see how having such powers can get out of hand. The messages in the movie are good points of discussion to have in the family. I also like that I don't have to mute out profanity, or explain more mature situations - I don't remember hearing/seeing them in this movie! That makes it truly a kids movie.

We got the Blu-ray that also came with a digital copy. So, we got two discs: one for the Blu-ray player, and one regular DVD that works in the portable DVD player. This made everyone VERY happy! We could take it in the car, but still have the really sharp Blu-ray version when we watched on the home system.

I recommend it for the kids' video library.

I bought this for my nephew for Christmas and we watched it last night. I have to say I was really impressed with this movie. Most kids movies are super cheesy but this one was actually really funny! It didn't have a lot of adult humor like some kids movies, it was just all around funny kid adventures. :)

I bought this dvd for my nephew for xmas he absolutley loved it. This is not just a kids movie as adults can enjoy it to. Nice to find a movie that you could just watch and enjoy without all the language and violince being a concern. Look forward to more like this.
