Reviews


80
Variety - Justin Chang
More zippy, diverting fun from Robert Rodriguez's family filmmaking factory.
75
Miami Herald - Connie Ogle
Fast and funny, and grown-ups will not suffer sitting through it.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
Adult actors pretty much let the youngsters upstage them. The two leads, Bennett and Vanier, do a nice job holding the center of gravity while the film goes nuts around them. Best of all, Shorts is short, finishing before you can truly get tired of all those wishes gone wrong.
67
Austin Chronicle - Marjorie Baumgarten
Rodriguez’s technical wizardry is less showy here than in his other recent outings, which helps Shorts connect with kids on a basic human level.
63
Philadelphia Inquirer - David Hiltbrand
Like "Jumanji," Shorts runs out of momentum before it's half over. That leaves it treading slapstick and killing time until its strained and preposterous big finish.
