Shorts Critic Reviews

  • "The problem with Shorts is in the execution. The blown-up plot line derails even the little ones, the many fine comedic grown-ups are mostly squandered, and the "message" part of the movie feels like it was thrown together during detention..." Los Angeles Times

    - Betsy Sharkey

  • "The climactic scene is too frenzied, but another timeless message rises above the ruckus..." USA Today

    - Claudia Puig

  • "More zippy, diverting fun from Robert Rodriguez's family filmmaking factory, Shorts delivers a shopworn moral lesson for kids and adults (be careful what you wish for!)" Variety

    - Justin Chang
