ROBERT RODRIGUEZ - MOVIE REVIEWS SHORTS

MOVIE REVIEWS SHORTS

Robert Rodriguez's Shorts doesn't hold much threat to the leading box-office contenders this weekend, critics seem to suggest. But they give it better-than-passing marks anyway. "It's slight but enjoyable family fare," Claudia Puig writes in USA Today. In the New York Daily News, Elizabeth Weitzman gives it points for providing "just enough smart, silly fun for families desperately seeking an easy (and air-conditioned) escape from hazy August humidity." Rodriguez casts his own children plus a niece in the movie. Amy Biancolli of the San Francisco Chronicle brought her own child along to the press screening. "My fourth-grader giggled maniacally," she writes. "The 9-year-old in me did, too."
