Jan's Opinion: My Grandson and I saw this movie yesterday and we both enjoyed it and we both gave it a "7" rating. "Shorts" is set in the suburb of Black Falls and everyone works for Black Box Unlimited, owned by Mr. Black (of course) played by James Spader. His son and daughter are as obnoxious as he is and they pick on this 11 year old boy named Toe Thompson, who just wants to have a few friends. Toe climbs up a tree to escape the bullying kids and a rainbow-colored rock hits him in the head and he falls out of the tree. He learns that when he is holding the rock, anything he wishes for comes true. He has a good time with the rock and then the grownups get hold of the rock and they are more dangerous than the kids! William H. Macy plays a Scientist who stays indoors with his son and they never go outside for fear of catching germs. It's a cute movie.
