Family Film Guide: "Shorts"
Friday, August 21, 2009

The Post-Gazette reviews movies from a family perspective:

'Shorts'

Rated: PG.

Suitable for: Kindergartners and older.

What you should know: This fantasy adventure, conceived in the spirit of "The Little Rascals," is about a magical rock that makes wishes come true. It's told out of order, though, which could puzzle or confuse really young kids.

Language: None.

Sexual situations and nudity: Married adults briefly kiss, and there is a throwaway line by a young woman to her former boyfriend who turns into a giant: "I don't care how big your feet are now."

Violence/scary situations: All played for laughs but features snakes, crocodiles, children falling out of trees or into a mailbox or being hit with a purse or stuffed upside down into a trash can.

Drug or alcohol use: Nothing notable.
