Shorts (2009) (Rental/DVD)

Eleven-year-old Toe Thompson already thinks his neighborhood is weird ... but it's about to get a whole lot weirder! Toe (Jimmy Bennett) serves as the designated punching bag for the bullies of the suburban community of Black Falls, where, during a freak storm, a mysterious Rainbow Rock falls from the sky and grants wishes to anyone who finds it. As the Rock ricochets around the town--from kid to kid and parent to parent--wishes gone wrong quickly turn the neighborhood upside down in a wild rampage of everything from tiny aliens to giant boogers. A multi-generational ensemble cast including Emmy nominee Jon Cryer ("Two and a Half Men"), Oscar nominee William H. Macy (Fargo), Leslie Mann (Knocked Up) and three-time Emmy winner James Spader headlines this comedy adventure for all ages from Robert Rodriguez (Spy Kids). ]]>
