Thursday, August 20, 2009 10:00PM - By Anet Hovhanesian
Robert Rodriguez is partially known for his family oriented adventure movies such as The Spy Kids Trilogy and The Adventures of Sharkboy & Lavagirl. His new film Shorts falls in line with his previous features and is filled with kid friendly action. As a father of five children, the director was inspired by his own kids to tell this latest story.
His son Rebel, who stars in his newest adventure helped dream up Shorts. He even came up with the title. “Rebel said, ‘It’s called Shorts because the stories are short, the kids are short and they wear shorts.” The film stars Jon Cryer, William H. Macy, Leslie Mann, James Spader, Jimmy Bennett and Kat Dennings.
