While grownups at Black Box Industries work to improve the handheld gizmo that's this year's high-tech must-have, neighbourhood kid Toby "Toe" Thompson has something even better: he's found the Wishing Rock. Be careful what you wish for. Spy Kids filmmaker Robert Rodriguez hatches a fun-filled story of the chaos that erupts when folks young and old get their hands on the rainbow-striped stone. Hang out with an army of tiny outer-space friends. Turn a pesky brother into a beetle. Own a mountain of cash. Be the most powerful person in the world. Great young talents join stars Jon Cryer, William H. Macy, Leslie Mann and James Spader in the hilarious not-so-tall tales of Shorts. (Roadshow Entertainment)
