Shorts in my opinion is the second worst film he ever made.
Rodriguez's problem is that he makes his kids' movies for HIS kids only. They come up with a lot of ideas. Unfortunately they're not old enough to come up with good ideas.
The film opens with a 9 month pregnant Jessica Alba who is about to give birth any minute. And she is doing a mission. Okay, I know this is just a movie but..... what kind of organization lets A 9 MONTH PREGNANT WOMAN GO ON A MISSION? She's doing all these crazy stunts and doesn't even have a miscarriage. For a family film, this is just offensive.
What other sins does this movie have. Well, we have the typical "girl doesn't get along with her step mother" cliché, wooden acting from Jessica Alba, Joel playing the same a****** he always does, bad CGI, the villain sounding like a chipmunk and making bad time jokes, gross out humour (we have a scene where a boy throws 4 bags of vomit on an enemy ship and we see it splatter in it's disgusting yellow glory complete with the boy saying "Never underestimate the power of puke." and the baby farts in EVERY single scene she's in) and we have Ricky Gervais doing the voice of a robot dog.
Also, how stupid is Alba's character in this film? She takes her baby along for her mission, even though the bad guys are most likely to kill them if they're spotted. (How did this woman get to be an agent anyway if she is so thick?)
The villain shows his past on a video. This takes place in the 30's. How was this possible. How did they get an HD camera? How did he do close ups and editing? Who was filming all of this? This shows you how lazy Rodriguez is.
I doubt that there would be a Spy Kids 5.
