To me, this movie is perfection.

So much average

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Holes is a movie about a character named Stanley Yelnats sent to a "camp" called Green Lake over a pair of shoes. The problem with the movie is that it's too short for its own good. The amount of character development and depth in the original novel simply cannot fit into the 2 hour movie. Some parts are also inaccurate to the book, but that did not really affect my opinion on the movie; things are bound to be changed. However, some crucial character development, such as Stanley's drop in weight to show that he has grown stronger, have been completely ignored. The movie is not bad by any means, but it certainly could've been better, and a longer run time would have really, really helped it. I give it 7/10 because the positives outweigh the negatives. As much as I dislike some of the dropped character development, the movie still has really good production value, a really satisfying ending (in my opinion), and is definitely not completely inaccurate to the book. In all: Reading the novel before the movie is highly recommended.

A perfect 10 from me for this movie.I am not going to explain what the story is about, you can read it on the IMDb site, instead, I will give my opinion.This is a movie the whole family can watch, and should watch. It is a Walt Disney Movie after all.In between the three different stories that intertwine, there are life lessons to learn. Like keep the promises you make, don't kill, don't judge a book by its cover, friendship is important etc.I am impressed by the way the three different stories unfold as well as how and when information pertinent to the story is revealed.The actors/actresses are perfectly suited for their roles. Each and everyone of them played their part perfectly.Yes, I did not read the book so I might not be as critical as some reviewers, but I certainly can watch this movie repeatedly and not get tired of.

Holes is a adventure comedy-drama 2003 movie directed by Andrew Davis. with Shia Laboeuf as the leading character. the Movie was filmed in California with a budget of 20 millions us dollars.Stanley Yelnats (Shia LaBeouf), a boy who has bad luck due to a curse placed on his great- great-grandfather (Damien Luvara), is sent to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention camp, for a crime he did not commit. Stanley and the other boys at the camp are forced to dig 5 feet by 5 feet holes in the dirt every day. Stanley (Shia LaBeouf) eventually realizes that they are digging these holes because the Warden (Sigourney Weaver) is searching for something. As Stanley (Shia LaBeouf) continues to dig holes and meet the other boys at the camp, the narrator intertwines three separate stories to reveal why Stanley's family has a curse and what the Warden (Sigourney Weaver) is looking for.I found the music of the movie Holes very original. Every song that was played in the movie had kind of a connection with what was happening in the movie. For example the tent of the boys in the movie was "D" and the name of the group of the main song was "D-tent boys".I think the book made a better story then the movie because there's some important details that weren't in the movie. For example Stanley Yelnats IV was fat in the book and wasn't able to climb things or go places that Shia Laboeuf could in the Disney movie.Even if Holes wasn't a very good movie (personnaly) it was good movie compared to other Disney movies. I give a 6 out of 10 for the movie Holes.

Released in 2003, Holes is a movie that contains drama and comedy. The prominent stars of the movie are Shia LaBoeuf (Stanley), Sigourney Weaver (Warden), Jon Voigt (Mr.Sir), Tim Blake Nelson (Mr. Pendanski) and Khleo Thomas (Zero). Louis Sachar is the one who wrote the book that was based on to make the movie. The movie lasts 117 minutes. Everything started at Camp Green Lake in Texas in contemporary time…s.Stanley Yelnats has a weird family : he is Stanley Yelnats the fourth and his father is trying to find a way to recycle sneakers. Everything is going ''normally'' until one day : Stanley is accused of stealing Clyde Livingston's shoes (they are really famous) and between going to jail or to Camp Green Lake, Stanley chooses Camp Green Lake (a juvenile detention center). At Camp, nothing seems normal : the boys have to dig holes all day long and Stanley is sure that the Warden is looking for something and the digging is just an excuse to search for what she's looking for. One day, Zero ( a friend of Stanley's) takes off and Stanley goes looking for him. Together, the make it to God's thumb (a mountain), Zero confessed something to Stanley that might change everything between them and they find out the whole truth about that place and themselves.The movie scenes are a lot similar to the book's. The actors say the exact same thing as the book's characters. The events happen at the good time and the chronological order is respected as well. The necessary lines of the book are in the movie and the unnecessary ones aren't there. It's a great thing.The soundtrack is also very nice. The music suits the story and the concept. For example, the song ''Dig it'' suits the movie in a perfect way. Plus, the name of the band who sang it is ''D-Tent'' like in the movie ( Stanley and Zero are in the D-Tent). The music is great and well associated to the movie.I really like the movie Holes. It is really great and the cast is very good. The actors learnt their lines and it shows. I read the book and when I watched the movie, it was the exact same thing. There are just little differences (skipped parts). Usually, the books are way better than the movies, but this time, the movie is better. It seemed a little old, because it was in the desert and the visual effects weren't extraordinary. While watching the movie, I felt attached to the characters and to the story. I would give the movie a 8/10 mark, because it is well done, but perfection does not exist and it was not the best movie I watched, either. Anyways, I would recommend it to a public that is between ten and fifteen years old who likes adventure, drama and comedy all mixed up in a movie.Laetitia 203
