Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

When I first saw Disney made this movie I wasn't too thrilled watching it because I rarely enjoy those movies. But with Holes it was totally different, it was pleasant to watch, with good acting and a decent story. Seeing Shia LaBeouf acting at that age shows you he already had good acting skills when he was a kid. Jon Voight was to me the best actor in this movie playing Mr.Sir. Sigourney Weaver at 54 still looks amazing and even though she has not the biggest role she was still pleasant to watch. The story isn't too far fetched and is entertaining enough to never get bored. So all in all Disney can make movies worth watching, and not only for kids, even if most of the actors are kids.

This is actually a fun little movie. It is about a kid from a cursed family going off to a camp for troubled youth which is more like a prison, etc, etc. The plot is layered but works well because it is well written. The film is a fun for the whole family kind of joint. It works well and I can not say enough about it without spoiling it so I won't. My only criticism is the soundtrack, it is horrendous. Anyway this movie is worth checking out if you're into offbeat hollywoodized indie films that make the most out of their budget. What the heck does that even mean? Whatever, I think I'm going to end this review here. Have a goodnight and drive home safe.

Holes is a Walt Disney production of 2003. The story takes place in the Texas during moderns times. Holes is an adventure ad drama comedy. The film is directed by Andrew Daws who made other good movies like Le fugitive. Holes is a movie based on a book of the same name. The book is writ by Louis Sachar. He has a little role on the beginning and the end of the movie.Holes is the story of Stanley Yelnats incarnated by Shia Leboeuf that was send at Camp Green Lake because he stole a pair of choes. At the camp he met Zero (kleo Thomas) and became very good friend. One day, Zero escape from the camp. Few days later, Stanley joins him and they climb the Good thump. Finally, they return to the camp to dig their last hole.Since the film is based on the book, I found that the movie was better because compared to the book; many details for each part on the book make it hard to understand.The actors were very well prepared. They were natural and felt good with their role. For example, Shia Laboeuf was 17 years old and played very good Stanley that was 13. This movie was very well prepared and many stars played on it so it' make the movie more professional and famous.Finally, Holes is a very good movie and I appreciated but I've seen better movie. For this reason I give the mark of 5/10 that is a very good mark for a movie for me.Messaad,Abdel HR: 201

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
