Holes (2003)

Very disappointing...

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

This is a TERRIBLE movie. I am really shocked by the generally positive reviews here. The story is full of promise, but the hacked script, poor editing, bad acting, confused direction (are the other boys Stanley's friends or not!?) makes this excruciating to watch. I would hardly give this a 1 out of 10!

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.

Holes is a 2003 adventure comedy drama movie directed by Andrew Davis. The story takes place at the end of the 20th century in Texas, in Camp Green Lake exactly.Camp Green Lake is a camp for bad boys.When Stanley Yelnats (Shia LaBeouf) is unjustly sent to Camp Green Lake he didn't know that the camp was related to his family and his no- good- dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather.One day, Stanley found a lipstick tube that belonged to the famous outlaw kissing Kate Barlow.From that day, he knows that the warden (Sigourney Weaver) is trying to find something.When Stanley and Zero(Kleo Thomas) escaped from the camp, Stanley broke the curse that was in his family.The movie won three awards like the Sierra award for the best family film,in 2004.And they was nominated for nine awards like the critics choice award for the best family film-live actions or the MTV movie award for the breakthrough male performance.Why holes is a good movie for me it's because it bring to life the novel with the same name on which it's based. I think it's because the screenplay writer is Louis Sachar, the author of the novel. If you didn't know, he played a little thirteen seconds in the movie. Try to find him :). Holes the movie had little differences with the book for example: in the book Stanley is tall and fat but in the movie he's just tall.In conclusion,I liked that movie because it's very similar to the novel, the casting and the soundtracks are good. I highly recommend that movie for person who love to see movies with their family.Chaoui Mohamed 202

My movie is Hole. It was released in 2003, the movie takes place in Texas. The genre of the movie is adventure, comedy and drama. The director is Andrew Daws and the screenplay is the same one that wrote the book, it's Louis Sachar. The movie lenght is 117 minutes. It was producted by Disney and it's rated p.g. The prominent stars are Shia Lebeouf (Stanley), Sigourney Weaver (The warden), Jon voight (Mr.sir) and Tim Blake Nelson(Mr.Pendanski).The movie is about the story of Stanley Yelnats, a guy s at Camp Green Lake for a crime that he didn't commit, which is stealing shoes of a base-ball player. When he went to the camp, the first thing that he saw was that there is no lake. When he was there, he made a lot of friends, but one in particular: everybody named him Zero, but his real name is Hector Zeroni. He will escape from the camp with Stanley.Now, I am going to talk about one aspect of the movie that I really like. It's the fact that the movie brings the book to life. Of course, there is some little details that are not respected, but it don't disturb the viewer. The actor were playing very well. Secondly, I really like the fact that there is family lies in the movie: Zero and Madame Zeroni, The warden and trout walker, etc.Finally I think that it's a really good movie because the story is interesting, the actors played very well, etc.Yassine 202
