I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

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.

Holes release at 2003. The director is Andrew Daws. Shia LaBoeuf was the cast for Stanley, Khleo was the cast for Zero, Jon Voigt was the cast for Mr. Sir and Sigourney Weaver was the cast for the Warden. Louis Sachar was the screenplay. The genre is adventure comedy. The movie is in Camp Green Lake in Texas. The movie Lent is 117 minutes.Stanley was blamed to rob sneakers. The judge said to him that he should choose the jail or the Camp Green Lake. Stanley chooses the Camp Green Lake. At the Camp Green Lake, they dug holes that are why this movie is named holes. When they find something they need to give it to the warden. Zero is the best friend of Stanley and when Zero run away, Stanley run away to find his friend because around the Camp Green Lake we have a lot of kilometers in the desert. Stanley found Zero and they return to the camp…The soundtrack was not very good. Example, when kissing Kate Barlow shot whit gun, we just heard it 2 or 3 seconds after. Also, when the bus drives we don't listen the sound of the motor.The book and the movie was different. Example, in the movie book they said what Zero and Stanley did when they escape from the camp, but in the film we saw only where they went. Also, in the book they explain when Stanley and other boys were in the room and in the movie they did not just explain what happened.I think that movie was very good, but lack of information that are in the book. He is very good because the actor embodies their character. I give this movie 8 stars on 10.

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

This movie is a really good adventure drama comedy. Released in 2003, this film is based on a book of Louis Sachar. The story happened in Texas. The main stars of the cast are Shiaa Laboeuf,Sigourney Weaver and Jonh Voight.Stanley Yelnats is a young man who had bad luck all his life,this is because of a curse on his family that was made years ago. Now, Stanley is at Camp Green Lake, a youth detention center, at this place Stanley will dig holes everyday. The Warden of the camp said that it's to build character, but Stanley will discover that the wasteland of the lake has a lot to offer. He will find a treasure, but also a beautiful friendship story. Stanley will finally understand that some things happen in his life because it's his destiny, not because is family was cursed.The film is based on a book written by Louis Sachar, the movie was directed by Andrew Davis. This film brings characters from the book to life with succeess. The cast is really good because a lot of stars are in it ; Stanley (Shia Laboeuf)The Warden (Sigourney Weaver),Mr.Sir(Jonh Voight), Mr. Pendanski(Tim Blake Nelson) and Zero (Khleo Thomas).The soundtrack of the movie is also really good, it complete the actions. I hear «I will survive» when we learn more about Katherine Barlow. I think that the music can make a movie better, like for Holes,without the music this film might be boring.I really like this movie. The book was great and the film was also great. I don't know if it's because of the cast or the screenplay (Louis Sachar) but I didn't recognize the classic Disney movie,fortunately ! This film is not for young children but I think that children, teenagers and adult will like it.
