The value of telling the truth can set us free indeed! It is silly for one to be punished for something they did not do. However, this is all just one big movie full of choices based upon desires. Do I know? Probably not, but I can fake my own imagination because it belongs only to me. I give it 6.5 Stars if I could! Yes, it could go in the 'family' genre as another reviewer suggested.

I was initially drawn to this movie because I very much enjoy Shia LaBeouf's style of acting. I had absolutely no experience with the YA novel of the same name, so I had no idea what to expect in terms of plot/characters. What I found was just a fun movie that can be enjoyed by the entire family.For a basic plot summary, "Holes" tells the story of Stanley (LaBeouf), who is wrongly-accused of stealing an expensive pair of shoes and as such shipped off to a boys work camp. Led by Mr. Sir (Jon Voight) and The Warden (Sigourney Weaver), the camp makes each boy dig a large hole in the desert each day in order to "build character". Through the use of flashbacks, however, viewers begin to piece together information suggestion that Mr. Sir and The Warden may have an ulterior motive for the holes.To me, the main draw of this movie (and what ultimately gives it its charm) is the flashbacks that are used to flesh out the backstory of the Stanley Yelnats family and the area where the work camp has been constructed. At first, viewers will wonder what the heck all the flashbacks mean and might even get a bit confused as to how they relate to each other. As the narrative continues, though, the plot lines begin to weave together to form a satisfying conclusion that "we probably should have seem coming" much earlier than we actually do.Of course, children who watch the film will be more attuned to the events of the work camp itself, the crazy antics of Mr. Sir, and the jocular camaraderie present throughout. Even for adults, though, there is enough mystery surrounding the proceedings that things never seem juvenile enough to zone out.Overall, "Holes" is a fun little movie that can be enjoyed by a wide range of audiences. I'm sure that pre-knowledge of its novel counterpart lends even a deeper understanding to the movie's plot and central characters.

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 the movie is an adventure, comedy and drama film that was released theatrically in the U.S.A on April 18, 2003 by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution and was released on DVD and VHS on September 23, 2003 by Buena Vista Home Entertainment and Walt Disney Home Entertainment. It was filmed at Cuddeback Dry Lake in California U.S.A.The movie talks about Stanley a teenager boy who was sent in a juvenile detention center for committing a crime that he was falsely accused by. In this weird camp he will meet a bunch of new people with various nicknames and faces that scares you like Mr. Sir and Armpit. The movie follows Stanley in his way out of the camp and about the old rumor that flies around the weird Camp Green Lake.The film's music includes a lot of people who sang for this movie like the D-Tent boys that was the actor in the movie. There were also more known singers like Dr.John and Eagle Eye. Everybody worked in this movie and gained the opening weekend 16,300,155$ and 71,406,573$ in the worldwide.The cast include: Khleo Thomas, Sigourney Weaver, Jon Voight, Tim Blake Nelson, Eartha Kitt, Patricia Arquette, Dulé Hill, Rick Fox and Henry Winkler.I overall liked this movie but I think that it's not that fascinating and exiting that I thought (the book was better) it's a good try but you need more to impress me. I recommend this movie for a young public and for the family cause it's a funny film and is good for a little ''Cinema'' night in family. I give a 7/10 for this movie; it was great but not awesome.Aghiles 202
