Holes (2003)

Nice effects though.

Awesome Movie

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

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 movie. It come out in 2003. It is a movie of Andrews Davis with Sigourney Weaver in the role of the warden. The storie happen in a camp for bad boys in Texas. Stanley Yelnats (Shia LaBoeuf) haves to dig some holes.He dig some holes to build character, but he isn't a bad boy. He is accusate fof a crime that a another boy at the camp do. But at a moment, Stanley and his friend Zero (Khleo Thomas) run aways of the camp in the desert. They will go up of the god thumb, a mountain where the great-grandfather of Stanley survive after he was robbed by a famous outlaw, Kissing Kate Barlow. And after,they will go back at the camp for dig up the treasure of Kate Barlow.I read the book of Louis Sachar (he is also a actor and the screenplayer) and I prefer it at the movie because the book give more details. They are also more story in the past with Mme Zeroni and the curse and Kate Barlow. But the movie give more details about the present and the other bad guys. This movie receive 3 award and it was nominated 9 times. This movie won the award of the location professional of the year, the productive company of the year and the award of the best family film. It was also nominated for Best Family Film - Live Action and Shia LaBeouf was nominated for many awards, like Best Performance in a Feature Film - Leading Young Actor or Breakthrough Male Performance thanks to this movieEwan Feminis 202

Holes is a 2003 adventure movie in Texas. The lenght of the movie is 117 minutes. The cast includes Shia LaBoeuf (Stanley), Sigourney Weaver (The Warden), Jon Voight(Mr.Sir), Tim Blake Nelson (Mr. Pendanski) and Khleo Thomas (Zero).Stanley Yelnats IV is arrested for stealing Clyde Livingston's shoes so he's sent to Camp Green Lake, a detention camp. At the camp, he meets Mr. Sir, Mr. Pendanski, The Warden and some boys who commit crimes too. Stanley have to dig holes all day for building characters but does it the real reason for why they're digging holes...The movie is very similar to the book even if they're not all the details from the book. When I read the book, I found that the story was a little bit complicated to understand but when I saw the movie, it was really easy to understand the story. That's why I prefer the movie. On the other hand, the characters are not like I imagine them. Example, Stanley is tall and heavy in the book, but in the movie, he's rather thin.Initially, Richard Kelly wrote the screenplay for the movie, but it was a dark and violent adaptation of the book, in a post-apocalyptic world. The studio reject it because it was too violent for a children's movie. Finally, Louis Sachar, the author of the book, wrote the screenplay.I really like the movie. The movie is very similar to the book but it's easier to understand. I recommend this movie for all the family except the young children because some scenes could be scary for them. I also recommend to read the book because the book is great too.Romane 202

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.
