Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Sick Product of a Sick System

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

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.

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 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

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
