Description:
The award-winning bestseller comes to life in this phenomenally fun, adventure-filled movie starring Emmy Award-winner Shia LaBeouf (Outstanding Performer In A Children's Series, Disney Channel's EVEN STEVENS, 2000). Dogged by bad luck stemming from an ancient family curse, young Stanley Yelnats (LaBeouf) is sent to Camp Green Lake, a very weird place that's not green and doesn't have a lake. Once there, he's thrown headlong into the adventure of his life when he and his colorful campmates -- Squid, Armpit, Zigzag, Magnet, X-Ray, and Zero -- must dig a hole a day to keep the warden at bay. But why? Through it all, Stanley and company must forge fast friendships as they try to unearth the mystery of what's really going on in the middle of nowhere. Filled with humor and heartwarming messages of friendship and teamwork, HOLES is a treasure everyone will dig.

Fans of author Louis Sachar's book Holes will be delighted with this scrupulously faithful adaptation. After being wrongly found guilty of stealing a pair of sneakers, Stanley Yelnats (Shia LaBeouf) gets sent to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile correctional facility in the bed of a long-gone dry Texas lake. There--under the watchful eye of overseer Mr. Sir (a zesty Jon Voight), sneakily mean therapist Dr. Pendanski (Tim Blake Nelson, O Brother Where Art Thou?), and the cool and cruel Warden (Sigourney Weaver)--Stanley and dozens of other delinquents are forced to dig an endless series of holes that the Warden hopes will lead her to a precious secret left behind by a long-dead female outlaw (Patricia Arquette). Sachar's book is beloved for its vivid characters and suspenseful plot; by sticking close to its source, Holes has become a dynamic, exciting, and surprisingly touching movie. --Bret Fetzer

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Holes
A klutzie boy deals with being falsely imprisoned in a boys camp setup in the desert. He learns how to deal with bullies and comes out ahead. He learns how to forgive and stand up for justice when it is necessary. There is a bit of bad language but for the most part this is a good movie.
Rating: - Good Book, Great Movie, Great Music
My son was in the sweet spot of the age group Disney targeted for this movie, and having read the book, he insisted this was a must-see, so my wife and son went to the see the movie in the theatre. When she was impressed by the movie, and read the book, I followed suit watching this DVD when it came out, and agreed.

Rating: - Worth the price
We bought the DVD of Holes for my son for Christmas. It is Now 8th January and he has watched it 12 times. He sings along with the tunes and knows the dialogue. He read the book with his Grade 5th class as a chapter book project and loved it. Gave him a love for reading that we have been trying to instill unsuccessfully up to this point. We owe this author a big thank you. The movie is well made. Ratings are Everyone, but some scenes and language really disturbing for little ones.

Rating: - Lovely Movie That Follows the Book Closely
I have really enjoyed watching this movie brought to us by Disney! When it first came to DVD I watched it like every week to get my fix of Holes! I just love the overall story behind Stanley Yelnats being sent to a camp with other misfits to dig holes, but as the movie progresses, you can't help to see that it is his ancient destiny that brings him to the camp along with the story of his great great grandfather! 5 stars for this movie seriously!
