Holes (2003)
Holes, directed by Andrew Davies, was released in 2003. Starring Shia la Bouf as the unlucky Stanley Yelnats IV, it tells the story of an unlucky family curse , all the men in Stanley's family carry this curse.
Stanley IV gets sent to Camp Green Lake to serve out his punishment for stealing a pair of expensive shoes from a homeless shelter. He is sentenced to dig holes in the hot sun but soon realises they are not digging to build character but to find something.
Along his journey he comes along a few new friends including Zero, Zigzag and Armpit. Zero helps him find his family treasure, without knowing it.
This film is aimed at the whole family although it is a Disney film it is appealing to all ages as this live action movie deals with all aspects of life including crime. It does leave some parts of the book out and personally I think that the book is better than the film but if you want a movie to watch I would recommend to a family and I would give it a rating of 3 stars .
