Holes - The Movie reviews by Year 8








Cast: Shia LeBouf, Jon Voight, Tim Blake Nelson, Sigourey Weaver, Khelo Thomas, Henry Winkler.

Holes is directed by Andrew Davies but was
written by Louis Sachar. The film was released in 2003.

The movie is about a boy who has a curse in his family, apparently because of his dirty-old-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather. The unlucky Stanley Yelnats VI is played by Shia LeBeouf. The film tells the story of a young boy who gets sentenced to 18 months at Camp Green Lake because he is charged with stealing a pair of Clive Livingston trainers but this green lake isn’t very green.

The inmates have to dig holes everyday 5 feet deep and five feet wide. Stanley meets lots of new friends and Stanley and Zero go on an adventure to see what is hidden at the top of God's Thumb. During his journey at Camp Green Lake Stanley discovers secrets and buried treasure and soon becomes known as Caveman. Holes is a brilliant Disney film and should be watched by everybody who loves films. You may think Holes isn’t your type but if you watch it you won’t regret it.

It is a brilliant film and is recommended to all age groups whether you're 5 or 99.
I rate this film with * * * * (4 stars)
