A wrongfully convicted boy is sent to a brutal desert detention camp where he joins the job of digging holes for some mysterious reason.
An excellent film suitable for all the family, which fans of the book will embrace and love. The movie follows the book in every possible way, and is perfectly cast. I find myself quoting the movie everywhere I go, with memorable characters and scenes. There are quite a few principle characters as the movie has three separate stories of different times that come together at the end, and you find yourself loving every one of them.
It is a movie of adventure, mystery and friendship and appeals to everyone who sees it. It is a beautiful tale of love and friendship that concludes in a brilliant twist. The main character Stanley Yelnats played by Shia Labeouf is so relatable to, as he is from a struggling family and struggles to find friends, which almost everyone has gone through at some part of their life. There are three stories in the movie that reveal themselves as the movie progresses and eventually all link together.
I recommend this movie to any age as it is not only suitable but would appeal to everyone. Directed, written and acted as I would have imagined when reading the book and they have managed to pull off making the movie of Holes brilliantly.
