One of the few recent movies I have seen that plunged me into that rare, giddy state of pleasurable confusion, of not knowing what would happen next, which I associate with the reading and moviegoing experiences of my own childhood. But there is no reason that children should have a monopoly on this primal, wonderful experience.

Frankly, I'm shocked that Disney, frequent purveyor of sleeping beauties and singing animated animals, is the studio behind this wonderfully black comedy/morality tale for children, but maybe Disney, too, saw past the material's deliciously macabre bent to find also a thrilling little essay on friendship, fate, and the restorative powers of onions.

This is genuinely a fantastic movie, and amazing considering that it's a Disney live action. Great acting from all the kids, amazing performances from the adults, a really gripping and fascinating plot.. awesome for all ages. I also recommend the book, it's a really great read.

Holes is a really good movie and good adaptation of the original novel. Shia LaBeouf does a good job as Stanley Yelnats and the rest of the cast is also very good.

I'm pretty leniant with movies when I rate. I give this an 8 because it wasn't a very traditional film of Disney. It was,however, a classical movie. I liked It very much. That warden is one badass girl.

Okay, okay... the book was a lot better. The movie is pretty weird in general, but the kids were pretty good in the film. It was like when I read the book, my imagination of it into a movie. Not the best movie out there, but meh...

Holes is holecellent. Only problem wrong is how the film progresses. It randomly changes its purpose of what Holes is supposed to be. Other than that, it's, once again, holecellent.

This is the worst movie EVER if you want to know what really happens you should read the book.
