A great movie! The acting was was really great. Also, some parts were funny. There's a little bit of romance, but not much. It's also a little violent, but never the less good. This really deserves an Aplus. The ending was... Full review

I couldn't keep from commenting after reading the very short "Not bad" commentary. This movie is much better than just not bad. The acting is stellar, even from the children in the cast, who don't play cute or anything else... Full review

We immediately warm to Stanley Yelnats IV (his first name is his surname backwards), who is brought to life by a wonderful new talent Shia LaBeouf. The film loses its grip at one point and it is a tad too long, but there's fun to be had in the melange of this unlikely group of incongruous characters. ... Full Review

Hollywood Report Card
Shot with just a taste of the tongue and cheek to flavor the fun and de-emphasize what could have been a serious drama, "Holes" is sure to be a hit with families. That rock solid story smoothes over the flaws (fills the holes) like a steamroller. ... Full Review

You know, people have the tendency to stereotype young people; to make them either bullies, or make them the bullied, or all they do is talk about getting laid, and you know, just say stupid things about girls, swear all the time. But in this arid environment, Stanleys friendship with the pint sized Zero (Khleo Thomas) blossoms and one day they get the chance to break out but the hostile terrain is its own prison. ...
