Holes is a 2003 adventure, comedy and drama movie directed by Andrew Davis and produced by the Disney Company. This movie lasts 117 minutes. This is a movie were you have to have a parental guidance when you are little. The main characters are Stanley Yelnats played in to by Shia Leboeuf, who also played in to Transformers, Warden played in to by Sigourney Weaver an amazing actress and Zero played in to by Khleo Thomas who's now a singer. This movie occurs over a hundred years in a Texas desert, but the movie has been filmed in the mountain of California.

Stanley Yelnats a 14 years old boy who has bad luck because of a curse, is sent to Camp Green Lake, a detention camp, for a crime that he did not commit. Stanley and the other boys at the camp are forced to dig big holes every day to build character. Stanley will eventually understand that they aren't digging to build character; they are searching a specific thing. Who will Stanley meet and what will he find at CampGreen Lake?

The costumes of the movie were really realistic. If it would have been in real life, I really would have thought that they were in detention. The boys wore orange overalls with a white or black shirt underneath. The costumes were stained with brown because they were digging in the dirt and it gives them a criminal look.

The movie didn't bring to life the characters from the book. To be honest, the movie was a little bit boring compared to the book. In the book Stanley is a big guy and he is bullied at school. We didn't see that part in the movie and Stanley wasn't big at all. The fact they changed the character that much really bothers me because I didn't expect this.

I did not hate the film but I did not love it. Like I said there were some parts that were missing in the movie. I recommend this movie to people who love comedy and western movies. In general the actors were very good and there were some parts that were very interesting and because of these reasons I give to this movie a six out of ten.
