Holes - Holes review

The movie Holes is an adaptation of the book by the same name, written by Louis Sachar.

The movie protagonist is a young boy named Stanley Yelnats. (Get it, Yelnats is Stanley spelled backwards?)Anyway, he feels there is a curse on the men of his family because of his dirty rotten no good pig stealing great great grandfather.

The whole movie is zany and fun, and Sachar's story is masterfully woven.I can't think of another modern story which has so many twists and turns and ends so neatly.It really is pure genius.The young men that are the actors of this film are fantastic, and many have gone on to star in other popular films.

Although the film Holes is marketed for children, I think anyone who enjoys a good story would enjoy this DVD!
