Movie reviews

The movie Holes  is an adaptation of the book by Louis Sachar. If you haven’t read it then it’s a shame, as the book has many separate stories and little comments  from many different times and places that all intertwine with one another, which makes the ending being resolved in the way it was all the more satisfying. 

The story follows a 13 year old boy named Stanley Yelnats who gets in trouble with the law because of a family curse. Rather than going to prison, he attends a correctional boot camp called Camp Green Lake in the remnants of a ghost town, where he makes friends and breaks the curse accidentally. 

I already mentioned that many small things contribute to the end of the curse, but that’s for the viewer to find out.  The actors had great performances and helped put a face to the characters. The settings were done phenomenally and make you perfectly understand the character’s environment. Therefore, on a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 7.
