About this movie

The award-winning bestseller comes to life in this phenomenally fun, adventure-filled movie starring Emmy Award-winner Shia LaBeouf. Dogged by bad luck stemming from an ancient family curse, young Stanley Yelnats (LaBeouf) is sent to Camp Green Lake, a very weird place that's not green and doesn't have a lake. Once there, he's thrown headlong into the adventure of his life when he and his colorful campmates -- Squid, Armpit, Zigzag, Magnet, X-Ray, and Zero -- must dig a hole a day to keep the warden at bay. But why? Through it all, Stanley and company must forge fast friendships as they try to unearth the mystery of what's really going on in the middle of nowhere. Filled with humor and heartwarming messages of friendship and teamwork, HOLES is a treasure everyone will dig.

Ratings and reviews

Honestly one of my favourite film adaptations! It's got enough detail from the book but not too much to make it longer than it needs to be. I watched it free on my TV when it was on. This is really good and helps you understand the book better! Definitely recommend.

We are reading the book as a class and my teacher told me not to watch the film but it was to addicting I love this movie so much it is one of my favorite movies ever!
