Film Information
Originally, the script for Holes was infinitely darker, if you can imagine what an adaptation from Richard Kelly (Donnie Darko) looks like. But of course, Disney wanted to take the route of a faithful, PG adaptation of the novel, so they brought in its author Louis Sachar to take over the job.
Dogged by bad luck stemming from an ancient family curse, young Stanley Yelnats 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?
"I walked in expecting a movie for thirteensomethings, and walked out feeling challenged and satisfied." – Roger Ebert
