As my English teacher informed my class we were watching 'Holes' I protested and said it would be boring...however, I was very wrong. At first 'Holes' was hard to get into but different parts made me want to carry on watching to see what would happen to Stanley Yelnats IV (Shia LaBeouf). The brilliant thing about Stanley was that when he arrived at Camp Greenlake he was weak and shy but when he left, Stanley was strong and confident. Shia's acting as ‘Stanley' was outstanding! The role really suited Shia as did ‘Zero' for Khleo Thomas. Both boys were amazing! Also, Sigourney Weaver as ‘The Warden' was different because I was expecting a male to act as ‘The Warden' and it surprised me that 'The Warden' was played by a female. The role of 'Mr Sir' (Played by the brilliant actor: Jon Voight) also made the film easy to watch as he brought some laughs to me and the rest of my class.
Overall, I'd give the film 8/10. 'Holes' deserves this rating because some members of my class say the film was a very good interpretation of the book and in my opinion it was a lovely, light film to watch. The one downside though was the lizards. They looked really fake, which ruined some parts but besides that, I thoroughly enjoyed 'Holes' and will definitely watch it again!
