Holes

CriticsCritics: 75
AudienceAudience: 7.2

Wrongly convicted of theft, a teenage boy is sent to a harsh desert detention camp where boys dig holes all day under the guise of character building. As he adjusts to camp life and forms an unexpected friendship, he starts uncovering mysteries tied to the site and his family’s past.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a family-friendly adventure blending humor, friendship, mystery, and heartfelt lessons; not for you if you dislike whimsical stories, flashbacks, or simplified book adaptations.
