      Larry E Wonderful show. Entertaining and a good ending. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/24 Full Review Afreya K Excellent family movie. Wonderful message! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review Gorgo _ I thought it was meh, good story and characters tho Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Songer K "One time, there was a magical place where it never rained. The end." Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/24 Full Review Timothy D Holes is a fantastic story, but the way this story is delivered is almost painful. It reeks of 2000s Disney's exaggerated adolescent style and was hard to take seriously at times. This film had the potential to be so much better. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/24 Full Review Jameson S The film perfectly portrays its theme of Destiny. Entertaining throughout and a beautiful story.

      Empire Magazine Rated: 4/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Jamie Russell BBC.com Rated: 3/5 Oct 22, 2003 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Holes isn't just a movie to see, it's also one to be proud of. Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 19, 2003 Full Review Emma Clark-Dow Stuff.co.nz Holes was one of the defining shows of my childhood – and is still a really thought-provoking watch 15 years later. Jul 14, 2023 Full Review Cory Woodroof For the Win (USA Today) Holes still rocks all these years later. It’s thorny, emotionally resonant young adult storytelling with a good filmmaker behind the wheel and a deep cast. We really didn’t know how good we used to have it. May 20, 2023 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News Smart, funny and truly original, it's a film capable of entertaining its young target audience as well as the parents who come along for the ride. Rated: A- Nov 15, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
