The adult characters are drawn with broad strokes, but the kids are pretty much like kids of a certain age really are — sweet underneath a tough posture and secretly befuddled. Take our main kid, Stanley Yelnats (Shia LaBeouf), for instance. Stanley is minding his own beeswax, walking down the side- walk, when a nifty pair of new sneakers lands on his head and knocks him to the ground. Stanley’s eccentric family believes him when he says he didn’t steal these special, celebrity baseball cleats that were intended for a fund- raiser for homeless kids. His grandfather (Nathan Davis), however, sees it as just one more example of the family curse. But the cops and the judge don’t buy Stanley’s story, and he is sent to Camp Green Lake, a detention center where escape isn’t a possibility. There’s no water for a hundred miles in any direction, just dust, desert and lizards. Once there was a town here, but when the lake dried up, the town died. The other boys who sleep in D Tent give Stanley a hard time at first, but they come around after he passes a few tests. Squid (Jake M. Smith), Armpit (Byron Cotton), X- Ray (Brenden Jefferson), Magnet (Miguel Castro) and ZigZag (Max Kasch) begin to in- formally include him, but they ignore Zero (Khleo Thomas). A small kid who doesn’t be- long in juvenile detention, Zero’s glad when he and Stanley become friends. The camp’s plan to build character is sim- ple: Every day the kids go out with shovels and dig holes. They’re given fresh water in the morning and again in the evening. In be- tween, they dig. Apparently no one has ever found anything special to show Mr. Sir (Jon Voight), the demented, rifle-carrying guard who scares the boys with tales of the resident lizards’ fatal bite. Mr. Sir reports to the un- hinged warden (Sigourney Weaver), who de- mands to know immediately if anything in- teresting turns up in the dry lakebed where the boys dig. Dr. Pendanski (Tim Blake Nelson), the youth counselor, runs hot and cold. The kids snicker behind his back. Solving the mystery, decoding the riddle and finding the treasure. On the surface, the story’s about a wrongly accused and imprisoned boy who finds the right way to behave in a variety of circumstances, and in so doing breaks the family curse. At another level, it’s a sad love story from the past and an example of how the past holds lessons for those who come later. It’s also about just desserts, karma and comeuppance on one hand and solving the mystery, decoding the riddle and finding the treasure on the other. This spunky, contempo fairy tale is a recasting of the hero’s journey, writ small for our time. To help the young actors accustom them- selves to the high winds, blowing dust and 100 degree temperature of the desert, stunt coordinator Alex Daniels ran a two-week boot camp. The guys got into physical shape through hikes, calisthenics and — yes, learn- ing to dig holes. No animals were harmed in the making of this movie, especially not any lizards. Larry Madrid of Animals Unlimited was in charge of turning the ferocious-looking but actually harmless Bearded Dragon lizards into fic- tionalized Texas Yellow-Spotted Lizards. Madrid and his crew painted on the lizards’ spots and cleaned them off at the end of the shoot. Holes is now playing at Cinema World and Cinemark. A not-icky movie that’s highly recommended for adults and kids, it’s one of the better films in town. Enjoy! ew
