I
don’t always love movies for young
people, but I lowered my expectations
and was surprised and delighted to enjoy
every bit of this movie. 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!
