Holes- a great movie  

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 
DH, DD (age 9) and I saw this last weekend. What a great movie for school age (9+ I think) kids. DD had read the book, but DH and I had no idea what to expect and we enjoyed it a LOT. Anyone else see it?

My 11 and 8 year olds both read the book and loved it - we are seeing the movie tomorrow!

Cool, my niece told me the whole plot of the book a few years ago, but I never did find out what happened at the end.

My two older kids read the book last year (when they were 8 and 9) and are dying to see the movie. I'm glad this thread was started. I'd like to read the book before I take my kids to see it, but can anyone tell me if it would be inappropriate to take my 7 year old and 4 year old to the movie as well?

My kids, 12, 8 and 5, all went yesterday and all loved it! The older two had read the book but it was all new to the little guy. We thought he might be a bit freaked by the lizards, but he thought they were cool! I know a few others who have taken their 4-5 year olds and they all loved it too. Go and enjoy!

Yeah, yeah, I know this is old enough to have whiskers...

But, I wanted to add...I've got the soundtrack to this movie and the music is great!

I still haven't seen the movie. I bought the soundtrack when desperate for a couple of cd's to play in my computer at work to shut out the conversation of people around me while I got some stuff done. Had no clue what it would sound like, just noticed that Moby and Dr. John songs were on it. Thanks to this cd, I now know about Pepe Deluxe and Little Axe, too.

THanks for posting this. I read the book and loved it. I was wondering if the movie was any good.

My whole family loved this movie! My son read it before we saw it at the drive-in the summer it came out. It was a great cast too.

Good movie, even better book. 9 y.o. dd really got into to the details of the story in the book. The movie left out some important details, I thought, but that's the nature of movies. The cast was great!
