After we finished watching Holes tonight, Finn announced that it is his favorite movie...even better than Star Wars.  He then pronounced the following hierarchy of quality motion pictures:

1. Holes
2. Star Wars
3. Milo and Otis
4. Up
5. Toy Story 2

Lisa and the boys have been reading Holes, and tonight they finished it.  We popped some popcorn and watched Holes (2003,PG) (ScreenIt! Review).  From ScreenIt!:

After being wrongly sentenced to a hard-labor camp where he and other boys are forced to dig a five-foot hole each day, a teenager tries to figure out what they're digging for as well as whether he and his family are still living under a generations-old curse.

It was the second time around for the adults, and we all enjoyed it.  Lisa commented about how closely the movie followed the book...as close as any book/film pair she's ever read/watched.

I give it 4 out of 5.
