I read Holes once. I've forgotten pretty much all of it, though. And I never saw the movie.
It wasn't a terrible movie, of course I was in my teens when it came out, and had already been a fan of the book.
It was back when Sleepy LaBeef was an enthusiastic young actor, with a certain likeable quirkiness.
He later became Shia LaBeouf, an ass HOLE.
