No, you dirty people. Not those holes 

Who else thinks this is quite an awesome film 

I watched it a couple of times when I was younger, and just rented it from LoveFilm to enjoy it again 

It's very commonly overlooked as a classic.

Hate it hate it hate it. Especially the book. Had to 'study' it in English ages ago.

Na, some kid gets blamed for stealing some trainers and is sent to a camp in the middle of the desert to dig holes.

What a storyline.

Nah. Shia Labeouf gets accused of nicking some trainers and has to dig some holes with a group of stereotypes for a bit. Sigorney Weaver is pretty hot as the warden though...

Am I the only one that didn't mind the book?

EDIT: Wahey for similar triple explanation of the film!

[hydra25]

Only read the book, Was alright, nothing special though.

Loved the film, loved the book. Never got round to reading the sequel though, might look it now you reminded me.

Spoiler

It is indeed an awesome film, the authors technique of Stanley Yelnats sirname being his first name in reverse does make me laugh, but I also find it quite touching and sad at times, especially the story of Sam, and his donkey Mary lou
