The New York Times - Dana Stevens
One of the few recent movies I have seen that plunged me into that rare, giddy state of pleasurable confusion, of not knowing what would happen next, which I associate with the reading and moviegoing experiences of my own childhood. But there is no reason that children should have a monopoly on this primal, wonderful experience.

USA Today - Claudia Puig
It's great to see an action-adventure family film with heart as well as humor, whimsy alongside wisdom, and a compelling narrative.

Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
Honoring the literary ground beneath it, spotted yellow lizards and all, the movie Holes is easy to dig.

Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan
It's got an involving, adventurous story to tell and the wherewithal to tell it correctly. And while young adults may think this is intended only for them, in truth it's their elders who are especially starved for this kind of entertainment.

L.A. Weekly - Chuck Wilson
Although parents of small children are advised to give the film an advance look, Holes may nudge older kids toward that most ancient of after-school distractions: reading.
