One film you would love to dig up - By: ???????, 11 Jun 2008 
This is a brilliant film suitable for kids familys & adults.
I read the book first then saw the film. I am currently reading the book 'smalll steps' which is a brilliant conclusion.
Louis Sachar is one of America's best writers I hope to read alll of her novels.
good stuff - By: b.lops, 29 Feb 2008 Didn't know what to expect which was probably a blessing as on paper I wouldn't have chosen it. Watched it with my 7 year old & was surprised that he followed the story as I thought it was quite complicated for someone of that age. Just goes to show what I know & that children are capable of more than we adults give them credit for! He enjoyed it so much that he watched it again the following day & the day after that! It came out of it's case again at Christmas for a group of boys & everyone of them loved it. From an adult perspective I thought it was great, not your predictable children's fodder that you can have a nap half way through & not miss anything. This is a clever, well acted film particularly for boys.

unplayable format - By: U. M. M. Riches, 15 Sep 2007 
WE CAN ONLY PLAY THE DVDS ON THE COMPUTER BUT 19'' SO THAT IS OK. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM BEFORE THIS RENTED DVD! THE PLAYER DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS FORMAT! MY COMPUTER IS 3 YRS OLD. WE TRIED REAL PLAYER, WINDOWS MEDIA AND POWER DVD. HAVE CANCELLED MY TRIAL AFTER THE FIRST DVD, HOW DISAPPOINTING!
Good but no cigar - By: zivi browning, 23 Jul 2007 
I liked the film on it`s own, as it is quite well made except for some of the crew appesring in some shots, & reverse sceens. It`s good on it`s own, but after reading holes I had mixed feelings. Indeed it is very very similar in storyline, which is one of the things I gnjoyed most about it, But the charecters contrast like black & white: In the book, for example, the main charectar [Stanley] is said to be fat. In the movie he is lanky, & so on! Still, a very enjoyable one for the kiddies!
