this movie be one i strongly recommend . it about a boy and stanley yelnats ( shia lebeouf ) who be wrongly convict of a crime and send to camp green lake and a boys detention center . there and he be force to dig hole 5 foot deep and 5 foot in diamiter . while there and he meet the other boy of the camp ( zero and magnet and armpit and squid and x ray and and zigzag ) . all of them be dig and not to build charactor and but to find outlaw kate barlow treasure . throughout the movie ( and book ) stanley learn more about the past and more about himself and and more about digging hole . i give this movie a 9 . 5 and because and i be very picky when it come to book to movie and ( i want the movie to follow the book exactly ) . but and still it do real well .
