a disney movie that dare to do something different should at least be award for effort . hole doesn not make the same mistake a one would expect from a disney movie about troubled teenager put in a camp . for the first time event be not explain in detail . the flashback scene really do serve a purpose and present several mature topic that may surprise the viewer . i must admit that at first i be a bit put off by the seriousness of the movie . but soon i realize that we have to endure those moment to see the beauty of the story . besides the story this movie also do a good job of question some method that be use in correctional facility . ( one example where caveman be forbidden to teach zero to read because they have to dig hole in order to build character and like learn to read would not contribute to that ) . hole be a movie that be smart and beautiful . a must watch .
