the hole ironically name after it major weakness ( hole in the plot . ) seem to move from flash back to reality a little to frantically for me . some part seem rush and it could of do with more interaction within the hole itself . the acting be hit n miss and birch isn not great . and her accent tends to wander off to australia and south africa and back to her native country . although the rest of the cast seem competent . i be specially impress by kiera knightley a the slutty teen queen . this a refreshing film and an indication that school influence comdies or drama or thriller . can be effectively implement in england . the u. s bubble gum high school nausea be war thin in the state and these kind of film have find a fresh ground ( u. k ) in the hole . our cultural and class history doesn not have to be spell out like the jock and geek and stoner bland recycle crap that float to the surface regularlygood positive .
