Summarize the following movie reviews:

1. The intention is a good one, but the blending of disparate ingredients under Andrew Davis' direction is often jarring.
2. The picture is all over the place -- sometimes a fairly stupid broad comedy, sometimes a rather threatening child-cruelty flick, sometimes tinged with magic realism.
3. The smartest, funniest kids' movie since Spy Kids.
4. ...a collection of would-be goofy moments.
5. You walk out of Holes wondering why more kids' movies aren't like this.
6. A movie that feels like it's constantly interrupting itself.
7. A substantive yarn that deals with racism, children not fitting in, and the importance of friendship.
8. A faithful and richly satisfying adaptation of Louis Sachar's novel.
9. Holes" is "Cool Hand Luke" and "The Shawshank Redemption" for kids.
10. Holes is a hoot from start to finish, one of the most deliciously imaginative children's films to hit the screen in many a moon.

Summary:
Faithful to its literary source, this is imaginative, intelligent family entertainment.
