Holes (2003)

(Latvia & Texas; turns of the 20th and 21st century's)
IMDb

Oddly involved Disney film is based on the 'beloved' children's book of the same title. Surprisingly good cast ranges from Henry Winkler to Sigourney Weaver. Lead LaBeouf is quite likable, Jon Voight seems to be having a good time. Plot concerns a dried up lake bed, family curse, kissing bandit, and corrupt boys reformatory. Quirky but not exactly my cup of tea, though it did grew on me while viewing. An early draft of its screenplay was written by Donnie Darko creator Richard Kelly.
