A young boy Shia LaBeouf who's been wrongly accused of stealing a pair of cleats belonging to a baseball super star is sent to a Texas reform camp run by a warden Sigourney Weaver who believes that boys will build character by digging five-feet deep holes in the desert.

But the desert holds many secrets, including a mystery involving lost love and treasure. Based on the popular novel. Directed by Andrew Davis. A young man admires a young woman a few times.

A female bandit kisses the people she kills we see lipstick marks on their cheeks. A man tries to force a woman to kiss him, she pushes him away and runs. A boy says he thinks about how a girl looks in a bikini.

A young woman wears tight-fitting, gauzy tops that reveal the outline of her breasts. A woman wears tight-fitting jeans and blouses that reveal cleavage throughout the movie. A woman's top falls partly open and her cleavage is exposed.

A woman wears a short top that exposes her bare midriff. A man has a towel wrapped around his waist we see his bare chest. We see boys in their underwear a few times and bare-chested in several scenes.

A woman shoots a man we see him with his head tipped backward. A woman grabs a lizard that bites her on the arm and we watch her die. The shoes belong to Livingston, a famous basketballer, who had donated them to a charity auction. Stanley is caught by the police and sent to Camp Green Lake, a detention centre for troubled youth. The story is quite complex and frequently travels back and forwards in time.

Green Lake was originally a thriving town with a large inland lake. The local white school teacher, Kate Barlow, fell in love with a black man, Sam, which was considered to be an unforgivable crime. The plot continues to weave and unfold and eventually it becomes clear why the boys are digging holes in the desert all day long.

Zero, whose real name is Hector, escapes from the camp and Stanley goes out to find him. Repeated exposure to violent content can reinforce the message that violence is an acceptable means of conflict resolution. Repeated exposure also increases the risks that children will become desensitised to the use of violence in real life or develop an exaggerated view about the prevalence and likelihood of violence in their own world.

Parent of a 9-year-old Written by Momof twins August 26, Dark movie with a hard edge but interesting twists for teens I watched this hesitantly with my 9 yr olds and was uncomfortable with the amount of violence for their age group. There were several parts where a woman shoots men with a gun. A scary part where the warden paints her fingernails with snake venom and threatens them, then scratches someone's face.

A woman intentionally kills herself, and a mob of angry people kill a black man. A lizard is shot with a gun. My son asked at one point are there going to be any more dead bodies after this? Whole feeling of film is dark but it does have some good messages about comradery and friendship and sticking up for other people.

They did say they liked it, though. Violence might be inappropriate for kids under 12 yrs. This title contains: Positive Messages. Positive role models. Helped me decide 1. Had useful details 1.

Yes there is an attempted sexual assault and a murder but they are IMPLIED not given graphic details about which gives you the opportunity to discuss these issues with your children which you should be doing in the years before they become teenagers.

Parent of a year-old Written by pelman May 14, This Movie is Full of Holes -- But in a Good Way This is an excellent family movie that is absurd, sometimes sad, and frequently hilarious.

It teaches kids the value of honesty and friendship. It also spins a complex yarn in ways that are fresh and clever. The acting and the cinematography are also great.
