Talk:Holes (film)

message: I've never seen this film.  Came here to get a synopsis.  Current synopsis was way too abbreviated -- significant characters (i.e. Zero) are just named out of nowhere without any background.  Restored an old version of the synopsis.  If someone wants to abbreviate this, I'm fine with that, but the current abbreviation didn't adequately explain the film to someone unfamiliar with it (e.g. me as a sample reader). 65.79.153.121 (talk) 04:09, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

message: So, what genre should this be classified under in the lede? I don't necessarily agree with comedy because, while there are humorous moments in the film, it also gets pretty damn serious at times (such as Sam's murder, Mr. Sir's attack, Zero's discussion about what happened to his mom, etc.). I guess comedy-drama/adventure would be good enough, but I'd like some feedback. Dpm12 (talk) 07:25, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the Allmovie entry, the genres are "children's/family film" with escape film and teen movie as sub-genres. However, the BFI entry lists the genres as comedy and crime. I'll check on some more sources and add them here as I go along. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 23:49, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

message: An IP, , was repeatedly adding the Yelnats name to the Cast section despite the fact that we list only the credited names in the section. To avoid a potential edit war, I'm opening up a discussion here. Given that, what should we do about the credited names in the cast section?

replies: text: According to MOS:FILMCAST, . If the IP can provide reliable sources that show these are common names, then they can stay. —El Millo (talk) 15:55, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

message: To the best of my knowledge, "Sevillo" is not a last name. Mr. Sir's real surname could just as easily be Seville. Why does everyone think it's Sevillo? 198.252.228.2 (talk) 17:37, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
