HOLE, THE Released: April 20, 2001 Young actress Thora Birch, fresh from her acclaim in the 1999 Best Picture Oscar winner "American Beauty", really slummed in a few piles of crap before "Ghost World" (2001) came along and "The Hole" is one of the stinkers. Four teenagers at a British private school secretly uncover and explore the depths of a sealed underground hole created decades ago as a possible bomb shelter. Sound exciting? It COULD have been. But it isn't. In fact, there's more wit and excitement on my penis on a humid day. It is a pile of doo-doo. Rent "Ghost World" instead... 102 Minutes Pathe Pictures/Studio Canal/Seville |
