Pros:
The green English countryside...
Cons:
Everything else.
I am usually given to long drawn out and reflective reviews of movies, but The Hole starting Thora Birch or American Dreams fame, and Keira Knightley (Bend it Like Beckham, Love Actually), isn t one of them.
The movie started out well enough, but it quick devolved into study of the utter mindlessness of the current crop of stereotypical teenagers gone bad movies. It s hard to believe this movie could garner any critical acclaim, but apparently it did. The only thing I found worth of mention is the overhead shot of the classical British private school in the opening minutes of the film.
Thora Birch is a great actress when she is given a vehicle that showcases her unique abilities. Though she was given star billing in this train wreck of a film, her star did not shine in this insipid piece of work. My advice: skip it!
