It never rains at Camp Green Lake, it hasn't for one hundred years. The secretive and mysterious Warden has each inmate spend every day digging one hole to "build character." But when an artifact from the famous "Kissin' Kate" Barlow is found in a hole, the Warden forces the boys to work double time leading Stanley to deduce they're digging because the Warden is looking for something. But what? And how is the mystery of Camp Green Lake connected to Stanley's family curse? "

A definite must-watch. This movie is based on a book by the same name. I really loved this movie.

The movie was great! I only read a bit of the book, and it said that Stanley was Yelnats backwards.

The book was really good, the movie was pretty different too from the book but that is normal for movies now-a-days. I loved zero in the movie he was probably my favorite character there because he rarely talked unless it was to Stanley

I love this book and movie!
Haha Heidi, yeah, I found that so awesome
Stanley Yelnats.
And the movie was pretty different, I loved the "Sploosh" part.
This movie is amaazzing!

I watched half of it and seem like a good movie. I think I shall finish it

I loved the movie and the book. I hope they make Small Steps (2nd book) into a movie too!
