Patricia Arquette, who played Kissin’ Kate Barlow in the 2003 film adaptation of Louis Sachar’s book Holes, revealed in a recent interview that she struggled with horseback riding during filming due to her height, relying heavily on a stunt double for those scenes. Despite this challenge, Arquette enjoyed other aspects of her role, such as learning to use a bullwhip, and cherished the romantic storyline between her character and Dulé Hill’s Sam, particularly the memorable line "I can fix that."

Arquette expressed her enduring love for the Holes material and the impact it has had on young audiences, noting that many fans recognize her from the film, which remains a significant part of their lives. The movie, featuring a notable cast including Shia LaBeouf, Sigourney Weaver, and Jon Voight, was a box office success and continues to be accessible on Disney+. The story follows Stanley Yelnats, a boy sent to a detention camp where he uncovers truths about his past and forms strong friendships.
