While "Max Keeble's Big Move" wasn't as good as Disney's summer flick, "The Princess Diaries", It does provied 9o minuites of good, clean entertainment for children, and a few laughs for the adults as well. On his first day of middle school, Max Keeble is targeted by the school bully, gets on the unintelligent principle's bad side, and is chased by an evil ice cream man. When his parents decide to move to Chicago, Max decides to take revenge and whin the heart of the schools cutest girl. Everyone can relate to this movie wether you are a boy, girl, bully, or the one people pick on. Do your family a favor and treat them to "Max Keeble's Big Move"!

Max Keeble (Alex D. Linz) is a misunderstood kid who's been picked on and bullied nearly his entire life. When his parents tell him they are moving, Max decides to stand up for himself and eventually changes the way the school looks at him. 'Max Keeble's Big Move' will be a very entertaining movie for kids and adults...a harmless Disney movie that will help people (especially kids) get their minds off of September 11th. It's a heartwarming comedy. It's Disney, of course, so it'll probably have a predictable plot, but it's still worth viewing. The acting by the entire cast is solid, and the plot is actually pretty good, too. It will be a very enjoyable movie and it'll be a smash hit with the kids - I can already gaurantee it! So if you've got kids, then take them to see 'Max Keeble's Big Move'. Heck, even if you don't have kids you should still go see it. It looks like great fun!

My whole family saw this movie and we all loved it, so I never understood why it was a box office bomb! Maybee it's because everyone compared it to "The Princess Diaries" wich was in theaters 2 months before "Max". It perfectly portrays public middle school! It's Max's first day of Junior High School and has plans to make this year better than last. But upon arrival, he finds he is the target of the school bully, teachers are mean, and the girl of his dreams dosen't even know he's alive. But when his dad says they're moving, he seeks revenge on them all, including the evil ice cream man! His skeems to get back at everyone are hilarious! And it gets even better when he finds out he's not moving! There are even cameo's by the child rapper, Little Romeo, and pop sensation, Myra, who's hit "Miracles Happen" was featured in "The Princess Diaries"! Your whole family will love it!

Having been in grade school a few years back, I remember the bullies and life as a short, thin kid... Max Keeble had my revenge! :)

"Max Keeble's Big Move" enjoys the ingenuity of "Home Alone" for creating masterful pranks, though not as slap-stick. Not quite in the "Ferris Bueller" category, but appropriate for grade school kids.

The message delivered will please parents, and remind them of how hard being in school can be. When Max comes to grips with his mistakes, he takes responsibility. And he discovers that friendship is a great foundation for love.

You won't need Dolby for this one. And if it turns out you see it in a second-run theater or rent it, you'll do fine. But be sure to invite a bunch of kids who will hoot and holler through the gags.

I fully recommend "Max Keeble's Big Move."

The movie was cute. Max has a LOT of trouble with bullies at school and his father is having a parallel situation with his boss at work but they both eventually prevail by becoming courageous.

I read alot of bad reveiws when this movie was just released but Im glad I diden't pay to much attention to them.I went and saw this movie with these little kids(7 and 9yr olds)I babysit.I wasent expecting much out of it considering it was aimed for the pre-teens.But as I was watching it I noticed how much I could relate to the charaters.I guess becuase it reminded me of Junior High that I left just 3 years ago.Max the short kid who wants his 7th grade year to be where he can finally be cool.His first day is a nightmare he gets,chased by the "evil ice cream man", beat up by Troy McGinty(my favorite character)a punk type bully who writes names of his victims on his shirt daily,Dobbs a 12year old stock broker steals Max's lunch money(I found one of the funniest charaters),and the wannabe superintentant principal keeps a grudge against Max becuase he distrupted the school assembly.When Max finds out he's moving Max plans to get back at all the people that pushed him and his friends around.I think all the actors did a belivable job-esspeacilly Alex D.Linz who plays Max.His acting did remind me of Fred Savage of the Wonder Years for some reason-his movements or his voice or somthing.But he is a great young actor.And it is a HUGE step up from that movie that should have never been made "Home Alone 3".This is not your adverage Disney movie(even if it is a little predictable)-In fact it reminded me a tad of that old Nickelodeon show Pete and Pete.I dont know who I would recomend this too.Im 17 and I love this movie to peices.I relized there is alot of comparison to the Princess Diaries and Max Keeble but there about differant things.Princess Diaries wasent as nearly as funny or entertaining as this.All and all I think you should let your pre-teens see this movie at least once.

I have heard of movies get rated for language, humor, sexuality, and nuity. But before this movie, I have never heard of a movie getting rated for some bullying. And that is one of the reasons why Max Keeble's Big Move got rated PG. The other is Crude Humor. It is about a boy starting junior high school. As the movie opens, Max Keeble (Alex D. Linz) is starting junior high school. And Max also delievers the papers when he is not in school. His Dad (Robert Carradine) sometimes has to wear customs to work. And the first time we see him in the movie, he wears a lobster custom. His best friends are Meagn (Zena Grey) and Robert (Josh Peck), but is nickname is Robe. But some bad news happens, first the near by animal shelter is being closed down, to make way from the junior high school's football stadium. The Princpal (Larry Miller) is closing down the shelter. His family has to move to Chicago. And also, the evil ice cream man (Jaime Kenndy) is after him. So Max decides to get revenge on the bullies. Including the student bullies, Troy McGinty (Noel Fishen) and Dobbs (Orlando Brown). McGinty hates McGoggles the frog, and wears shirts with the names of his victims. And Dobbs was once a millonaire, but has gone broke. And now steals the other students lucnch money, and even chargers to use the bathrooms. This is a great movie to watch with the family, even on a rainy night/afternoon/morning. If you love comedy movies, this is one you have to watch. And if you don't like comdy movies, then please don't bother to view this film.

This is only avalible in full screen. Its lack of a proper aspect ratio. Disney is totally ignorant in this issue. When disney decides to release this in its in 1.85 anamorphic widescreen then I will buy it.

Max is such a funny little movie.He finds out he is leaving town and decides to take revenge on his bullies b4 he goes,only to discover he is not leaving after all.Grab this video along with Harriet the Spy,which reminds me of it somehow.

VERY WELL DONE. ESPECIALLY GOOD TALENT OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE. I HAVE GIVEN A
DVD TO TWO YOUND FRIENDS. BELLE, 3RD GRADE AND RILEY SECOND GRADE. THEY CONTINUALLY LAUGHTED THROUGHOUT THE WATCHING.
