Max Keeble

I took my 12-year-old son at his request to the movie. I would have to say he enjoyed it more than I. It is aimed at juvenile humor and while not bad it has few redeeming qualities. As many such files the kids are very smart and clever while all the adults are totally inept. I will say it did have a good and appropriate ending.

This movie was really funny. It is great for those kids who are just starting junior high. I just had one problem with it: it was sort of over the top. Everything, the story, the characters,and even the way some of the people represented their role. Alex kind of put too much effort in showing how he was feeling, so it ended up looking like he didn't really mean what he was saying. When Max says one of his lines, they sometimes sound like a speech. Oh, and there could have been a little more romance between Max and Megan. She really liked him, so they should have done more than just talk to each other, be friends and hold hands. Sure, they're only in 6th grade, but after all, they were twelve-year-olds. Disney movies sometimes show younger kids in romance, so there should have been a little more of that in this movie, too. But the rest was great. The bullies, the principal and the food1 fight!!!!!!!!! I know anyone will like this movie.

This movie had a lot of laughs for a younger audience, and was entertaining. The young actors including Alex D. Linz and Zena Grey weren't bad. The movie wasn't boring, and kept the story moving along rather well. This movie is a good one for around eight year olds- ten year olds, or maybe eleven. I give Max Keeble's Big Move a 7 out of 10. :)

First off I would like to say that this is a Disney movie. If your not catching my hint, it is for children. I think that it is a well written, light hearted and good humored movie. Stop comparing it to Braveheart!!!!!! It is intended for a younger audience.do you kids a favor and rent it, you will see it's well worth it. If it makes them happy, that means your happy, right?

Amusing for adults, a blast and a half for pre-puberty members of the family, Max Keeble is just good junior high fun.

Resiliently taking it all in stride, Max (and friends) absorb typical 6th grader abuse: the school yard bully, the angry principal, retaliatory ice cream man, and a looming move out of state. Each of these "villains" play rather cartoony. Larry Miller as always nails the dimwitted, egocentric, greedy, fumbling principal. (He's also very good in Princess Diaries.) Noel Fisher covers the leather jacket, wallet-chain-wearing bully role well too.

The triangle of friends, in contrast to the buffoony bad guys, hang closer to the kinds of kids we know (or used to be).

So when Max learns that his family will suddenly be moving to Chicago, he decides to return a few transgressions inflicted on himself and his friends. Ah, the sweet tingles of revenge ("Home Alone" style). "I don't just have a plan ... I have a planetarium!!!"

And so begins a three-day extravaganza for which the bumbling bad guys are just not ready. Eventually, Max gets more than his original bargain and finds himself teetering precariously on the brink of a friendless abyss.

"Any kid can make a mess. It takes man to clean it up."

Some somewhat stereotypical themes are peppered tastefully with carefully shot fun, good acting, and a strong sound track that accentuates the folly.

I simply love the scene where the school's sexy science teacher strolls across the classroom setting each Bunsen burner a light as she passes, simply because she is perceived to be the "hottest" teacher in the school.

Coincidentally, Alex D. Linz and Zena Grey (Max Keeble and best friend Megan) enjoyed my particular screening from the front row.As the credits rolled, they stood up and boogied to the soundtrack. A good time, take the kids.
