[.ca] Max Keeble's Big Move (Full Screen)



From Amazon.com:
Max Keeble's junior high career is off to an inauspicious start: one bully chucks him in a dumpster, another tormenter takes his friends' money, the ice cream truck guy is after him, and the self-serving principal is after everyone who stands in the way of his budget-draining football field plans. But his family's sudden plans to relocate give him the moxie to stand up to his foes in a big way. This kid revenge fantasy results in gags like a squirrel in the principal's pants and a cafeteria-wide food fight. Of course, Max (Alex D. Linz) doesn't move, forcing him to take responsibility for his actions, or this wouldn't be a Disney film. The broad humor is clearly meant for preteens, but crude jokes, bullying, and sexual innuendo (thus the PG rating) make it inappropriate for younger kids, leaving it for the narrow age range of about 8 to 12. --Kimberly Heinrichs


Zany but fun:
Overall this was an entertaining movie; the story lagged a few times but was redeemed by moments of hilarity and action- the opening sequence is especially cool. Alex Linz single-handedly saves the movie with his suave but mischievous character; the supporting actors aren't too bad either ("Ice-Cream Man" and the principal of Max's school stand out). I would not recommend this movie for an older audience, neither a very young audience- preteens will probably love this flick, if my siblings are any indication. The filming, acting, and plot are hardly outstanding but are the norm for this genre of Disney movies. The movie's message may convey a sense that it's okay to cause damage to property in the name of "justice." Discretion on the parent's part would be advisable. It's nothing extremely serious, much the same thing kids would see on Saturday mornings. It really depends on your family and what you view as acceptable.


Max Keeble is extremely cool:
I wish Max Keeble was my father. He repersents all that is good & just in the world, and is the point of my obsession. However, the way they repersent the fat kid, I believe Robe was thy name, is perposturous and insulting towards my superior intelligence. He is constantly getting stuck ( Winnie The Pooh syndrome ), and the other kids generally avoid him. I think the incredible brain trust behind Max Keeble hate fatties. With that said, the rest of the movie was suprisingly realistic and my favorite scene is where the sk8er kid sk8s around the school, because sk8boarding is kewl. Why did they make the popular girl seem like such a jerk? IT WAS HER SEAT... The principal scared me a little bit, with his insane hi-jinks and all...The Saga Of Max Keeble makes me proud to be an American. Wear the red, white, and blue proud Max. Wear it proud.


If you're after that old Disney magic, look elsewhere.:
.... You don't have to be a brain surgeon to figure out what happens next. A movie that is loud, clumsy, empty-headed, totally unfunny, mean-spirited & full of moronic supporting characters; MAX KEEBLE will appeal only to the most simple-minded of children. Amazingly there are FOUR writers credited here! Their combined creative genius even sees the biggest cliche of high school movies trotted out yet again: that of the cafeteria food fight! Although it isn't a complete travesty, MAX KEEBLE'S BIG MOVE is a film that belongs in the lower ranks of Disney productions. One that parents will be reluctant to suffer through with their kids. A shame considering it's directed by Tim Hill, whose previous film was MUPPETS FROM SPACE, which I consider to be THE best Muppet movie ever. You'd be better off watching that instead, or even one of the old classic Disney movies. (Especially if it's got Stella Stevens in it, in which case Dads will definitely want to watch it). Uncle Walt would not be impressed. Bring back Donald Duck!


Hey thats really funny! Good job Disney!!:
Disney did it again, in a very funny way, didn't expect it to be, thought it would be another one of those pre-teen kidflicks but liked it very much, really. This one had its own twist of funny moments, a lot of it and most of all it is all very nicely done, gotta see it if like funny movies!


Great Kid's Movie:
If I had a dime for everytime we've watched this I'd be a trillionaire and it's still funny! Our Video tape of it went kaput so we bought the DVD! Great movie. They should make a sequel!
