Nell Minow Common Sense Media Slapstick humor and fun premise kids will love. Rated: 4/5 Dec 26, 2010 Full Review Marrit Ingman Austin Chronicle Rated: 1.5/5 Mar 10, 2003 Full Review Scott Von Doviak Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Parents may shift uneasily in their seats while their wee ones cheer on the food fights, crotch-kicking and dirty jockstrap gags. Oct 29, 2001 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 1.5/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...I did enjoy [Mr. Belding's] cameo, but that doesn't change the fact that watching the movie is akin to sitting inside a Chuck E. Cheese for an hour and a half. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 1, 2003 Full Review Jeffrey Westhoff Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL) The moral of Max Keeble's Big Move is that it's awfully easy to say the right thing after getting away with the wrong thing.

Max H Average. A passably okay way to waste an hour and a half. You can read my full review on my blog: https://maxholland93.blogspot.com/2024/08/max-keebles-big-move-2001-movie-review.html Also, subscribe to my YouTube channel (@Maxthemetalkid) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review Rosana B Bonitinho cheio de bullying, em justiça social e chega a ser até me revoltante, mas como todo filmezinho fofinho Disney tem aquela guinada fofa que amamos, uma vingancinha leve, mais como uma lição de moral, bem gostosinho de assistir, bobinho, bonitinho e legalzinho... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/03/22 Full Review Audience Member A total mess family film and one of the worst Disney family movie of all time. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/19/21 Full Review Carson H Maybe it's nostalgia but loved this movie as a kid and still love it to this day. I always wanted to be Max. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/05/21 Full Review Audience Member No cap I love this movie. Completely comedy gold. A smart kid, a comic relief principal, enjoyable brief scenes done amazingly by Reese from Malcolm in the Middle because he was in Malcom in the Middle, and a surprising appearance by Randy from Scream as the evil ice cream man. This is the movie that you will find entertaining Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review jordan m Had I known in advance how little there would be of interest to adults watching this movie I would've held off until my kid was home. I did appreciate seeing Peck in another movie as I'd seen roughly 700 films since the last time I'd seen him, but otherwise the movie was sorely lacking in star power, genuine laughs & believable plot. They likely should've just put this straight on the Disney Channel. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
