After a depressing first day of school, much-bullied seventh grader Max Keeble finds out that he's moving to a new city in a week. Rather than put up with the normal routine of school, he starts getting revenge on all the people who have picked on him. After creating all kinds of mayhem, Max finds out he's not moving after all and must face up to the consequences of his actions.

Critics Consensus

Max Keeble may be fun for kids, but bland and unoriginal for adults.

Parents may shift uneasily in their seats while their wee ones cheer on the food fights, crotch-kicking and dirty jockstrap gags.

...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

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.

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)

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...

A total mess family film and one of the worst Disney family movie of all time.

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

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.
