    Ok, mcgoogles, troy, dobbs, all those are cool, especially the relationship between mcgoogles and troy, but we're missing out on 2 people that kinda cracked me up, lil romeo and the evil ice cream man, ok, so romeo is basically invisible, but in roll call that was funny.

    I think is a great movie, true it was some what simple but i have to love it saying my two favorite actors are in it! The whole reason i actually watched it was only because of Justin berfield being in it. But from watching it i realised there are TWO hott guys in it, aka Noel fisher (troy Mcginty) if you want a real indept comedy then i defenitly say don't bother but if your a 13 year old girl like me who mainly watches things for good look'n guys and light fluffy humor, for sure a movie you'll love!

    Noel Fisher is hot! I think it is cool that Justin Berfield is in it too (he's hot too).

    OMG! Noel is so adorable and hott all in one film! I love him most in X-men Evolution as Toad. Isn't that ironic. He's afraid of a frog in the movie, but he plays one a year later!

    omg! this movie is soo good!!! u hav to be really old, or not hav a sense of humor AT ALL to not like this especially since it's disney! this movie was one of my favourites AND alex d. linz plays so awesome, and he should star in ALOT more movies, and i don't think just because YOU don't like it, that u should come in here and whine because between me and u I don't care and i really don't think lots of ppl would either or wanna hear u complaining about something! so if u have something bad to say get a quarter and phone some1 really DOES care!

    Mr. McGoogles was awesome! It was a great movie and very funny; it had my family room filled with laughter.

    The movie was average to say the least. kids from 6-11 would enjoy it. And to be honest, there were some ok moments but not enought to convince me that this film is good.

  1. A movie like this depends on clever bits and incidents, but there's little invention here to disguise the film's formulaic nature.
  2. While some of Max's pranks are exhilarating and funny -- the movie takes too long setting things up and, once the pranks are over, dawdles to its inevitable conclusion.
  3. This clunky juvenile comedy lurches among multiple story lines without fully realizing the comic potential of any.
