It's a clever plot with a minimum of the already tired standard kids-on-computers sequence and a maximum of silly face-to-face deflation.

It's the pre-teen set who will revel in the adolescent angst and anarchic high jinks of Max Keeble.

I simply love this movie. I saw it so long ago and it's still the funniest movie I've seen in my life. Unlike most live-action films, it's stylish and colourful. A lot is simple but you watch Max perform and it's like you're watching him in real life because of its energy, which is mostly how it gets its laughs on it's own. It's not my favourite movie ever, but simply a must-see for young and old.

It is the kind of movie one enjoys more at 8, or even 12, than at 16 and up.

A shamelessly derivative, if basically likeable, kid's picture.

Garish, squeal-pitched preteen comedy.

This clunky juvenile comedy lurches among multiple story lines without fully realizing the comic potential of any.

The writers must have racked their brains for the formula: two parts other movies to one part childhood revenge fantasies

Max Keeble's Big Move is a pretty good kids movie that I enjoyed watching growing up. I always liked the energy of the movie and the fact that Josh Peck was in it.

Enjoyable for kids from ages 6-12, but almost everyone out of that age range will not find this movie to be that good. There's much better fare out there for kids anyway.

Max Keeble's 'Big' Move isn't really that big... it's just plain average... and not adventurous either. They tried to pull us a big move, but there's no big move found in this movie.

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.
