Max Keeble's Big Move Reviews
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.
Maybe it's nostalgia but loved this movie as a kid and still love it to this day. I always wanted to be Max.
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
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.
An incoherent mess. It's clearly aimed at the kid audience so I won't hate on this too much, but even so it's a pretty sluggish watch. Alex D. Linz (Max) is alright, while a pre-'Drake & Josh' Josh Peck (Robe) appears, but everything else is lame. The concept is decent, though the execution is anything but. There's also an iffy love story in there, while the attempted message is a little blurred by the end. It feels like they created a funny short story and turned it into a feature length, without much thought. If you liked this, fair enough. For me, however, 'Max Keeble's Big Move' is awful.
This is a fun little family movie with surprisingly good writing, and a great premise of what people do with the idea of no consequences. While Max goes on a darkside quest for revenge in at least 4 different story arcs for quite a bit, it actually turns into a moral of doing the right thing in the face of consequence. My biggest problem is the "unrequited love next door" trope: another movie that tries to make think some basic is a relatable choice over an actually interesting person. Had a good time, have before, and will again. If you're okay with an "all ages" movie, it holds up well enough.
Disney's attempt at trying to copy Nick's formula of live action films around that period but failing with a thud.. They were so lazy here that they went out and got Josh Peck and Zena Grey who were the two main kid stars of Snow Day and put them in this and it didn't even help. Not like Snow Day was quality either. Thankfully along with Lenz and a few of the older actors make it watchable enough for a star but that's it. This movie tried so hard to be cool that period it came out; it got promoted EVERYWHERE; Snow Day was packed but this one was worse. And when it came out it thudded and that was that. This movie was just a mess. It was advertised as a Nerd's revenge kiddie film and it coulda worked there but instead they made it a wacky mess and it never recovered. Shoulda stayed with one plot thread and went with it. Three main kid leads deserved better. it was the all star kid pairing of that era and they botched it badly.
While occasionally funny, it's still full of the typical dumb pranks that only children under thirteen will find entertaining.
This movie is the tits everyone needs to see it. Moves were not a big deal until Max finally made this gargantuan one!!!
It was good stuff back in the day but its boring and won't have you coming back ever. All these child actors have grown up and became punks. Minus an extra star for that.
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.
The fact that Roger Ebert took the time to watch this movie is depressing. When you're a kid it's an alright movie. Then you watch it again 13 years later and realize how stupid it is.
