“Max Keeble’s Big Move” is a typical kiddie movie; the film is sort-of fun for kids but it’s fairly dull for everyone else and when there are movies that appeal to both kids and adults, why would you bother to seek out something such as “Max Keeble’s Big Move”?

In “Max Keeble’s Big Move”, a young boy, named Max Keeble (Alex D. Linz “Home Alone 3”), finds out that he’s moving and sees this as an opportunity to get back at everybody ranging from the school bullies to Principal Jindraike (Larry Miller “10 Things I Hate About You”) without getting punished but it all backfires when it turns out Max isn’t moving at all.

Alex D. Linz is okay as Max. The kid isn’t unlikeable but he’s not likeable either. The bully kid is the type of bully only found in films because I don’t remember anybody ever putting another kid’s head down a toilet. The Principal is pretty dull too and that’s a real shame because Larry Miller seems to be putting in some effort but the script is really weak and you never feel like he’s true opponent of Max. The other kids are dull as well and so are the other adults.

“Max Keeble’s Big Move” features a few amusing moments here and there and I guess what Max actually does will be appealing to many kids but my problem is that it felt very clichéd and very unimaginative. Films such as “Max Keeble’s Big Move” are harmless fun for children and you can certainly do a lot worse but there’s nothing about it that pushes it into receiving my recommendation. I’m on the fence because I think kids will enjoy it but at the same time, I think a lot of adults will be very bored by it.
