We turned this movie off within the first half hour. The kids are RUDE, CRUDE and obnoxious ... it's not even funny. And they're just starting sixth grade? Unbelievable. Also, despite there being no sex, there is blatant sexuality, which I feel sends inappropriate message to young children who have not yet learned about the birds and bees. The main character has the hots for an very tall older girl, who sticks her chest way out and wiggles over to him ... and we turned it off when a female science teacher, with her hips swaying seductively, slinks to the cabinet to get a bottle of pheremones, "nature's dating service," she says in a deep, sexy voice with cartoonish sexy music playing in the background. That's just a little too much for my kids, who are just starting fifth, fourth and third grades.

A Cute Kid's Flick, but Cute just Doesn't Cut It...
MAX KEEBLE'S BIG MOVE is fine for kids. The child actors are okay, and the principal is funny. Kids will love the food fights, juvenile behavior, and Home Alone-style booby traps. But I wasn't impressed. There's no sex. Violence is mild, with a few pratfalls into garbage cans and food-strewn cafeteria floors. Bullies are rampant in Max's school, but they aren't frightening or menacing. Language consists of some mild schoolyard names: "sucker", "loser", etc. The film carries age-old messages: know who your real friends are, apologize, and be a good friend. But that just doesn't cut it. I appreciate low content levels and good messages as much, if not more, than the next guy, but this just isn't the best movie ever. Fine for kids, but not that great for adults.

first of all, max likes a girl who is about two years older and is like the cn tower to him. second, there should be a positeve view of minoritys. dont ask me, but i have an IQ of over 200. third of all, rolemoddels, rolemoddels, rolemoddels, a short, rude tween who thinks he's such a hot shot and still gets into trouble. also, he adressed himself as a "playah" i mean, who would have a crush on him? he is a RETARD (no affence). o, did a get you? the only movie alex d linz did good in was home alone 3. wach drawn together or anime. or, wach a good movie. when i was waching it when it was relesed in canada (i'm from canada) i brought my gameboy. my YOUNGER brother looooves the movie. i detest it. when i saw it, the nexy day, at my grade 10 history class, i got pulverised and was made the laughing stalk. not the movie i would recomend for ages 8 and up. i found the movie boring, lame, and embarising because when i saw it, i was 8 and he was 12 yet short and dumb. jeeze. i was popular in grade seven. the second time i saw it, was this year. all i can say is i hate it, it got me unpopular! i had to sit with the freshmen and the geeks! MY FRIENDS TEASED ME ABOUT IT! jeez, they don't know about kids like us. he didin't tell his parents about it untill the last couple of minuts. he also drove an adult peace of machenery. and immatated, rudly, asian people and there form of speach. jeeze, i hate max keeble.

Acceptable
It was 'acceptable'. I watched it on Disney Channel last night. I am 12 yrs old, and it fits the 6yrs+ range. It didn't have any bathroom jokes or anything gross. So, overall, it was good.
