Max Keeble Moves Up

Presented by Walt Disney Pictures, MAX KEEBLE'S BIG MOVE is a hilarious and action-packed comedy that will have your whole family laughing. When Max, a 12-year-old student who is constantly being bullied, learns that he is moving to a new city in just one week, he decides to take matters into his own hands and come up with clever schemes to set things right for himself and his friends. Amidst a week of chaos, filled with pranks, stunts, and the help of his friends, Max receives unexpected news - he's not moving after all! Now, transitioning from underdog to top dog means facing the consequences of his actions and creating new plans.

Director Tim Hill recalls that the most challenging scene in the film was the food fight. Despite concerns about safety on the slippery set, meticulous planning ensured a successful execution of the scene. Actor Larry Miller, who portrays Principal Jindraike, drew inspiration from Jeffrey Jones in FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF for his role, taking the character to new comedic heights.

The film crew faced another daunting task in coordinating an animal stampede with over 40 animals, including dogs, ponies, emus, cows, goats, sheep, pigs, and numerous birds. Max Keeble's journey through junior high school is filled with obstacles, from bullies to a manipulative principal intent on pushing through his football field plans. Max's bold stance against his foes leads to a series of outrageous pranks and a cafeteria food fight, culminating in a lesson about taking responsibility for one's actions.

While MAX KEEBLE'S BIG MOVE is tailored for preteens with its broad humor, parents should be aware of crude jokes, bullying, and sexual innuendos that contributed to the film's PG rating. Overall, the film is best suited for children between the ages of 8 and 12, offering a mix of laughter and life lessons. (463 words)
