Linz) who's mercilessly picked on by his school's bullies and by his principal (Larry Miller). When his parents (Nora Dunn and Robert Carradine) inform Max that they're moving at the end of the week, he takes the opportunity to exact several forms of creative revenge on his many tormenters. When it subsequently turns out that the Keebles aren't leaving town after all, little Max is left to the mercy of those he's just humiliated. Max Keeble's Big Move is the second feature film from Tim Hill, the nephew of famed director George Roy Hill (The Sting). ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Jane Horwitz, Washington Post
A welcome slice of pie in the face.
-
Pam Sitt, Seattle Times
The movie is nothing if not predictable.
-
Jan Stuart, Newsday
Exactly which children Disney hopes to captivate with Keeble's Big Movea little unclear.
-
Jonathan Foreman, New York Post
Bland, occasionally funny Disney comedy about a wayward seventh-grader.
-
Cody Clark, Mr. Showbiz
If there's no way to avoid seeing Keeble's Big Move, take along a book, ideally a hefty one. With the proper arm speed and angle of release, you can probably nail the projectionist.
