    Garish, squeal-pitched preteen comedy.

    This clunky juvenile comedy lurches among multiple story lines without fully realizing the comic potential of any.

  • Claudia Puig USA Today (Top Critic)
    The predominant feeling one gets is deja vu sitting through the mind-numbing 101 minutes.

    A welcome slice of pie in the face.

  • Bruce Westbrook Houston Chronicle (Top Critic)
    Children may enjoy its food fights, barf gags, slimy gross-outs, kid-power fantasies and adults' comic discomfiture, but there's not much here for anyone over 12.

  • Nancy Churnin Dallas Morning News (Top Critic)
    It's formulaic, long and more than a bit silly.

    You will imagine that this is not the kind of movie that holds me spellbound.

    A pleasant family film that will mildly amuse adults and please the kids who've outgrown Barney.

  • Joe Leydon Variety (Top Critic)
    This amusingly stylized comedy can be savored as a wholesomely sadistic treat.

    Bland, occasionally funny Disney comedy about a wayward seventh-grader.

  • Jay Boyar Orlando Sentinel (Top Critic)
    A very long sit for an adult.

    Reportedly eight years in development, Max Keeble's Big Move still feels slapped together.

  • Michael Rechtshaffen Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)
    Given the scarcity of kid-appropriate fare in the marketplace these days, the feeble Keeble will probably move more tickets than it ought to, but it will never be mistaken for a keeper.

    Slapstick humor and fun premise kids will love.

    ...I did enjoy [Mr. Belding's] cameo, but that doesn't change the fact that watching the movie is akin to sitting inside a Chuck E. Cheese for an hour and a half.

    The moral of Max Keeble's Big Move is that it's awfully easy to say the right thing after getting away with the wrong thing.

    Chances are that only kids will find the movie funny and entertaining.

  • Bruce Feld Film Journal International
    Bogged down with the current cliches of prepubescent comedy.

    Parents may shift uneasily in their seats while their wee ones cheer on the food fights, crotch-kicking and dirty jockstrap gags.

    A Disney Channel sitcom pilot that no one over 13 would ever want to watch.

    This movie is just for fun, and it fits the bill.

    Pretty light-hearted and, at times, quite funny.

  • Valerie Kuklenski Los Angeles Daily News
    Schoolyard bullying is a touchy issue these days, having been pinpointed as the root of many larger crises such as school shootings. Too bad Keeblesed the opportunity to teach kids something about it.

    Young kids may like it (others stay far away), but it is guaranteed that no audience member, young or old, will be able to relate to it.

    The movie is nothing if not predictable.
