| Max Keeble's Big Move | comment |
It's Max Keeble's first day of junior high, and things are going badly. Over the course of the day, he is accosted by not one, not two, not three, but four separate bullies: an evil Ice Cream man, thuggish brute Troy McGinty, entrepreneurial lunch-money thief Dobbs, and the malevolent (and stupid) school principal, Elliot Jindrake, who wants to pave over an animal shelter so he can build a football stadium. To top it all off, when Max gets home, his dad announces that his Mean Boss has assigned him a new post in Chicago: By the end of the week, the family has to move.Max is depressed at first but quickly realizes that with no fear of retribution, he can exact revenge on the bullies. He and his best friends Robe (a chubby kid who always wears a robe) and Megan organize a series of zany plots to give the bullies what's coming to them. Of course, this being the movies, things don't go exactly as planned, and Max eventually has to fix what he's broken and stand up to his oppressors once and for all.A live action Disney flick from 2001, directed by Tim Hill (who went on to make the CGI Alvin and the Chipmunks) and co-written by Jonathan Bernstein (who went on to write the novel Hottie). The characters and plot are very predictable, but it's got some witty lines and great performances, especially from its young actors and Larry Miller, who serve up several slices of Large Ham. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Max Keeble's Big Move / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: When accepting Jenna's invitation to a milkshake party at a local diner (under the promise of one, eventually to nine, milkshakes), he is being cheered on by various other students when downing his ninth shake in a very similar manner to a binge drinking contest for a Wild Teen Party. Also, both during and after McGinty is terrorized by "MacGoogles" in a blacked-out and shut in gym, his reaction is almost similar to a rape victim. | |

Calling Card | |
| Max Keeble's Big Move / int_1cd602ef | comment |
Calling Card: One of the bullies, Troy McGinty, shows everyone who he intends to bully for the day by wearing a coat, to which he promptly unzips to show a shirt with the victim of the day's name that is written in such a way to resemble a word carved into the body. Max Keeble, when getting back at McGinty, even does a variation of McGinty's modus operandi that has a spraypaint streak across his shirt with his name in white letter that he displays to the school before enacting revenge against him. | |

Ironic Echo: Sort of. "I was just running away from my problems, and that's not courage. That ex-courage." Also, when Megan tells Jenna to leave after Max turned down her invitation, she says to Jenna the exact same thing that Jenna herself told her when they first met when dismissing her from the chair: "Shoo-Shoo." Of course, Jenna reacts with indifference. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: The Evil Ice Cream Man may intend to either kill Max Keeble or at the very least maim him in retribution for discovering a cockroach in his ice cream that presumably got him in deep trouble with the health administration, yet even he objects to someone like Dobbs stealing students' money, especially if they are potential customers. | |

Butt-Monkey: Really, you have to feel sorry for that uptight teacher who gets pelted with chocolate pudding and knocked into a garbage bin during the "food fight" scene. Then again, given the fact that she had Max write a 2,000 word essay (and eventually have 12,000) due on Friday just because he was late and dripping (which he couldn't even help due to Troy McGinty putting him through a swirly.), and simply let Dobbs steal Max's lunch money and get away with it, she kind of deserved it. | |

They seemed more passionate about their jobs than anything instead of bullying (i.e. they were excited about covering the Food Fight), and the only incriminating thing they did was take photos of Max being manhandled by Troy... and try to write an article about traumatized Troy. But besides their yearbook gig, they also serve as informants to Worried Kid by warning him about the bullies he should be aware of to get the plot moving. | |

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Big brute of a bully Troy is terrified of a Barney-like children's TV show named MacGoogles the Highland Frog (The trauma was made even worse when Mr. Keeble tries to reveal that he's actually MacGoogles, not because of it's an adult playing the role, but because he actually thought that MacGoogles ate Mr. Keeble). He eventually manages to get over it, after the school nurse attempts to help him eliminate the psychological trauma of the event. | |

The Trouble with Tickets: The Evil Ice Cream Man ends up being pulled over by a policeman while chasing down Max Keeble for speeding and presumably attempted manslaughter. The Evil Ice Cream Man then tries to get out of the situation by bribing the Policeman with a Snow-Doodle. Going by what happens immediately thereafter, the Policeman didn't accept the bribe. | |

Kids Are Cruel: Max decides to Pay Evil unto Evil and become a Bully Hunter once he thinks there will be no consequences for his actions. Even with that in mind, the kids do things like cause a massive mess and embezzle from their teachers. | |

Russian Guy Suffers Most | |
| Max Keeble's Big Move / int_6ada388a | comment |
Russian Guy Suffers Most: Inverted: A student named "Vladimir" (which is a Russian name, which implies Russian descent) was intended to be one of the victims to Troy McGinty's bullying routine; he had his name written on his shirt in a way similar to a gash. But unlike Max or Robe, the other on-screen victims, Vladimir ran off before McGinty could get the chance to deal the pain. | |

Last Day to Live: The first two acts of the film is this, albeit a Lighter and Softer version. Max is moving away at the end of the week, and thus believes he has free reign to do whatever he wants to his school. The last third of the movie is cleaning up the mess Max made when it's revealed his family isn't moving after all, and he has to start Crossing the Burnt Bridge. | |

Almost Kiss: During his dream, Max meets up with Jenna and hands her her paper. She asks what took him so long, implying they may be a couple in the dream. After Max replies that he stopped for ice cream, Jenna leans towards him, puckering her lips to kiss him. They are interrupted by the Ice Cream who shoots a ball of ice cream at Jenna, causing Max to wake up from his dream. | |

Trapped in Containment: McGinty, when picking Robe as the second kid to bully in the school year, places Robe in a glass case (presumably some sort of trophy case). Made even worse due to the fact that Robe is severely claustrophobic, and just as Max Keeble is alerting the students about his condition after freeing him, he throws up from the trauma (the contents apparently being a chili omelette, given Robe's comment shortly after hurling). | |

It's also implied that he had been attending the school already where this was Max's first year. The foreign football players are apparently young enough to be students, though they look more like they're in their 20s, one of them even has a beard. | |

Deconstruction | |

Deconstruction: Of the Bully Hunter. Once he realizes there would seemingly be no consequences, Max goes on a spree of chaos throughout the school to get back at Troy McGinty, Dobbs, and Jindrake. However, Max soon learns that the consequences will instead target other things close to him like his friends or a local animal shelter he frequents. The bullies aren't forced into a Took a Level in Kindness and simply get furious as soon as they figure out who was behind their misfortunes. | |

Didn't Think This Through: The biggest flaw in Max's revenge schemes against his bullies is that he never considered that, since they can't get revenge on him (having supposedly moved away and all), they might lash out against his friends (or in the case of Jindrake, the entire school) instead. Also, nothing he did actually stopped Jindrake's scheme to destroy the animal shelter. | |

Unhand Them, Villain!: At the end of the movie, the three giant exchange students offer to throw the school bullies in a dumpster. After Max insists "If you bully them, you will be just like them!", he tells them to let the bullies go, which, of course, they do — and let them fall into the dumpster themselves. Also, just as Principal Jindrake is about to run his big bulldozer over a poor defenseless animal, Max jumps in front of it and says: "Not today, Jindrake. That's far enough." | |

Villainous Breakdown: Dobbs utterly goes to pieces when his PDA is stolen. He has it easy compared to McGinty when he was trapped in a Gym with its power cut with MacGoogles. The guy was in such a massive emotional and mental wreck that he was huddled in a corner quivering while in a fetal position, barely even able to speak, and was also implied to be in dire need of psychological counseling in a manner similar to having to deal with PTSD. | |

Karma Houdini: The Yearbook guys, given the fact that they were guilty of as much bullying as Troy McGinty and Dobbs were since their primary use of their journalism skills was to essentially take pictures of the students in embarrassing or traumatizing situations (and even make innocent pictures seem a lot worse with their choice of titles, i.e. "How's this: 'Sheep arrive for slaughter'" on the very first day of school), and unlike Troy, Dobbs, Jindrake, or even the Evil Ice Cream Man, they still haven't received their comeuppance by the end of the movie. They seemed more passionate about their jobs than anything instead of bullying (i.e. they were excited about covering the Food Fight), and the only incriminating thing they did was take photos of Max being manhandled by Troy... and try to write an article about traumatized Troy. But besides their yearbook gig, they also serve as informants to Worried Kid by warning him about the bullies he should be aware of to get the plot moving. | |

Bully Hunter | |
| Max Keeble's Big Move / int_ac12cde1 | comment |
Bully Hunter: Max spends the movie getting back at Dobbs, Troy, and Jindrake. It's deconstructed since it only angers the people he bullied, and since he was supposedly moving away, he made his two best friends (and the rest of the school by extension) targets of the former two, and caused Jindrake's Revenge by Proxy. After speaking with the janitor, he realizes all he did was hit and run rather than deal with the people who bullied him constructively. | |

Too Dumb to Live: The ending where Jindrake ends up drawing all of the animals to himself when attempting to destroy the Animal shelter by using his breath spray. Jindrake, you'd think that by now you'd at least put two-and-two together in regards to the connections between the animals reacting and you using the spray, since it has occurred at least twice before (three times before if one counts a deleted scene where, shortly after Jindrake does a breath spray during his tour of the school for the Superintendent, a dog escapes from a woman's car and proceeds to attack his pants leg.) | |

Let's You and Him Fight: Part of Max's revenge on Dobbs and the Ice Cream Man consisted of stealing something important to both of them, and then giving the stolen item to the opposite party, and arranging a meeting. Both Dobbs and the Ice Cream Man are arrogant and domineering in their own ways, so Max knew that the two of them would only make things worse for themselves. All in all, a fairly clever Batman Gambit. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |

Reasonable Authority Figure: Superintendent Knebworth seems to legitimately care about the kids learning and well-being, expressing shock that Jindrake, when revealing his plans in regards to building the football stadium, admitted that he actually cut back on "unimportant" things such as fire extinguishers and milk. It is also subtly implied that he doesn't actually like Jindrake or think he is a good candidate as a successor for the role of superintendent, but has to put up with him, anyways. | |

| Max Keeble's Big Move / int_fb3576b2 | comment |
The Dog Bites Back: The movie is filled with this towards the bullies: McGinty and Dobbs meet this sort of thing from Max Keeble, and later from the entire student body. Likewise, it is also strongly implied that the teachers and staff, as soon as they learned the truth about Jindrake's embezzlement of the school's funds, proceeded to fight back against him, including locking him up in the Janitor's closet for a while (and presumably letting Max escape from it). Also, the teacher who let Dobbs steal Max's money and punished Max for something Max had absolutely no control over ended up being one of the few targets during the food fight to actually have a unified front against her. | |
