What critics compared Max Keeble's Big Move to
Part "Wonder Years," part "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" with a bit of "Recess: School's Out," "Animal House" and "My Bodyguard" thrown in for good measure, the film is rather unwieldy in concept and final execution, with director Tim Hill ("Muppets From Space") and novice screenwriters Jonathan Bernstein & Mark Blackwell & James Greer (all making their collective feature film writing debut) never quite pulling in the reins and/or deciding on a tone or style for the film.
Indeed, it is the bond between these two that helps the film stand out from the crowd of lesser, more stereotypical middle school-set pictures like 2001's " Max Keeble's Big Move ."
