Max Keeble's Big Move

Max Keeble starts his first day of middle school with high hopes, but quickly discovers that things are not as welcoming as he anticipated. He encounters the tyrannical principal, Elliot T. Jindrake, who immediately sets the tone for a challenging year ahead.

On his first day, Max also crosses paths with a trio of notorious bullies: Troy, Dobbs, and the nefarious Evil Ice Cream Man. Their intimidating presence serves as a harsh initiation into the realities of middle school life.

Max learns about the impending closure of a nearby animal shelter, a decision driven by Principal Jindrake's absurd plan to build an extravagant football stadium. This revelation sparks a desire within Max to take action and defend the shelter.

Max discovers from his father that the family is relocating to Chicago, illuminating an unexpected opportunity. He sees this move as a chance to get back at his bullies before he leaves town.

Gathering his friends Robe and Megan, Max formulates an elaborate plan filled with pranks aimed at making his bullies' lives miserable. This newfound camaraderie fuels their determination to stand up against their aggressors.

Max and his friends unleash their playful revenge, playing various pranks such as blasting music in Troy's ears and sabotaging Dobbs' gaming device. These antics set off a chain reaction of chaos that they find increasingly thrilling.

Deciding to take down Principal Jindrake, Max devises a plot that involves slipping animal pheromones into his breath spray. This bold move exemplifies Max's growing confidence as he combats his adversaries with creativity.

Max orchestrates a wild food fight in the cafeteria that surprises and astonishes Superintendent Bobby 'Crazy Legs' Knebworth. This moment of chaos marks a high point in Max’s prank campaign against the school's authority figures.

Amid his schemes, tension starts to rise with Robe and Megan, particularly when Max prioritizes a milkshake celebration with his crush Jenna over their farewell party. This choice leads to a confrontation that weighs heavily on Max's heart.

Max receives heartbreaking news when his father announces plans to start a new business, effectively derailing their move to Chicago. This revelation forces Max to reflect on the consequences of his actions on those around him.

In an intense showdown, Max rallies his classmates to confront Jindrake, Troy, and Dobbs. Their united front culminates in a victory as they successfully banish their foes to a dumpster, putting an end to Jindrake's reign of terror.

Jindrake's misdeeds come to light, resulting in him facing the consequences of his actions, including criminal charges for misusing school funds. Max's determination ultimately leads to accountability and justice for their school.

With the turmoil behind him, Max embraces a new beginning by riding his bicycle and delivering newspapers around the neighborhood. This peaceful phase signifies a moment of growth and maturity as he settles into a calmer routine.

Despite the newfound calm in Max's life, trouble lurks as the malevolent Evil Ice Cream Man resurfaces. This lingering threat sets the stage for another exhilarating confrontation that Max must prepare for.
