Quotes:

[waiting for Crazy Legs to arrive at the school]
Principal Jindraike: Come on, you idiot.
[instead, Crazy Legs has just arrived]
Principal Jindraike: He's coming! He's coming!
Principal Jindraike: [as he approaches the band] Straighten up, straighten up. Better. Ready? And...
Supt. Bobby 'Crazy Legs' Knebworth: [the band then begins playing while Jindraike gets excited to see Crazy Legs] Oh, at last! At last! The moment we've all been waiting for. Crazy Legs. You look fit.
Supt. Bobby 'Crazy Legs' Knebworth: Elliot. It's been too long.
Principal Jindraike: I agree completely. Slip me that biscuit. Ooh, that's a hot one. OK, smile!
[the photographers take a picture of Jindraike smiling while shaking hands with Crazy Legs]

Terrific

Max Keeble's Big Move was an excellent movie! I thought it was very funny and that even though some people cannot relate to him,it still appeals to all ages. At my movie theater when it first came out,it was really hard to get tickets. High school and middle schoolers were in line too. The movie and the school it was taken in,relate very much to my middle school here. I just don't know what else to say but that I loved it.
