Trivia:

In Max's flashback towards how the Bullies were plaguing the school, there was a brief scene where Megan tells Dobbs that she keeps her money in a piggy bank that "looks just like [Dobbs]". This was left over from a deleted scene where Dobbs tries to get Megan to give him her lunch money, but then she refuses (by sarcastically telling him the above line), which then results in him stealing her clarinet from the locker as retaliation.

Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the beginning, during Max's dream when the Ice Cream Man shoots Tony Hawk with ice cream he says, "Look, a Tony Hawk sundae!", but his lips stopped moving before "sundae".

Quotes:

Principal Jindraike: CEASE!

Not A Great Movie, But Was Entertaining.

This movie had a lot of laughs for a younger audience, and was entertaining. The young actors including Alex D. Linz and Zena Grey weren't bad. The movie wasn't boring, and kept the story moving along rather well. This movie is a good one for around eight year olds- ten year olds, or maybe eleven. I give Max Keeble's Big Move a 7 out of 10. :)
