Max Keeble is a nice, quiet teenager, whose idea of "superhero-requiring" danger is braving the Evil Ice Cream Man who blames him for a health complaint from his mother, Lily. She spent six years on just the right interior and now hears from her husband, Don, a wimp whose "career" in commercial publicity still only has him wearing sly costumes, about a promotion requires the family to move to Chicago. Initially Max just hates giving up his two best friends, a fatso and a music-maniac, but when their former friend, Troy McGinty, picks on them with his new image as bully, Max realizes that leaving means he can't be punished after Friday and plans an orgy of revenge. His targets include the arrogant new principal, Elliot T. Jindrake, who spends the school budget on a new sports stadium to flatter the inspector, Superintendent Bobby "Crazy Legs" Knebworth, and even plants to tear down the animal shelter to build it. When it's all in motion, Don suddenly announces that he has taken Max's first advice and turned down the promotion.
Max Keeble's Big Move
Max Keeble, the victim of his 7th grade class, plots revenge when he learns that he's moving, but it backfires when he isn't after all.
