This is one of those kids' comedies that few adults enjoy. Max Keeble (Alex D. Linz) already has problems with the Evil Ice Cream Man (Jamie Kennedy) when he begins the 7th grade at Curtis Junior High with his friends Megan (Zena Grey) and Robe (Josh Peck). At school he is soon roughed up by the school bully, has his lunch money stolen by another student, and runs afoul of the principal (Larry Miller). Then Max's parents tell him they must move to a distant city within a few days because of his father's job, and Max initiates a program to get back at all his tormentors, believing he won't be around to live with the consequences. This movie features food fights and people being covered in mud and melted ice cream.
