(rated PG, approx. 90 mins.)
After a depressing first day of school, much-bullied seventh grader Max Keeble finds comfort in the fact that he’s moving in a new city/new school district in just a week. With nothing to lose, he decides in the meantime, to plan revenge on all the kids who have picked on him once too often. This is fine until the brakes are halted and he finds out the worst news for any adolescent. He’s not moving afterall. The best and funniest tweendom premise in years that perfectly hits the nail on the head of what peer pressure feels like in middle school, not to mention the perfect dose of comedy and principles. Alex D. Linz (Home Alone 3) is absolutely right on as the underdog, now-what kid. Not since the original “Home Alone” took America by storm, has there been a kid/parent stealer flick as this.
