Max Keeble’s dad is being transferred to New York and Max has only one week left at his school. He decides to get revenge on the school bully, and the other school bully, and the principle, and the evil ice cream man before he is transferred away since he thinks they will never be able to find him afterwards since he’ll be gone forever after that. Max starts a food fight and gets the principal fired and tricks the evil ice cream man by stealing one of the other bully’s PDA and setting them up to meet in the junkyard and using a magnetic crane to lift up the ice cream truck and dump melted ice cream on them. Then they decide not to move and Max Keeble has to face up to his bullies and everyone who is mad at him. There is also a guy in giant frog costume that one of the bullies is scared of.

What is the film’s “message”?

Friendship is important. And you can’t hide from your problems and bullies. Plus, save the animals.
