[edit] Story

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Max Keeble (Alex D. Linz), a junior-high school boy who delivers newspapers, plays the bassoon in the school band, and fantasizes about being an action hero, finds out that he's moving. Although initially upset by the news, he realizes that this is his chance to get even with everyone who has wronged him, including the school bullies Troy McGinty (Noel Fisher) and Dobbs (Orlando Brown), an evil ice cream man (Jamie Kennedy), and the principal (Larry Miller), because when they try to retaliate, he won't be there. At the same time, he is trying to save the animal shelter across the street from his school which the principal wants to destroy in order to build a football stadium. The football team is notoriously bad and the principal's primary motive in wanting to build the stadium is to brown-nose to the superintendent (Clifton Davis), who was a football champion.

Although Max achieves the popularity and revenge he wanted, he upsets a lot of people in the process, including his best friend Megan (Zena Grey), who had secretly had a crush on him for a very long time. Even though everyone he took revenge on is furious with him, Max doesn't care because he's moving to Chicago. Then his parents tell him that they aren't moving after all because Max told his dad to take a stand to his boss; which his dad did and now he is opening his own business. Max is in trouble and now must fix what he has done.
