hero of

enthusiasms, but also full of
doubts (he wonders if he should be spending his
time trying to score
chicks). Has an adversarial
relationship with schoolmate
Magnus Buchan. Max imposes his enthusiasms onto others, falls in
unrequited love, gets expelled from school, suffers
unhappiness, then learns to accept
things and
people as they are. Played by
Jason Schwartzman.
