The idea of a high school for superheroes will appeal to teens and preteens, who struggle powerlessly with petty authoritarians, bullying peers, and their own rampant hormones, and Sky High spotlights young Will Stronghold (Michael Angarano, Lords of Dogtown), the son of top-of-the-heap superheroic couple the Commander (Kurt Russell, Tango & Cash) and Josie Jetstream (Kelly Preston, View from the Top). Unfortunately, though he's about to be dropped into the midst of kids who can stretch, turn to living stone, or shoot fire, Will has yet to develop any powers at all--and may never develop them. His development anxieties (and some entertaining metaphors for high school social hierarchies) contrast with a bubbling plot by an old foe of the Commander's to destroy Sky High and all of superhero-dom. Sky High has a great supporting cast (including Bruce Campbell, Army of Darkness; Dave Foley, NewsRadio; Lynda Carter, Wonder Woman; and Cloris Leachman, Young Frankenstein) and a handful of funny, offhand bits, but the bulk of the movie is bland and obvious. Younger kids may not mind the clumsy action scenes, generic dialogue, and tacky production design, but even comic-book-loving teenagers will label Sky High bargain-basement. --Bret Fetzer
Product Description
A super adventure of heroic proportions, this crowd-pleasing hit from Walt Disney Pictures stars Hollywood favorites Kurt Russell and Kelly Preston! The son of legendary heroes Commander (Russell) and Jetstream (Preston), young Will Stronghold carries huge expectations as he enters a high-tech high school known for molding the heroes of tomorrow. With no apparent superpowers of his own, however, Will seems destined to grow up a mere sidekick. But as he discovers his true strengths, he'll also learn that it takes loyalty and teamwork to truly become a hero!

 Fun for kids! May 13, 2009
Rachel Cairns (Las Vegas, Nevada USA)
This movie is predictable but my young son likes it. This story is about super hero kids with special powers. It has some fun special effects and a positive message for young children. It is a safe movie for children and has some cute moments.
OK, OK, It's pretty fun May 10, 2009
Scott FS (Sacramento, CA United States)
Let's face it; this movie isn't one an adult is going to go see by themselves. They are going to sit through it with a kid. Sometimes, that can be pure torture.
Sky High is entertaining once you 'buy into' the premise. It makes sense and is 'logical' within its own conceit. And it's pretty fun to watch, too.
Yes, it's predictable, and no one is going to get massacred in the end. But the actors are good, they don't over act to the point of being campy.
I'd recommend this movie to a parent, an aunt, a grandparent who wants a family-friendly way to pass the time.

I had seen this movie before and sent it to my 8 year old niece. She fell in love with it and, according to my sister, has watched it a million times.
If Superman married Wonderwoman? And had a kid... February 18, 2009
R. Bagula (Lakeside, Ca United States)
A Dizzy movie I liked that sort of combines the high school cliques
type movie with comic book superheros.
We have an aging Superman type married to a Wonderwoman type and they have a kid who hasn't yet found his way.
The older social diva finds a way into the kid's life edging out his real friends?
If anyone tells you that your friends aren't your friends anymore,
watch out!
Sky High goes through the roof November 16, 2008

This movie is great for the whole family. Its better than Spiderman, Superman, and Batman. Albeit the main characters and super heroes are not as cute as the people that have played the lead in Batman (according to the general public, not me). It has action, comedy, romance, what more can you ask for?
