    From a pure entertainment perspective, it is arguably the most enjoyable motion picture of the season. Sky High is funny, smart, energetic, subversive, and has a few substantive things to say.

    A slight but sure-footed, live-action comic fantasy.

    This limp, forgettable fluff is as preachy and heavy-handed as the "Goofus and Gallant" cartoons that a generation of children far less media-savvy than today's recognized as ham-fisted lessons in good behavior masquerading as funny strips.

    Sky high gets me high, with chuckles, smiles and giggles that tickle the bone. It's pure fun entertainment. Nothing more, nothing less. Think of it as a goofy comedy version of X-MEN. That's all there is to it.… Expand
