A terrific family comedy that delivers that rarest summer commodity: wit. Kurt Russell is his usual brilliant, underrated self. Check it out.

I was extremely suprised at how outstanding this movie was. I enjoyed it in spite of expecting it to be too much of a kid flick. It remained fun and didn't spend too much time on the battle.

I went to see this purely for the irony factor, but seriously, this was everything below average. Humor: Only saved by some mildly humorous bits by Kurt Russel Plot: That was such a horrible twist that it could make even M. Night Shyamalan cry. "Message": Wow. Congratulations Disney, preaching the idea of overcoming labels while including all of the stereotypical roles ever tailored for a summer film possible. Misunderstood wise/violent asian character? Check. Spunky goth girl? Check. Token Hippie? Check. Harsh and vapid cheerleader squad? Check. Cluelessly goofy father? Check. This movie's feel-good message is completely negated considering the means they use to convey it. I guess the best part was the aquabats poster in the hero's room. That made me giggle. Only time I laughed with any degreee of sincerity during the entire film. The New York Post actually sums it up quite well. "Like Harry Potter, only stupider!"… Expand

Sky High is an okay movie. It is VERY predictable, though, with a very... WEIRD plot twist.

A thourougly enjoyable movie that was fun and funny. The plot was simple and the super powers properly used. A good summer film. Would like to see a sequel to develop characrters

Though Disney is surely trying to take over the world one dollar at a time I have to hand it to them, they frequently hit the mark with good movies. Sky High is no exception and is about as solid of an 8 as you can get. Though I was concerned this movie was more for the kiddies than adults I was pleasantly surprised to find it catering to a full spectrum of ages. Among having good morals it was fun, and most importantly funny. Though I was not rolling out of my seat like in some movies it however was consistent and light hearted. I even liked the teenage love triangle sub plot. This movie didn't really have faults, but the acting could have been a smidgeon better than it was, and there could have a bit more depth, though I sure this is not what they were going for. All in all they accomplished what they set out to do. Make a campy movie that most people could enjoy. So please don't try to play super-critic with this one just relax and let it wash over you. And if your soul has not completely been tainted by cynicism then I guarantee you will come out of this movie with at least a smile on your face :)… Expand

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.

It's popcorn entertainment with some original ideas that suprised me. It does kind of have a power rangers feel to it at times, but it seems to do pull it off and not insult your intelligence (too much). Don't expect anything special and I think you'll smile at times. Cheap basic fun.

This film rocked. Great visyal style. Great acting.

Great family movie. Wonderful new talent. Way to go Kurt Russel! Way to go Disney!

This is a really fun movie for the whole family. My wife and I really liked it and so did our 4 year old daughter and 8 year old son.

I like this movie because it doesn't take itself seriously. Sky High is entertainement at it's best.

Most adorable movie of the year.

Thought this film was going to totally bore me...I couldn't have been more wrong. Very funny...well written...the best live action kids movie in years!

Quite funny. Remember the main actor from Will and Grace. A fun movie that has laughs and a lot of awsome special effects, but also more importantly, heart.

This Disney-produced spoof about a high school for budding young superheroes has to contend with two huge, Kryptonite-like obstacles from the outset. It's the third movie in less than a year to deal with a superfamily, what with this summer's Fantastic Four handling the concept competently and last fall's The Incredibles doing so brilliantly and definitively--so enough already, already. And it's directed by Mike Mitchell, who inflicted Surviving Christmas and the original Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo upon the undeserving world; if you feel as I do that there's nothing more painful to sit through than a bad comedy, then those two were the equivalent of Drano enemas. Well, Mitchell must have acquired some superpowers of his own recently, because Sky High is surprisingly witty, refreshing entertainment for kids AND adults...at least two-thirds of the way. Lots of funny bits ensue as the superschool divides its students into "heroes" (those with impressive powers) and "sidekicks" (those whose powers are either nonexistent or uncool). I especially liked the self-duplicating cheerleader squad and the girl who morphs at will into an animal considerably less awe-inspiring than a lion or eagle, and found Dave Foley (TV's NewsRadio) and Bruce Campbell (the Evil Dead movies, Bubba Ho-Tep) consistently amusing as, respectively, the headmaster of sidekick school and the coach. Unfortunately, the fun drains out in the final half-hour when the movie focuses increasingly on an Archie, Betty and Veronica adolescent triangle, and the really strange, eleventh-hour "what the hell were they THINKING?!?" twist not only seems desperate and tacked-on, but actually negates the "Sidekicks are People Too" theme that the movie seems to be shooting for. There's too much about Sky High to like to totally dismiss it, but it just doesn't hold up: what a shame that, as far as superpowers go, the film starts out soaring above the clouds but eventually opts for invisibility.… Expand

Yeah the movie was mediocre at best. Not what I would call a masterpiece but if your looking for a movie for the family, give this a try.

This is one of my favorite movies. Whenever it plays on disney channel, i make sure to watch it. Props to the amazing actors and actresses in the movie.

For a family-friendly comedy film, Sky High is surprisingly self-aware, often quite clever in its deconstruction of superhero mythos and packed with plenty of good jokes. The cast are great across the board - the youngsters Michael Angarano and Danielle Panabaker make likable protagonists and their characters Will Stronghold and Layla Williams actually develop over the course of the story, and the supporting cast all add something to the film. Kurt Russell and Kelly Preston look like they're having a lot of fun playing Will's super-powered parents (complete with tribute-to-Clark Kent spectacles as a disguise), Steven Strait is much better in this than he was in that colossal turkey The Covenant, and plays a pleasingly complex character, the solitary bad-boy Warren Peace, Mary Elizabeth Winstead is also good as the seemingly perfect Gwen Grayson and Bruce Campbell shouts a lot and wears some rather fetching gym shorts, which is awesome. The film works on multiple levels, as a tongue-in-cheek superhero parody, as a high-school rom-com and as a coming-of-age family drama. The finale may be a bit messy, and some of the effects a bit ropey, but that shouldn't ruin your enjoyment of this undeniably fun adventure for all ages.… Expand
