Critic Reviews

James Berardinelli

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. Read full review

Empire Caroline Westbrook

As derivative as it all may be, it’s still superb entertainment. Read full review

Joe Leydon

Smartly written and sprightly played, Sky High satisfies with a clever commingling of spoofy superheroics, school-daze hijinks, and family friendly coming-of-age. dramedydramedy. Read full review

Matt Singer

Clunky and shamelessly transparent, but it's also charmingly earnest, and well designed for kids. Read full review

Wesley Morris

A squeaky clean, family-friendly comedy that merely sounds like an unreleased Cheech and Chong romp. Read full review

Sean Axmaker

More silly than funny. Read full review

Marc Savlov

It's inoffensive and sports a positive "be yourself" message that’s obvious enough to be seen from space without benefit of hero-vision, but really, there's very little that's super about it. Read full review

How can you give this movie LESS than a ten. It has all sorts of fun humor, exciting action and cool super powers.

Ten years after it's original debut, I am STILL playing with ALL of my friends as Sky High superheroes. I laughed so hard I had to pause the movie and take a 20 minute break, I came back with 34 of my friends (3 of which had to leave because they couldn't laugh any more.) I really enjoy their unique powers and the completely original bully aspect. Over all stellar movie and an instant classic, can't wait for the sequel!!1!!!!1… Expand

This movie was unexpectedly funny and entertaining. Despite the weird and cartoony effects, this movie still works. I had a lot of fun =)

A mix bag filled with so many laughs and then the random action scenes out of nowhere... and then Sky High enters Ground Low if neither laughs nor action is played out in the exact time it's supposed to come out.

As far as kids films go, this superhero kids flick is a blast with fun to spare for both kids as well as their parents. Loads of wit and humor make this film worth the time.
