Movie Description
Most teenagers cringe at the thought of meeting their parents' high expectations--good grades, well-behaved friends, and a plan for the future--and none more so than Will Stronghold (Michael Angarano), the son of legendary superheroes Commander (Kurt Russell) and Jetstream (Kelly Preston). This clever Disney comedy follows Will from his first day as star student at Sky High, an elite school for the children of superheroes. The only problem is that Will apparently has no special powers, and he can't let his parents find out! Lacking the abilities needed to attend hero classes, Will falls in with the misfit sidekicks, whose only powers include turning into a guinea pig, glowing, and melting. However, when an old villain with a new power reappears on the scene, the pressure is on Will and his sidekicks to save his parents, his school, and the earth itself.


Perhaps as a tribute to the classic era of teen films, SKY HIGH features a soundtrack bursting with 1980s hits covered by contemporary artists, including Flashlight Brown, Bowling for Soup, and Vitamin C. The film also features performances that will please adult viewers, including a cameo as the school principal by former Wonder Woman Lynda Carter, comedian Dave Foley as a washed up sidekick, and EVIL DEAD star Bruce Campbell as Coach Boomer. Truly fun for all ages, the charming teen stars, fast pace, and universal story make SKY HIGH a clear family classic on par with SIXTEEN CANDLES, SPY KIDS, and NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION.

Editorial Reviews
"The flick is best in its bittier moments, and there's nothing to trouble the tots."
Entertainment Weekly - Scott Brown (08/05/2005)

"The live action and computer animation are so thoroughly interwoven that you can easily lose track of what is what."
New York Times - Stephen Holden (07/29/2005)

"[A] family comedy with welcomely loopy asides....It's clever to take the standard 'cool' and 'nerd' high school subcultures and transform them into 'heroes' and their 'sidekicks.'"
USA Today - Mike Clark (07/29/2005)

      Good Family Viewing For A Superhero Movie!
    Review created: 07/02/07
    5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

    All right, this is another Superhero movie... seems to be a lot of them lately as everyone wants to get into the craze!

    However this one is watchable for family viewing, as not all of them are!

    This film has an ordinary teenager finding out he's not so ordinary after all!

    The boy finds out that his high school, Sky High, is a special learning facility for the children of superheroes!

    He finds out that his father is actually super-hero Captain Stronghold (Kurt Russell), and his mom is superheroine Josie Jetstream (Kelly Preston)!

    The usual teenage angst comes into the movie, with fitting in or not fitting in, and finding out that the superheroes' kids have skills classes and are segregated by their skill levels.... somewhat like in European high schools!

    Sky High also features Lynda Carter who will always be remembered as Wonder Woman!!
