| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 1, 2006

Carefully pitched to be watchable by the Breakfast Club generation and their young kids.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 11, 2006

While originality is hardly the film's strongest suit, its agreeable mix of knowing spoof and kid-pleasing fantasy makes it considerably more engaging than some of the 'straight' superhero blockbusters we've suffered recently.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 18, 2005

My 12-year-old self would have liked this movie a lot. The 25-year-old me likes it a bit more than he cares to admit.

Full Review | Aug 3, 2005

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.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 31, 2005

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

Full Review | Jul 29, 2005

Harmless family comedy with welcomely loopy asides.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 29, 2005

Funny, clever and even a bit inspirational, hinting at the potential for heroism in all of us.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 29, 2005

With a crisp and snappy visual style and its smartly paced story, Sky High pulls an incredible feat in an age of dumbed-down kids comedies; it's as down-to-earth as it is super.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 29, 2005

Sky High may set a record for ripping off more movies in just over an hour and a half than any other film in history.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 29, 2005

Takes camp to new levels of self-aware mediocrity.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 29, 2005

An engaging and surprisingly sharp allegory about high-school hierarchies and adolescent growing pains.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 29, 2005

A good-natured and witty mix of two modern film genres, Sky High is classic Disney filmmaking -- fanciful, family-friendly and, most importantly, fun.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Jul 29, 2005

Cheesy as it is, the family comedy Sky High doesn't even approximate the texture of Kraft plastic-wrapped singles.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 29, 2005

This is, indeed, another teen flick, a spotty, stodgily directed, though occasionally clever one, with several cardboard performances.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 29, 2005

High schoolers (who are shown chugging only soda pop at a supposedly rowdy party) will rule this movie lame, though early grade-schoolers might bite.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 29, 2005

Sky High hasn't a single original idea in its bird brain.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 29, 2005

Surprisingly fresh and entertaining.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 29, 2005

A clever, cotton-candy- light self-parody to the superhero genre that's both effective and refreshing.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 29, 2005

Director Mike Mitchell and his writing team have a lot of fun tweaking the conventions of the contemporary teen movie.
