This highly derivative superhero coming-of-age flick is moderately entertaining, family-friendly fluff.

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. Sep 18, 2005 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

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. 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. Jul 29, 2005 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Sky High is the latest Disney teen comedy about the pitfalls of adolescent life, but is much, much better than it seems like it should be in large part due to its strong cast and assured direction. Mar 30, 2011 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

Yeah, it's a film for the little ones, but there's plenty in here for everyone as a kid with famous parents must find his own way in the world of high school. Innocent fun.
Super Reviewer
For a children's film, 'Sky High' is superior than many mature superhero films made nowadays. Cool effects with a magnificent blend of CGI, well-excecuted action sequences add to what is a quality film.
Comparing to the Zoom that I watched yesterday, this was really good.
I didn't really think I'd like this film but it's one of my favourite films. It's underrated and really quite good. A must see!
