Set in a world where superheroes are commonly known and accepted, young Will Stronghold, the son of the Commander and Jetstream, tries to find a balance between being a normal teenager and an extraordinary being.
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.

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

Harmless family comedy with welcomely loopy asides.

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.

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.
