Reelviews Initially, Sky High looked like it was going to be one of the summer's throw-away movies - a family comedy with suspicious similarities to last year's The Incredibles. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that not only is Sky High too good to be considered a mere "throw away," but, from a pure entertainment perspective, it is arguably the most enjoyable motion picture of the season. James Berardinelli

The Boston Globe "Sky High" is a squeaky clean, family-friendly comedy that merely sounds like an unreleased Cheech and Chong romp. Set at a high school for superheroes that literally floats in the sky, the movie sweetens the teen angst that's been known to break out like a case of acne in the best comic books. Wesley Morris

USA Today Sky High gets Kurt Russell back to his retro Disney roots, and he's still in good enough shape at age 54 to wear a supernatural hunk's cape. That is, when his character isn't — hold on — selling real estate. Mike Clark

San Francisco Chronicle But the film is so harmless, and the young actors try so hard, that it's difficult not to have some fun. Parents won't love "Sky High" like a Pixar film, but they'll appreciate the fact that there isn't a single flatulence joke, and when the superteens throw a party, nobody drinks alcohol or hooks up in the spare bedrooms. Peter Hartlaub
