It all begins at a secret school in the clouds like none on earth: Sky High, the first and only high school for kids with super-human powers going through crime-fighting puberty. At Sky High, the student body throw flames with their footballs, study Villainy with their Chemistry and are divided into Heroes and Sidekicks instead of jocks and geeks. It's an out-of-this-world yet completely recognizable place where cool gadgetry, rampant bravery and awe-inspiring magical skills mix it up with parental battles, peer pressure and dating trouble--with explosively fun results. This year's class features some of the best, brightest and most powerfully gifted super-teens ever assembled. And then there's Will Stronghold. When you're the son of the world's most legendary super heroes, The Commander and Jetstream, people expect you to live up to the family name The problem is that Will is starting with no superpowers of his own and, worst of all, instead of joining the ranks of the Hero class, he finds himself relegated to being a Sidekick. Now he must somehow survive his freshman year while dealing with an overbearing gym coach, a bully with super speed and a dangerous rebel with a grudge (and the ability to shoot fire from his hands)--not to mention the usual angst, parental expectations and girl problems that accompany teenage life. But when an evil villain threatens his family, friends and the very sanctity of Sky High, Will must use his newfound superpowers to save the day and prove himself a Hero worthy of the family tradition.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FAMILY VIEWING !!! Esp for Tween age group. It was a total crack up - lots of laughs even for adults. Kurt Russell at his best - really made it - he was hilarious. One of my new fav's.

Great fun for the kids! Great special effects and fun, though somewhat predictable ending... The humorous bits made up for it! Linda Carter (aka Wonder Woman) looked STUNNING!!!!

A kids film that adults can actually enjoy rather than endure. Fantastic 80's soundtrack too.

Light, enjoyable entertainment. The kids enjoyed it enormously but it was a bit over done for the adults. Good for a laugh or for the children in your life.

Typical family Disney film - kids aged 6-9 enjoyed it a lot. Special effects could have been better and plot a bit lame, but overall a worthwhile weekend family DVD flick.

Good family fun - watch it with kids. Superheroes aren't very original anymore. It is still highly entertaining for the kids nevertheless.

Good tongue-in-cheek movie about superheroes. Kurt was great, Kelly looked hot and the kids looked like they had a lot of fun.

It's not the smartest comedy out there, and many of the special effects are a little second-rate, but the kids loved it and it was pleasant enough to watch - good fun for a couple of hours!
