ReelViews
From a pure entertainment perspective, it is arguably the most enjoyable motion picture of the season. Sky High is funny, smart, energetic, subversive, and has a few substantive things to say. - 80
The Hollywood Reporter
A likable mix of laughs and wacky action sequences. - 80
L.A. Weekly
Kurt Russell is adorably self-mocking as the cluelessly enthusiastic dad in his dorky superhero uniform, and even the spiffy effects lack self-importance. "The Incredibles" it ain't, but Sky High will do nicely. - 80
Variety
Smartly written and sprightly played, Sky High satisfies with a clever commingling of spoofy superheroics, school-daze hijinks, and family friendly coming-of-age. dramedydramedy. - 75
Charlotte Observer
A clever blend of the high school comedy and the superhero genre. - 70
Dallas Observer
The supporting cast is strong, featuring Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald, Bruce Campbell, Lynda Carter, and Cloris Leachman. - 70
The New York Times
This zippy Disney adventure-comedy, crammed with special effects, asks that age-old rhetorical question, "Is there life after high school?," and answers it with a cheerful "Not really." - 67
Entertainment Weekly
The flick is best in its bittier moments (watch for the stellar cameos), and there's nothing to trouble the tots.
