Review of Sky High

Sky High (2005)
7/10
Light campy fun for both kids and parents
30 July 2005
I took my kids to this movie expecting that I would not like it very much. In the end, I think I enjoyed it more than they did. It was light, campy, & tongue-in-cheek. There were some very funny performances by supporting cast members that made me laugh out loud.

Some reviewers have described it as "Breakfast Club" meets "The Incredibles". The theme of high-school misfits bonding was very reminiscent of John Hughes movies. The soundtrack contained covers of favorite hits from the 80's, so I think that is a very apt characterization.

I take my kids to lots of movies that they enjoy much more than I do, but with "Sky High" I walked out of the theater grinning.
