      Critics Consensus

      This highly derivative superhero coming-of-age flick is moderately entertaining, family-friendly fluff.

      Hargie M A decent superhero comedy from Disney. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review hailee M It's one of my all-time fav childhood movies, this movie is such a good family movie or just for the kids...I am now 21 years old growing up this was always my dream school in the sky superpower is amazing and a SCHOOL IN THE SKY. I loved Layla her plant power is so beauty and damn she is sexy lol. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Samuel S This is a really fun and charming film. There are moments of cringe, but the plot, the characters, and the message all add up to a really charming experience. Glad to have revisited this one after, more then 10 years!? Time flies. It really holds up just as well as I remembered, maybe even slightly better in appreciating different aspects. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/16/23 Full Review Jason V Heroooooooo sideeeeeekick Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/08/23 Full Review Jeffrey M Sky High was an amazing movie. I watched it much earlier and I liked it. Sky High was a very interesting super hero movie. Even though Sky High didn't have a pinch of humor, I still liked it. What a good movie. I give this a 70%. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/24 Full Review Marie K It's the kind of movie that seems like it's gonna be another "just watch for the nostalgia factor" cheeseball section of the Disney bucket, but surprised me at the funny and ironically solid plot. My grievances with this movie are very minor. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Empire Magazine Rated: 4/5 Apr 1, 2006 Full Review Steven D. Greydanus Decent Films Carefully pitched to be watchable by the Breakfast Club generation and their young kids. Rated: B- Feb 11, 2006 Full Review Neil Smith BBC.com While originality is hardly the film's strongest suit, its agreeable mix of knowing spoof and kid-pleasing fantasy makes it considerably more engaging than some of the 'straight' superhero blockbusters we've suffered recently. Rated: 3/5 Sep 18, 2005 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Sky High is a superhero comedy that is fun for both adults and children to enjoy. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 2, 2022 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News In a summer with few surprises, Sky High proves to be a buried treasure -- a clever take on the teen-high school genre. Nov 19, 2019 Full Review Mattie Lucas The Dispatch (Lexington, NC) A pretty harmless family comedy. Rated: 2/4 Jun 5, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
