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
