Most teenagers cringe at the thought of
meeting their parents' high expectations--good grades,
well-behaved friends, and a plan for the future--and
none more so than Will Stronghold (Michael Angarano),
the son of legendary superheroes Commander (Kurt
Russell) and Jetstream (Kelly Preston). This clever
Disney comedy follows Will from his first day as star
student at Sky High, an elite school for the children of
superheroes.
The only problem is that Will apparently has no special
powers, and he can't let his parents find out! Lacking
the abilities needed to attend hero classes, Will falls
in with the misfit sidekicks, whose only powers include
turning into a guinea pig, glowing, and melting.
However, when an old villain with a new power reappears
on the scene, the pressure is on Will and his sidekicks
to save his parents, his school, and the earth itself.
Perhaps as a tribute to the classic era of teen films,
SKY HIGH features a soundtrack bursting with 1980s hits
covered by contemporary artists, including Flashlight
Brown, Bowling for Soup, and Vitamin C. The film also
features performances that will please adult viewers,
including a cameo as the school principal by former
Wonder Woman Lynda Carter, comedian Dave Foley as a
washed up sidekick, and EVIL DEAD star Bruce Campbell as
Coach Boomer. Truly fun for all ages, the charming teen
stars, fast pace, and universal story make SKY HIGH a
clear family classic on par with SIXTEEN CANDLES, SPY
KIDS, and NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION!! |
