Plot Synopsis
Storyline
It all begins when young Will Stronghold, the son of the two famous superheroes: Steve and Josie, A.K.A. the incredibly strong, seemingly invulnerable Commander and and the high-speed flying Jetstream. However, Will does not actually know if he has any powers of his own, and has not told his parents this. He and his best friend, Layla are facing their first day of a secret school in the clouds like none on earth: Sky High, the first and only high school for kids with super-human powers going through crime-fighting puberty. But with no apparent superpowers of his own, however, Will seems destined to grow up a mere sidekick. But as he discovers his true strengths, he'll also learn that it takes loyalty and teamwork to truly become a hero! Written by Anthony Pereyra {hypersonic91@yahoo.com}

Trivia
The role of Speed was intended to be for an exceptionally athletic boy, but when Will Harris auditioned, the casting director found him so like-able that the role was changed to accommodate his larger stature. See more »Goofs
Before Will goes to school, his dad warns him about showing off. He talks about other kids having "one" super parent while Will has "two." However, when he says "one" he holds up two fingers, and when he says "two" he holds up one finger. See more »Quotes

I got to go see Sky High at a free preview last night. When I saw the commercials, I wrote this movie off immediately. It looked like a strictly-for-kids, stupid-but-cute, teeny-bopper funfest. Blech!
I was pleasantly surprised! I love going into a movie like this with low expectations and being proved wrong. I am a hardcore comics fan ("weenie" I believe the earlier reviewer said) and I still found a lot to like here.
The movie has a better take on what a superhero world would actually be like than many "serious" movies. It was almost like a kids version of the "Astro City" comic book.
The jokes really made Sky High for me! I wont spoil any for you but I will point out that the cast included Bruce Campbell, Kevin McDonnell, Dave Foley and Lynda Carter!
If you're a comics fan, go see it! If you've got kids and want to have a fun evening, go see it!
I am kinda hoping that this becomes Disney's next live-action series.
