My son saw this when he was 7 and absolutely loves this movie. The laughter and super hero role models were an immense interest to him and remains one of his top 10 movies of all time!

What Parents Need to Know
About Sky High
Parents need to know that the film includes several scenes of knock-down, spectacular (but cartoonish) violence, where kids with superpowers slam each other into walls and through windows, or zap one another with freeze rays and fireballs. One particular kid is sulky, others are anxious, and several are bullies, dunking one child's head in a toilet, throwing someone's cap in the mud, tripping, harassing, and beating up smaller kids. At the beginning of the film, superparents save the city, while a TV announcers says, "Evil has struck our morning commute," which some sensitive viewers might want to discuss, in relation to the recent London underground attacks. There is some mild profanity.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the relationship between Will and his parents. Worried that he'll disappoint them, he deceives them concerning his lack of superpowers; once he gets these powers, the father deceives the mother about his punishment of the son for "nearly destroying" the school cafeteria. How do Will's lies to his parents and friends lead to confusion and regret? How does the film challenge the hero/sidekick dichotomy but reaffirm the hero/villain dichotomy? How does Will learn to appreciate loyalty over popularity?

"I don't know where I stand on this."
I had no concerns as well as no highlights. Will easily caved into peer pressure and then ran off to a party without his parents permission. Even though the movie is about a school, there was nothing educational about it, And just try to find a positive message in all this. I was not concerned about Swearing or violence because I knew that this movie was not brave enough to carry that out. not that they needed to. If you or your kids like it, good for you.

Great movie for tweens
My son watches this over and over. He loves it! The violence is very cartoonish. The message is that labeling a person as lesser is wrong and that everyone is of value.

Fun hero movie.
This is a fun, lighthearted spoof of the super-hero genre. Still, the final battle is nice.

OK SUPERHERO MOVIE
This is a ok movie from disney. It's like star wars, harry potter, narnia and other movies combined into one to make a disney superhero movie. I have seen Sky High so many times, 7. It is has a weird climate but it has a good message. It is a good moovie for families.

Fun and Action-packed Movie!
I really like this movie because it's funny and cool. I thought the different types of superheros were neat. I also liked that this movie was about how everyone can be a hero.

Fun Fun Fun
I think this movie is really cute. It is just really fun. Since it is about superheroes I didn't have issues with the fight scenes. In the end the heroes win and the villians lose. The dad had a big ego, but it's a movie, and was meant to be silly. My three year old loves it more than my 7 year old.

Good script, good cast!
This movie was so good! I thought it was a good mix of comedy, drama, and romance! I think that tweens will like this movie, but it might seem to predictable for teens. THUMBS UP!!!

Great fun for families.
My husband and I watched this first and really enjoyed it. When I got sick with the flu, I let the kids (boy 7, girl 4) come watch it with me so that I could rest. I had been worried about the fight scenes but my (very excitable) kids handled them well and we talked about how we could have handled it better. All in all we had a blast and the kids loved it. The only downside is that the dad is written very weak and kind of clueless, not a good picture of a role model dad.
