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.
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.
This movie is the classic underdog wins the day. It says that you don't have to be in the "in" group to be a winner.
It is ok to be who you are and use your differences and those of your friends, to solve a problem. I think more teens need this type of encouragement.
We love this movie in our house. We have the DVD and we watch it whenever it's on TV. On a recent road trip, we even played a game where one person would say a line from the movie and the other people had to come up with the next line. The movie is funny for kids and adults. Just a cartoonish spoof on more violent super hero movies. We love it.
I saw this in the theatre with 4 kids, ages 6, 6, 8, 9. All enjoyed it thoroughly as did the 2 adults. It was cute, about living up to your parents expectations. Something all kids today deal with.
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!
O.K. 1 thing CSM forgot in the sex column. In the beginning Will's friend, Layla comes over for breakfast and to walk with him to Sky High when Will's mom says, "I can't believe you guys are going to High School already. It seems just yesterday you were swimming naked in a kiddie pool together."
Good movie for kids... teens won't like it as much as I did, but hey, nobody's the same and that's a good thing :)
No excessive violence, sexual content, or language whatsoever. It stays true to its rating as PG... for violence, which is limited to a couple of cartoonish fight scenes, e.g. fireball throwing in the cafeteria.
WOW! It was worse than I thought it was going to be.
I missed Tower Prep for this? I waited five years to see that movie and when I finally did... let's just say whenever somebody asks me about the graphics in a movie and they're bad, I'll say they're Sky High. Apparently since those past years graphics have improved like 10 times over. Either that or it was a low budget film. I'm going with the ladder. Believe me this movie is not worth your time.
It was an OK film. It's typical Disney, although it was a bit edgier (with the smoking, and there was plenty of violence). Tweens may like it, but others may find it cheesy.
