summary:
"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." |
