"Fun" to watch
Cons: Underused Big Names
Typical "Disney" Story
Relies too much on special effects

Pros: Different type of high school movie; Special effects; Social situations
Cons: Some flat characters; Predictable finish

Pros: it dies
Cons: Disney's plastic little world, with mediocre jokes, hamhanded acting and lame, lame writing.
Summary: Whether you like Sky High will depend on how much of the Disney Channel you get and how much more you can take. If your answer was "not enough" and "The sky is the limit," you're in luck. If it's just the opposite, boy are you about to be screwed! ...

Pros: ~ Hilarious cameos
~ Original plot
Cons: ~ May be too long for its own good
