With wit and charm, 'Sky High' soars

Disney is in nice form with the brisk and affable 'tween comedy "Sky High," a spoofy, goofy superhero fantasy about a boy whose parents, the most famous superheroes in the world, expect their son to follow in their mighty cape billows. Bummer then that the son, 14-year-old Will Stronghold (a winning Michael Angarano), has no evident superpowers, leaving him just a nerdy kid entering Sky High, a high school for budding superheroes located on a massive floating platform way up in the clouds. You can see the knot of helpless confusion on Will's face as he is tormented by adolescence's twin terrors: parental pressure and teen angst. Read the full review

TO SUM UP
At a school for budding superheroes, Will, the son of Commander Stronghold and Jetstream, must balance being a normal teenager and an extraordinary being — and still find time to save everyone from an evil villain.
