 Critics also suggest that Sky High may be another typical mid-summer movie that no one's going to excited about. Mike Clark in USA Today describes it as "this harmless family comedy with welcomely loopy asides." Comments Stephen Holden in the New York Times: "This zippy Disney adventure-comedy, crammed with special effects, asks that age-old rhetorical question, 'Is there life after high school?,' and answers it with a cheerful 'Not really.'" Certainly, it's not a movie that critics can take seriously. Jami Bernard in the New York Daily News remarks that it "hasn't a single original idea in its bird brain. But it clowns around just enough while sitting in the dunce chair that after a while it's mildly amusing." And Bob Strauss in the Los Angeles Daily News concludes: "This is essentially an innocuous Disney gimmick movie, not entirely juvenile but still completely dependent on formula. Kurt Russell, at least, is funny in it." |
