About
You’ll likely enjoy Sky High if you want a light, funny superhero coming-of-age story with high school energy and a feel-good tone; Not for you if you want a darker, more emotionally intense superhero movie, or if you prefer works like Kim Possible: So the Drama or Trolls instead.
Pros: fun superhero world; heartwarming teen story; strong supporting cast | Cons: lead feels forgettable; awkward teen dating; mixed feelings on effects
