Sky High
I'm sure this would be a real delight for youngins' who, like myself, dreamed of growing up to be Spider-Man or Superman, or at least have X-Ray vision to see why exactly the girls at school had to go to the toilet in groups of no less than 7. Sky High doesn't really fall into the category of kid's-flicks-that-are-slightly-subversive-and-play-on-a-second-level-that-grown-ups-can-appreciate, but at least it isn't another fucking talking animal film.
Sky High is basically a slew of cute superhero jokes that come fast and thick, but it seems no one told the filmmakers that they were tapping the same vein that's already been well mined by The Incredibles , and to a lesser degree, Mystery Men . Not to say it is totally without its charm. Bruce Campbell as the meathead coach has a good scene to chomp on, and while Kurt Russell won't have you in hysterics, he at least appears to be in on the joke, and not just phoning it in.
Amidst all the superhero antics are all the high school clichés, showing that even with super-powers you aren't invulnerable to snobby cliques, judgement from peers, nerves about the upcoming school dance, unfair expectations from parents, etc., but the film completely loses the plot when the time comes to find one, descending to stupefying levels of stupidity as the bad guy's big master plan is revealed - she wants to turn all the superheroes back into babies. Muhahahahahah!!!!! I'm pretty sure even as a kid I would have thought that was dumb. And then I probably would have gone and jumped off my roof to see if I had gotten my powers yet.
