| eFilmCritic.comDavid CorneliusIt's the sort of kid's fare that parents love to get: genuinely smart, genuinely funny, genuinely fun all around. |
| San Antonio Express-NewsLarry RatliffBright colors contrast the usual superhero dark mode. That's a plus. But a script-by-committee turns Sky High into a John Hughes high school clone. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliFrom a pure entertainment perspective, it is arguably the most enjoyable motion picture of the season. Sky High is funny, smart, energetic, subversive, and has a few substantive things to say. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseDissatisfying to an adult audience accustomed to more sophisticated parody....will resonate with young viewers on their way to high school. |
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovConfident and strong, directed with enough of an edge to be interesting, written with heart and a genuine wit. |
| Newark Star-LedgerLisa RoseThe climax, which involves the homecoming dance and a death ray, is frenzied in its effort to entertain, yet ultimately underwhelming, much like the movie as a whole. |

| VarietyJoe LeydonSmartly written and sprightly played, Sky High satisfies with a clever commingling of spoofy superheroics, school-daze hijinks, and family friendly coming-of-age. dramedydramedy. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerThe script crackles with funny, quotable dialogue and the plot has a lot of fun with the usual teen movie staples. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesSilly and sweet, Sky High is a delightfully over-the-top kids' movie that is a good antidote for the typically pretentious super hero picture. |
