Movie called "Sky High"

This one was better than what I expected. Watched it over the weekend, just thought it would be an "okay" movie, but wound up really enjoying it from start to finish!
Nice for a family night entertainment movie. And if you have been a Kurt Russell fan for a lifetime of Disney movies he has been in, you'll enjoy him in this one!
If you decide to get this one from the store or library, you won't be disappointed!

So what was "Sky High" about? Used to really like Kurt Russell in the Disney movies, then mostly knew him as Goldie's partner. Can't remember the last time I would have seen him in a new movie.

Plot Outline: Set in a world where superheroes are commonly known and accepted, young Will Stronghold, the son of the Commander and Jetstream, tries to find a balance between being a normal teenager and an extraordinary being.

Plot Synopsis: It all begins at a secret school in the clouds like none on earth: Sky High, the first and only high school for kids with super-human powers going through crime-fighting puberty. At Sky High, the student body throw flames with their footballs, study Villainy with their Chemistry and are divided into Heroes and Sidekicks instead of jocks and geeks. It's an out-of-this-world yet completely recognizable place where cool gadgetry, rampant bravery and awe-inspiring magical skills mix it up with parental battles, peer pressure and dating trouble--with explosively fun results. This year's class features some of the best, brightest and most powerfully gifted super-teens ever assembled. And then there's Will Stronghold. When you're the son of the world's most legendary super heroes, The Commander and Jetstream, people expect you to live up to the family name The problem is that Will is starting with no superpowers of his own and, worst of all, instead of joining the ranks of the Hero class, he finds himself relegated to being a Sidekick. Now he must somehow survive his freshman year while dealing with an overbearing gym coach, a bully with super speed and a dangerous rebel with a grudge (and the ability to shoot fire from his hands)--not to mention the usual angst, parental expectations and girl problems that accompany teenage life. But when an evil villain threatens his family, friends and the very sanctity of Sky High, Will must use his newfound superpowers to save the day and prove himself a Hero worthy of the family tradition.

We loved it. The girls and I went to see it at the theater and we have rented and watched it with DH.

And I know I am an old lady, but I thought the guy who played Warren Peace was just too cute.
