Sky High

The teen son (Michael Angarano) of two superheroes begins his first year at a hero-training high school in this Frankenstein’s mishmash of other, better kids’ films. The movie might as well split its poster into thirds, with one panel devoted to Spy Kids,
another to The Incredibles and the third to any one of the Harry Potter films. It avoids
originality as if it were an infectious disease. With Kurt Russell and Kelly Preston grinning and bearing it as the parents.
