Review of Sky High

Sky High (2005)
3/10
Liked it better the first time... when it was a John Hughes film.

This movie is a total ripoff of Some Kind of Wonderful with superpowers tossed in and a stupid plot twist at the end. It's so Power Rangerish it made me want to change the channel even though I was playing it on a DVD player. There are a few jokes that work and a lot that don't. The CG effects are bad, the acting by most of the teens in horrendous, and the few cool lines are answered with cheesy lines by the supporting actors. Bruce Campell was great in his own cheesy way as usual but most of the other actors couldn't pull it off. It was nice to see Lynda Carter in film again but I think she could have picked something much better. The direction is horrible the script is a total ripoff and even the camera work is sub par. If you like to laugh at how horribly awful a movie can be then check it out. If you want to see a good movie check out the original "Some Kind of Wonderful" instead.
