High on Sky High

I left the movie theater with that kind of euphoria I got from the original Matrix and the older Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.

My two boys were busily repeating their favorite lines.

I was wondering if I just saw my favorite movie of the year.

The recipe for Sky High's success? It was funny, adventurous, romantic, family-oriented, and extremely likeable. With clear-cut good guys and bad guys in a teenage-drama setting, it managed to be a fantasy film that was very human and not too cartoonish.

I loved it, my family loved it. Ranks up there with 13 Going On 30 and The Incredibles.
