Would I be reviewing a kiddie film if I had not spent a great weekend with my two wonderful granddaughters? Of course not! But the girls (8 and 10) wore me out after trips to toy and ice cream stores, and by late afternoon it was film time. And what a fun film it was!
Made back in 2005, this truly imaginative, highly entertaining flick starred Kurt Russell and Kelly Preston...two big name stars! That's them in the background of the picture above. They are super heroes, fighting for truth, justice, and the American Way!
There's just one slight problem: They have a sweet young adolescent boy, age 14, who is just your average Joe. He likes girls, computers, and hangs out in his room. Will he or will he not develop super powers like his parents?
No biggie, you say?
Not to this family!
This boy HAS to follow in the family tradition!
Thus: TENSION! (OK, that's all I'll say, consistent with my no-spoiler manners!)
Well, the boy will PROBABLY develop his powers some day, so off he goes to the high school for super-powered kids...the one up in the sky! It's SKY HIGH, get it?
Haha! So much fun, so many smiles, as you watch this Disney delight! OK, Valerie, it's got some young folks' romance in it, but it's very innocent and definitely appropriate for kids of 14!
So if you want to escape our wonderful adult world (with all its heavy-duty concerns), go back and watch this very innocent, very captivating young person's film.
I won't tell if you don't have grandkids by your side!
I actually really love this movie! Call it a guilty pleasure. It's one of my favorite Saturday afternoons, TBS-on-in-the-background-while-I-paint movies. I don't know what makes me like it so much, maybe it's just so easy to watch!
ReplyDeleteHi Jenna...Yes, it's a fun flick, isn't it? Something sort of old world, maybe...a bit of superhero making fun of superhero stuff. Anyway, I'm really glad you enjoy it too. I plan to see it again...without grandkids!
