Surprisingly incoherent and boring

I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

One of the more mediocre projects to come out of the Disney studios is Up Up And Away, a story about a normal kid who can't quite fit in with his family of superheroes. This same premise was put to better use in the film Sky High that starred Kurt Russell which was also for the Magic Kingdom.In fact even more to the point I saw this plot also used in Saved By The Bell where Zack uses subliminal advertising in a music tape to get his woman Kelly. Here the villain is science teacher Kevin Connolly who is getting the kids at his high school to commit crimes on his behalf.Robert Townsend and Alex Datcher are the parents of young Michael Pagan who if he's going to be a superhero should get his superpowers by puberty. He's got an older brother and a younger sister with same, talk about a competitive family.Sherman Hemsley is in the cast as the grandfather of the superhero clan, imagine George Jefferson with superpowers that have gone a bit rusty and you have the Hemsley character.It's really not worth wasting your time with.

This is by far the most lethargic Disney movie I have EVER seen! Nothing in this film seems to coincide with the story. There was one since (out of the seemly endless array of idiocy in this film) that strikes my thoughts moreover… When Jim/Bronze Eagle (Robert Townsend) and Judy/Warrior Woman (Alex Datcher) are watching the news over the Bank Robbery they saved, you can see their faces close up and hear the folks in the background talking capriciously, while at the same time both "superheros" were talking about why one another were "late." My question is, "didn't anyone hear those people?" at the same time while watching this, the character Bronze Eagle says, "Honey I think we need new head-shots the photographer called." Okay, "numbers are listed." There are so many moments in this film that make you wonder "how in the world did they get the founds to make it?" In the beginning of the movie, they wanted to show that "tinfoil" is their "super" weakness. They prattle on and on about how dangerous it is to be near it and to even touch it…yet in the beginning they are within two feet or even one foot away from it without any ominous happenings. Near the end of the film they appear to get perennially weaken by it (till someone intervenes, of course) at the LEAST 10 feet away.Don't watch this movie. Don't waste your time. Instead, why not water the glass. Believe me there is more "superness" out of watering the glass, hell why not even dress up for it… make it fun!

This movie was okay, but it could have been better. It was a little short in my opinion, didn't really have in depth detail about their families & friends, but other than that, this film is fun and worth watching. I liked the music in this, and the way that the surrounding was so comforting. It was very neat in many different ways. The only thing that was a little unbelievable is besides the fact that the father can fly, is that the kids don't really look like 8th graders. On this, they look like 6th graders. But you know like in some movies people are always older than they really look. I really think that they should make a sequel to this. It would make the first one twice as popular and it would be something else fun to watch. I give this a 10/10 even with all of those concerns that I have about it. I think everyone should see it!

If you want to see a lame and pathetic movie, watch up up and away. It has a predictable plot and a lame plot. Of course you know the kid's going to be normal. Also the way the kid gets the thieves busted To put it short watch something worth your time.
