Product Description:
Jack Shepard a.k.a. 'Zoom' is an out-of-shape auto shop owner, far removed from the man who once protected the world's freedom. Reluctantly called back into action by the government, Jack is charged with turning a rag tag group of kids with special powers into a new generation of superheroes to save the world from certain destruction. Based on Jason Lethcoe's popular graphic novel Zoom's Academy for the Super Gifted.
Amazon.com:
The bright colors and simple stories of classic superhero comics are the template for Zoom--none of that moody, bleak X-Men nonsense here. Retired superhero Captain Zoom (Tim Allen, The Shaggy Dog) gets pulled out of mothballs when the government decides to assemble a new team of super-powered kids. The motley quartet includes a herculean little girl (Ryan Newman), an invisible slacker (Michael Cassidy, The O.C. ), a telekinetic hot chick (Kate Mara, 24), and a chunky lad whose body inflates to enormous size (Spencer Breslin, The Cat in the Hat, The Kid). But Zoom has lost his super-speed and gained a cynical chip on his shoulder; will he regain his faith in heroes in time to battle an impending menace? There's nothing original about Zoom, but the engaging cast--which also includes Courteney Cox (Friends), Kevin Zegers (Transamerica), and Rip Torn (Men in Black, Forty Shades of Blue)--could have given some pep to a competent formulaic script. Unfortunately, they were saddled with this one. But the saddest aspect of Zoom is the sight of Chevy Chase (Foul Play, Fletch) trying to muster a scrap of his lost talent. --Bret Fetzer

I think this is a great family show with a little (clean romance) and fun action
Rating: -
the movie was good when the action was going on and boring when they were talking if they had more action and less talking this movie would be very good.
Rating: -
This was a great family movie. It was full of action and great special effects. Kids would love to watch it over and over again. Good choice for family viewing.
Rating:  -
The only stand-out performance is the young and adorable Ryan Newman. Everything else is blah and forgettable. So if you're a fan of RN watch it for her scenes, otherwise just don't. Seriously.

Zoom - Academy for Superheroes
My 7 year old daughter watched this at her cousins house and loved it...so I ordered it for our 'Friday Family Pizza Movie Night'. It was great! I enjoyed a 'real people' movie addition to our collection of animated films. We all loved it!!!
