Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie (2009)

After the big success of The TV Show it was finally time for a movie and to everybody's surprise we got it.The movie is about the Russo family going on vacation to where else Hawaii and Alex played by Selena Gomez has been causing a lot of trouble and wishes that her parents had never met. Well that wish comes true and has to get them to meet or they no longer exist.This is actually very good and has like the show a great cast and while the plot is recycled surprisingly works here. Usually a show goes downhill when it has a movie like The Spongebob Squarepants Movie, Thomas And The Magic Railroad and Barneys Great Adventure but lets face it that show was terrible from the start. While this movie made its show get better it does have its dragging moments but other than that check it out.Rated TV-PG.1hr 39min/99min.***1/2/****

I started watching Wizards of Waverly Place since I got the Disney Channel back in 2008 and when I heard there was a movie about it I decided to hell with it to check it out.The film is about the russo who go on a holiday vacation and Alex(Selena Gomez) has a fight with her mother Theresa and wishes that her parents never met. Of course when that happens she and her brothers Max & Justin have to try and bring them back together again or else they won't exist anymore. Meanwhile some guy and his bird whos name is wait for it Giselle(hey isn't that the name of the charcther in Enchanted LOL)anyway his after some stone or whatever it was cause I don't care and you can probably guess the rest of it for yourselves.The cast was awful,the story was dreadful and if you like the series then stick with the series and avoid this one cause its bloody awful.

This movie is honestly better than any other DCOM, Nickelodeon Movie or straight-to-DVD movie out there. It was written so well that (barely noticeable) flaws were forgivable. Sarcasm, and typical WOWP one-liners were inserted at just the right places that you can't help but laugh when the moment comes! Plus, the chemistry between each character was so good that you might even forget that they're just acting and that they're not actually related. O_o Even the extras made the film extra awesome!I'm not a very easy person to please but, frankly, NOTHING in this film disappointed me because it was SO MUCH better than I expected. You probably wouldn't believe me until you saw it for yourself!It truly is MAGIC. :)P.S. I think the next few DCOMs should be worried. They have pretty big shoes to fill!

This was a very good movie. Disney as I remember it kinda, I grew up on Disney films and lets face it they've fallen off in the last decade or so. But anyways back to the movie, while you've seen the plot many times before it still kept you wondering. The acting was superb, Jake T Austin does much better than expected in a role where he could have been a cliché, Selena Gomez and David Henrie were beyond convincing in their roles, their scenes together were my favorite! While the brother/sister relationship was in tact you could see that they ginuinely love and care for each other and credit goes to Ms. Gomez and Mr. Henrie for that. After seeing this I wonder what they will do next both have good careers ahead of them if they play their cards right. Their scenes were just so natural. Credit also goes to Mr. David Deluise and Maria Berrero (sorry forgot her name), the chemistry between the family makes you believe that they are really a tight nit family. To David Deluise your icon of a father would be proud of you for this performance. Hope they expand on the characters in the future and go for a feature film I would see it.
