All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Blistering performances.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Most TV Movie based off a series, especially on Disney Channel, are rushed in their plot line. This is not. The plot line was very through, full and I never once thought that the story was squeezed into a time slot. Also there was little to no contradictory statements compared to the season. The cast was at its top acting- wise. They were fantastic. It had everything a great movie should- action, suspense, a great lesson, comedy, and really sweet moments. I loved the Alex- Justin scene! It was a very sweet brother- sister moment. Great ending, Great Acting, Great Movie especially considering it is a DCOM from a series. I highly recommend it to anyone who liked the series (especially in the first and second season).

This movie is magic.I like it very much.It makes you relax and it is very funny like the series.The acting is very good and the plot is excellent.It is not only for the kids, it's for everybody.No matter what age are you, this movie should be seen if you like comedies.Selena Gomez is Alex Russo a 16 years old girl who doesn't want to go on holiday with his parents but finally she is made to go on the trip.When they arrive there, Alex and her mother have a fight.That's where all start.From there I won't present the rest of the movie because is very exciting and I let you see the rest of it.From this movie you should understand that sometimes is better to listen the others, they might say something for your good.

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!

I'm surprised that the Walt Disney Studios didn't release this film version of their series The Wizards Of Waverly Place to the big screen first as they did with Hannah Montana. Given the special effects it probably would have been better served on the big screen.Be that as it may, I think more than the fans of the television series would appreciate this one. When I reviewed the television series I said that the kids reminded me of the Partridge Family offspring. They still do, but in the course of the film the story is more of a Harry Potter type story.Selena Gomez who's the pretty, but slightly rebellious middle child balks at the restrictions in general placed on her magic by her parents, but even more so when the family goes to the Caribbean for a vacation. With a really powerful wand in her hand, she says something really dumb like she wishes her mother and father had never met. So when David DeLuise and Maria Canals Barrera treat her and brothers David Henrie and Jake T. Austin. Of such wishes are Twilight episodes and It's A Wonderful Life plots spun.The only thing to do is for the kids to find the Stone Of Dreams which can reverse any spell. But Gomez, Henrie, and Austin have other folks looking for the same Stone to cure their problems.The cast of the show is an appealing one and the show itself might gain a few viewers with this film. But it really should have gone to the big screen first.
