Wizards of Waverly Place was the last live action show on Disney Channel that I actually watched, it was funny, it had good characters, the magic elements were fun, and it had several story arcs. Sure the special effects were bad, but they were bad in that fun cheesy way. So in 2009, two years after the show premiered, we got a made for TV movie based on the show, and it was just as good as the show.The movie follows the Russo's as they go to the Bahama's. While there, Alex falls for a wind surfing teacher, but when her mother says she can't hang out with him, she wishes that her parents never met. And because she was holding the family wand, her wish comes true. So now Alex, Justin and Max must find a way to undo the spell before they disappear forever.This movie works for the same reasons the show does. It's funny, it's got good characters, the film has a story, and it's a lot of fun. Unlike the show though, the effects and production value, are actually pretty good. Not enough for a theatrical release, but pretty good. There were only two things I didn't care for. One was the fact that Harper was barely in it. And the other was that the scenes with Alex and Justin alone felt weird, they're supposed to be brother and sister, yet they are acting like lovers.

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.

I really like Wizards of Waverly Place the movie. In the movie Alex and Justin had to take an enormous journey. Even if your an adult you'll really enjoy this movie. Adults find kid shows stupid and boring but if you see this one you'll really get attached. This movie will make a great family night. Its funny and you fill like your in the movie. Its incredibly awesome. I think that they did an extremely good job acting. And I think they made good back rounds for every scene. All of the characters did a good job with making up their facial expressions. Its so cool how they didn't just make it all dull and stuff. They came up with an extended addition. All in all I think you should see Wizards of Waverly Place the movie.

This is honestly the best Disney Movie i have seen since the 90's. It wasn't corny and the plot was very good. The ending wasn't lame or stupid, it had a lot of depth. This movie appeals to all ages its not one of those just for the little kids type of movie, because i am older and i loved it. in my opinion this movie was better then the Hannah Montana Movie and there is no reason that that movie was shown in theaters and this one was not. One of the main reasons the movie was so good was because the acting was absolutely brilliant. Selena Gomez (Alex Russo) gives the performance of a lifetime! She was absolutely amazing in this movie. David Henrie (Justin Russo) and Jake T. Austin (Max Russo) were amazing as well. There also was none of that trying to be funny comedy, like a lot of the Disney Channel Shows. I loved how the parents Jerry Russo (David DeLuise) and Maria Canals-Barrera (Theresa Russo) acted like real parents. I loved how this was truly about family, Selena and David had amazing chemistry as brother and sister as well as Jake Austin. It was so believable. The special affects were great! i loved the way they used their magic. Oh and i will also say, this is the first Disney Channel movie to make me cry since Tru Confessions, which is really saying something. Before this movie, i only occasionally watched Wizards of Waverly Place but after this i am planning on watching the new season. If you were a Disney fan in the 90's and you miss those movies like Wish Upon a Star and Susie Q, this movie will live up to your expectations. i give this 10/10. its the best Disney movie of this decade.
