Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie (2009)

To me, this movie is perfection.

Good movie but grossly overrated

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Amazing movie. Original. Fantastic. I know Justin and Alex are supposed to be close and siblingly in this movie, but at times they are heading into dangerous territory. Your vision may differ of course, but the closeness, well, a little unsual for a brother and sister. Maybe the actors are into each other a little too much. Alex is Alex as usually, not the perfect role model, but I think this makes the show and the movie the most interesting on that channel, I can barely call Disney. The rest was excellent.Parents don't have to worry about the example that the rebellious teen sets for their own kids, since Alex eventually is forced to come to terms with her unpleasant behavior when she faces the possibility of life without her family. What's more, she learns important lessons in responsibility and self-confidence and improves her relationship with her brother after she sees things from his point of view. This upbeat, kid-friendly movie is a great choice for families of tweens and might even help get the ball rolling on discussions about topics like rules and respect.I love it.

I am not much of a Selena Gomez fan or a Disney TV movie watcher.But the movie was film in Puerto Rico and Gabriela Rosario stole my heart playing the village girl saying one delightful word,"Cueva",meaning "cave".I give my thanks to Selena Gomez and Disney in putting my Island of Puerto Rico and esp,Rosario to play the little girl and the reason for the good comment on Rosario,she is family member and want her to become a major Hollywood star,as for the movie.It the first time I see a Selena Gomez's wizard movie and the Puerto Rico scene shot was beautiful done.Gomez is a teen idol of this century.This became the second most watch TV movie on Disney channel next to high school musical.hats off to the village girl and her only word "cueva".next Selena Gomez for the next century or the next adventure in Puerto Rico part 2.

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.

This has no spoilers, promise! Okay, I'll admit, I don't care for Disney Channel movies. I watch them, yes, but Camp Rock? Please..I will also admit to being a bit partial to Selena Gomez over the other Disney stars for mainly the reason that she is a better actor. I sort of like Wizards of Waverly place, and I really liked Princess Protection Program, but I absolutely LOVED this movie! A few parts (very few) were maybe a bit over the top, but most of the movie was REALLY good. It was obviously better quality than the series, much better plot, and the special effects were totally believable in almost every way. The setting was cool, the acting was really good, and the dramatic parts (near the end especially) are both suspenseful and make you completely connect with the characters - which never happens for me unless it's a really good movie. Plus, it's almost a... More 'innocent' version of Harry Potter, with better characters.The movie made me cry, and the outcome is completely unexpected. It shows a better side of the WOWP actors and makes you think you are watching a theater movie and not a DCOM. All in all, I loved it, and I think Selena Gomez will probably go to a lot bigger movies when she is finished with Disney Channel.
