Amazon.co.uk Review
The Disney series Wizards of Waverly Place has spawned its first full-length movie, and the film is full of out-of-control magic, teenage angst, and challenging family dynamics. Alex has never lacked attitude, but when she disobeys her mother, almost wrecks the diner, and risks the lives of herself and her friend Harper, her feistiness lands her in the middle of a magic-free Caribbean family vacation in which her attitude may just spoil the trip for everyone. Unbeknownst to their parents, Alex smuggled the forbidden book of spells into her luggage, and even the perfect Justin was unable to resist bringing along the family's all-powerful magic wand. After days of turning up her nose at her parent's romantic reminiscing and complaining throughout every family activity, Alex shouts out an impulsive wish that her parents had never met one another. The problem is, Alex is holding the family magic wand when she makes the wish and it instantly comes true. As Alex, Justin, and brother Max begin to realize the dire implications of their new situation, they try every spell they can think of to reverse the wish. When nothing works, they look to a street magician and his bird to help them find the stone of dreams, an important wizard artifact that possesses unlimited power. Their quest is filled with peril, but as Justin and Alex make their way through each challenge, they begin to realize how much they need one another and how important family really is. In the end, Alex and Justin are forced to compete against one another in a life-changing battle from which only one sibling can emerge victorious--the question is, even if one of them wins, will the family still lose? Also included on the DVD is a 10-minute bonus feature highlighting on-location fun and photography in Puerto Rico along with some of the cast members' favorite stunts, effects, costumes, and props. (Ages 7 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

On the bandwagon of the Disney's channels successful and popular series; Wizard's of Waverly Place comes the movie. And it is just as amazing as the tv series. It has the same qualities of laughter, and some great acting.
The film is a family adventure in which wizard Alex is forced to go on despite her attempts not to. With her mis use of magic having spiralled out of control, her mother steps in and issues a magic free holiday for her and two brothers Max and Justin in a bid to a have a 'normal' family holiday.
Of course there is nothing normal about this holiday when Alex takes matters into her own hands and inadvertantly causes a major magical disaster which could effect her future and that of her family.
There were moments of laughter mixed with that of sad ones and the love hate relationship between Alex and brother Justin is pushed to the max (no pun intended). I enjoyed their relationship progression to accepting and loving each other all be it in the face of adversity.
The disaster (I will not say so I do not spoil) culminates in an early family wizard tournament which sees Alex and brother Justin go head to head in order to save what is left of their family and for only one of them to keep their wizard powers as a prize.
With an ending which goes against character, it makes for a great watch for both tv series fans and those who aren't.
It's magic you know!

Good Fun
I am the mother of a 10 year old girl, who informs me that this film is definitely worth 4+ stars. Predictable and disneyfied, but still fun to watch (especially if you're 10!)
