In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Yazmin
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Brooklynn
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

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/****

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!

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.
