.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
