a great sense of humor.., 26 September 2008
10/10
Author: sheena_gabule from Philippines

i am 20 years old and surely not much of an avid fan of Disney..But i really had fun on this one.. If you are a person who has a good sense of humor, no doubt you will get hooked..

i like Selena, she is pretty, talented and a versatile actress even if she's only 16.. and not to mention she is way better than Miley. Her acting is so natural,the way she delivers her lines were very good.. And if you are a person who wants to start your day with a big smile on your face you came to the right place. The roles was acted well by the cast especially Justin, their conversation with Selena was always funny. So people you wont regret it, support WOWP.

Surprisingly good, 12 August 2008
9/10
Author: Christie Cassidy from United States

Okay so I'm not a tween or anything. People would prolly say I'm too old to watch Disney. I'm almost 18 and the shows on Disney channel are not funny at all to me or anyone my age. Maybe little kids find them funny but the jokes are so tired and unoriginal. I.E. Hannah Montana, Suite Life of Zack and Cody. They're entertaining to watch but not funny.

Wizards of Waverly Place is surprisingly funny. I would not expect this from a Disney show but it is celever, witty, and I laugh out loud sometimes. The actors are believable and relateable and it is not only entertaining but hysterical to watch. I think it is a bit more mature than all of the other little Disney shows based on 11 and 12 year olds. It is appealing to me and I enjoy watching it =]

Good show, 23 June 2008
8/10
Author: Hannah (hannahbry27) from United States

Before I start, I just have to say that I am not a big fan of the Disney Channel. I don't watch it for the most part. However, I was channel surfing one day and stumbled on this show. I thought, "Well, I've never seen this before. Maybe it won't be as bad as some of the other stuff on here." I have to say that I was right! This show is appealing for the "tweenage" population but also for people in other age groups (myself included). "Wizards" is also pretty funny (albeit some of the humor is a bit cheesy, I have to admit that it still gets a chuckle out of me!). Selena Gomez is definitely another rising star. I had never even heard of her before this show, but now I count myself as one of her fans. Jake T. Austin is simply adorable, and David Henrie is pretty cute ;) I think that viewers of most ages will probably enjoy this show (if they can stand some overplayed gags and corny jokes). Personally, I think it's a lot better than anything else they show on that channel, so if you're like myself and think that everything on Disney Channel is stupid and little-kiddish, I recommend that you check this show out - maybe it will change your opinion. It did mine!

enjoyable, funny, and goofy. What did you expect from a Disney show?, 14 October 2007
9/10
Author: music232 from United States

I really like Disney shows and i thought this one looked pretty good. I watched and i thought it was great! The plot is unique and reminds me of harry potter or phil of the future(which is good!) The show is funny and the acting is great. Little kids, especially girls will probably stick to shows like hannah montana because they like the whole popstar plot and stuff like that. But i could see a 12 or 13 year old liking this show. The characters in the shows are new faces to me and i think they're pretty talented. Even though is pretty good it might not make it far in Disney because not many people are watching it, but bad reviews shouldn't get the show cancelled because this show probably won't get bad reviews! I definitely recommend this to all Disney fans! I am also going to recommend this to all my friends!:)

Better Than I Thought It Would Be !!!!!!, 30 June 2008
10/10
Author: emdiva11 from United States

When I saw the commerical for this show I though , it was going to be just like the Harry Potter series , which I never really enjoyed ( I was never a fan of magic ) But when I saw the premier I though it was a very enjoyable show and I liked it a lot !!!

Most of the cast are new faces to Disney Channel. But they'll become big !!! The acting talent in this really impresses me !!! Selena Gomez is really a very talented actress. They have good , clever jokes. Not washed up ones that you've probably heard a thousand times.

I really recommend watching this show !!! It'll make you have a good laugh and you'll really enjoy and see how good the acting talent really is , They couldn't have picked a better cast !!!! 10/10 GREAT SHOW , REALLY !!!!

A Diamond in a patch of coal, 24 August 2008
8/10
Author: thejokerest1894 from United States

I would describe wizards of Waverly place, in a word refreshing. In the recent years I have strayed from the Disney channel due to the recent decline in quality and yet I find myself watching this with renewed enthusiasm for the network. The Humor is standard of a Disney channel show but thanks to the personality the actors are able to bring to the table it more then makes for it.I especially enjoy the work of Selena Gomez, the way she delivers her lines are far beyond those of say Raven-Symone and other Disney channel stars. I guess its taken Disney channel awhile to find a diamond in the patch of coal they call programming. In the words of the immortal bard..Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana "YA Think?!"

Best Show on DC So Far!!, 21 July 2009
10/10
Author: yassweet from United States

WOWP is so different from any other show on Disney. It deals with something unreal and uses it for entertainment. It's smart, it's funny, and it's creative. I think it helps the viewers with their imagination. I mean we already have the superstars-are-normal, behind-the-scenes angle with Hannah Montana, Sonny with a Chance, and Jonas. It's nice to see a show that incorporates something else.

The relationships are real. I know I've said I love the whole magic element of the show, but I love the family and friendship components too. The Russo family is relatable. The teasing playful camaraderie between the older Justin and younger Alex is something that I think all of us have seen. Families aren't perfect. They fight and they're dysfunctional. Like the Russos, but they still get along and even have those family moments as well. Just like Alex and Harper, they fight and they're different but they still manage to stay best friends.

The people are real. Ha ha, I'm so tired of the perfect parents that always give you advice. The overprotective bumbling father and controlling and pampering mother are nice to see on TV because they remind me of my parents and a couple of my friends parents as well. Alex is exceptionally real. And when people say they hate her then they hate the truth. More teenagers out there, including myself are more like Alex Russo then Miley Stewart, Sonny or any of the Lucas brothers. Hey, we're a sarcastic and sassy generation. It's a lie to say we aren't.

Sure Miley and Sonny are greater idols to kids out there but they aren't reality.Many more kids can relate to Justin,Alex,and Max then Sonny or Miley. Plus WOWP (aka wizards of Waverly place) has humor for both teens and children. Also how they are making references to suURBAN OUTFITTERS,Wizard of Oz, Breakfast Club,etc.I hate how many DC shows give a character a talent and in the next show it magically disappeared. With Zeke loving aliens to Dean doing mechanics they repeatedly mention these things in almost all the episodes they appear in.

The characters style. (: I've already said this but I love how all the characters have a really cool urban sense of style. By watching the show you see what I mean.

This is awesome, 12 May 2008
10/10
Author: Jasons-Out-There from United Kingdom

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

***Great Program***

I love this program. It is probably my favourite one on Disney channel. The story lines are great and the cast are excellent my favourites been Jake T Austin (Max) and Selena Gomez (Alex) the cast all work very well and make a very believable and very likable family. The program has some great funny, witty lines/jokes such as "Either I found dad's wand or I cracked my butt knuckle" and the very catchy "Thats Bunk" spoken by very likable Max (Jake T Austin) and great episodes. My favourite moments in episodes are Selena going chocolate crazy after been bitten by a pocket elf (You'll see) and episode one involving a dragon dog. I am looking forward to a season 2 of WOWP.

I was Watchin the suite life of Zack and Cody with two of my friends and we all said this show would suck as much as daddy day camp. So about three weeks later there was nothing on TV so i put this on (the episode with Dustin's first kiss) and it was actually hilarious

then i started to ape every episode that was on and i love every one there is.

i could not stop laughing this show is great,the best Disney channel show ever

so short and sweet this show is great

10/10

spellbound:the magical aura of the very charming Selena Gomez, 12 March 2010
10/10
Author: ALRITE4EVER (ALRITE4EVER@YAHOO.COM) from GEORGIA

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

the best to watch this show is the very adorable Selena Gomez.she steals every scene she is in.even though her character Alex Russo isn't always the best person,miss Gomez'real life likability shines through.Alex isn't deliberately mean-just lazy,looking for shortcuts,like a feminized version of mike seaver of growing pains.and underneath the sarcasm and scheming of Alex,is a heart for her family and friends.she has helped Justin get his first kiss,helped her mom have the quincernera she didn't get to have as a teen,stuck up for harper at Gigi's loser party,helped Hugh bond with his parents,arranged for her dad to relieve his days at the asteroid belt,and helps her elderly neighbor.a sweetheart beneath it all.
