Brian: Oh, I didn't. You left your sweater in class. Has your name in it. Look, I didn't do so good on this test. I just got one right: my name. Look, I was wondering if you could help me out; you know, tutor me.

Review: Wizards of Waverly Place: New Employee (#1.4)"
8 July 2008 | by (India) – See all my reviews

I think that this episode, like the other episodes on the show, was watchable enough. It had its moments especially the end scene with the mother.

The song that the two girls sing is well written, but overdone as they said it thrice on the show. Alex, as usual was funny and looked good. But she pronounces 'ench' as 'inch' and so, I was a bit taken aback when she said, what sounded like 'b****' was actually 'bench'.

Also, the young guy was very annoying. The other characters played their part well. Its not one of the best episodes, but certainly a good one. 7 out of 10.
