Now before anyone could simply dismiss my comments as invalid, let me say that I enjoy films of all genres. I usually do not enjoy Disney Original movies. However, as an action movie fan I thought this movie was very entertaining.

In response to a few comments earlier made, this film wasnt meant to be a dialogue intense film. It's a Disney take on Asian action films, and its intense choreographed fight sequences, though at some times a bit silly, are a tribute to a style of film that is deeply enrooted in modern asian culture.

The idea of a high-school beauty who stereotypically is obsessed with popularity, looks, and of course shopping is rather endearing. Also noteworthy is the slight commentary on how American culture sometimes easily enables us to forget our previously deeply held cultural heritage and the traditions that come with it.

I particularly enjoyed the scence in which the Wu family is enjoying dinner, and for dessert, the family enjoys Moon Cakes (a traditional Chinese celebratory delicacy). The family all enjoys them, except for the father, who is troubled by the fact that he nearly forgot about the pastry. It later leads him to comment that he "wants to be an ASIAN-American family". I find this comment to be rathe bold for a Disney film.

All in all the film was enjoyable. Particularly silly, but gripping and endearing. I highly recommend this film to anyone looking for a bit of action mixed with silliness.

For those who laugh with London, the heiress to the Tipton Hotel at Zack and Cody, this DVD will be a surprise. The story reveals another facet of the actress. Cute, not boring at all. I saw it with my nine-year-old girl.

My 9 year old daughter and I both do martial arts and we both loved watching this movie. The martial arts were well choreographed, and it was great to see a girl go from being all about the clothes to learning that she could kick some serious behind!

Stars Brenda Song & Shin Koyamada did a tremendous job with this movie. Its full of action, good dialogue, and comedic moments. Shin does an extraodinary job like he did in The Last Samurai. Since I'm Asian, I really enjoy the Asian cultural things like the Terracota warriors, Buddhist monks, and Kung fu, even though I'm Japanese. Big fan of Koyamada-san. And its a story of true sacrifice. So, people with the bad reviews, just have fun, geez.

I loved Wendy Wu:Homecoming Warrior.I remember that I first saw this movie when if first came on the Disney Channel.Brenda Song did great in the movie as Wendy Wu.That I get to see her make move with a total different character is the side of her that I've never seen before.I've always like Kung Fu Action Movie.I'm Glad this movie is finally out on DVD!!!

I thoroughly enjoy watching the movie over and over. The kung fu scenes were awesome. I also thought the chemistry between Brenda and Shin was strong - makes you believe that Wendy and Shen could be more than friends. Hope we see more of Shin Koyamada. I give this movie 4 stars.

i love wendy wu. its fun and full will action.This is because wendy wu does high kiscks.

ps: vote for wendy wu!!!

When I heard that a new DCOM was coming out starring the one and only Brenda Song I was so happy! Especially since the story has so much potential. Well, premiere date occured and the movie turned out to be exactly what I was hoping for. Another great hit! The movie has a little bit of everything for everyone! Action, Love, Fights, Laughs, and much more! I would highly recommend this DCOM to everyone and it would definently occur in my top 10 DCOM list!

Wendy Wu Homecoming Warrior is a positive values entertaining movie for the whole family. My wife, daughter (8) two nephews (14) and I really enjoyed it. Yes the flying on cables and the speeding up of the film speed at times cheesed it up a bit but over all it was still a great movie. It is easy to see that picking two stars for the film who were already taekwondo blackbelts paid off. Brenda Song really did well in this movie and we hope to see her in more future movies. My daughter loves this movie the most. When we first picked it up she did not want to watch it, Once she took a look she wanted to watch it every day for more than a week.

brenda song is one of my favorite actor's from disney channel.If you love Brenda song or love a good kung fu movie,this is for you
