Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior Trailers

It is the story of an average, popular American teenager named Wendy Wu who discovers that in order to win the coveted crown she must first learn the way of the warrior. Wendy Wu has a one track mind, and that track leads directly to the title of homecoming queen -- no unscheduled stops, and no unnecessary detours. When a mysterious Chinese monk named Shen arrives to mold Wendy into a fearless kung fu warrior, however, her royal aspirations suddenly jump the track as she desperately attempts to juggle her boyfriend, her homework, and of course, the fierce competition to become homecoming queen. Now, as Wendy begins to train her mind, body, and spirit in the ancient tradition of the martial arts and her inner warrior gradually begins to emerge, the girl who once obsessed over popularity finally begins to put that popularity into perspective as she gradually realizes what truly matters in life.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The movie,Wendy Wu Homecoming Warrior,started off by first introducing Shin Koyamada as Shen,a Buddhist Monk(from China) who is well-trained in martial arts and is destined to battle against the evil and powerful Yan Lo(and die).He can only defeat Yan Lo together with the Yin Warrior who is reincarnated as Wendy Wu,a pampered junior high school girl who is only concerned about popularity,fashion and boys.Wendy is now only concerned if she would become homecoming queen(in her school) but she also have to deal with Jessica Dawson,her rival since she was a child,as Jessica is competing against her to become homecoming queen.However,Jessica has a better chance of winning as she is more responsible with a better record and grades and Wendy is worried when Shen comes along and worsens her mood.Soon Shen manages to convince her(with the assistance of Wendy's grandmother). In the mean time Yan Lo goes around possessing people to get rid of Wendy's powers to prevent his destruction.Finally,Jessica is possessed and Shen together with Wendy have to fight her.Wendy now gave up going to accept her title as homecoming queen and battles Yan Lo.They successfully get rid of Yan Lo and Wendy sends Jessica off to become homecoming queen,giving up her dream she had been having since she was a child.Thankfully,Shen and Wendy destroyed Yan Lo forever without him being able to return and Shen wasn't killed,he is alive and not dead which was what should happen to him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!That would be the storyline,those who think that it was reasonably good are insane.I mean it was ferociously unrealistic with sudden events like Yan Lo suddenly showing his true form and Shen alive.I particularly felt that Brenda Song HAD FORTUNATELY saved the day as the overall performance of the other actors(especially Shin Koyamada) were relatively poor except for the character of Jessica(Ellen Woglom).Thw whole movie was somewhat hilarious because of the character of Wendy Wu.The factors that spoilt the movie are the storyline and the acting.

Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior is a great movie to see with your family, not to violent, so you can be comfortable seeing it with your parents. Even though some of you might think it's corny because there wasn't enough martial arts, Wendy's training for her big battle looked pretty realistic. Brenda Song did a good job in her first starring role, and it was so different from her role in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, and considering she had a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, it's hard to believe. She has been on so many movies and shows on Disney Channel, in Get a Clue, Stuck in the Suburbs, the Disney Channel Games, and The Suite Life, and guest starring roles in That's So Raven and Phil of the Future. The casting choice was great, the whole movie was filled with lines and actions that were pretty funny, and the movie delivers a good message about sacrificing what you want to do to help others ( if you call Wendy's not going to homecoming after she won homecoming queen a sacrifice...). I can agree with some of the other comments, such as how Shen's temple would have survived the Cultural Revolution, but then again, it's a Disney movie, so what do you expect. This movie has some facts about Chinese culture that most people wouldn't know, but there aren't enough. My favorite part was the party that Wendy took Shen to, and the swimming pool part after. When they made this movie, though, instead of making the monks her teachers, they probably should have made her ancestors that fought Yan Lo her teachers. But all in all, it's very enjoyable. In my mind, it's up there with Gotta Kick It Up!, High School Musical, Eddie's Million Dollar Cook-off, and Stuck in the Suburbs, and deserves a 10/10.

Worst DCOM I have seen. Ever. Well, maybe not as bad as Smart House. This was just bad. The acting and story was fine, but the effects SUCKED!They were so fake! The only good fight scene was between the brother and Shen. That was probably the only scene in which I was excited.Overall, I found this movie very boring and the film kind of ended suddenly. I will give it a four for Brenda Song who is a very funny actress and that one fight scene.4/10

I thought this movie was terrible. I'm Chinese, so I thought everything was totally wrong. Many of the facts were incorrect. The only thing right about Chinese history in the movie was when Wendy's mother explained to her husband about the statues that guarded ShiHuangDi. I also thought the fight scenes were very cheesy and fake. Many of the actors and actresses were not very great. Some of the jokes that were supposedly "funny" were really stupid. I think this movie should receive the worst possible rating it could get. Disney has really got to get more information about Chinese history if they want to create an extravagant movie. Mulan was quite accurate. Watch this movie if you want to waste some time.
