Product Description
The story of a teenage girl struggling to balance the demands of her homecoming queen campaign shopping boyfriends and saving the world. Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 10/24/2006 Starring: Brenda Song Run time: 90 minutes
Amazon.com
To her friends, Wendy Wu (Brenda Song) is an average teenager with an almost perfect life and a dream of becoming homecoming queen. Chinese legend, on the other hand, declares that Wendy is first and foremost the reincarnation of a powerful woman warrior from the Wei Dynasty who is destined to fight the newly-awakened, evil Yan Lo. When Shen (Shin Koyamada), a most untraditional Buddhist monk, arrives in Fair Springs, California to begin training Wendy in the art of Kung Fu, Wendy is skeptical and uncooperative until a series of strange events involving her family, friends, and teachers force her to consider her priorities from a whole new perspective. Some serious Kung Fu training whips Wendy's body into shape, but it is her state and strength of mind that will ultimately determine her path and the destiny of the larger world. Disney star Brenda Song (The Suite Life of Zack and Cody) shows true martial arts prowess in this action-packed film as does Shin Koyamada (Constellation). Ashley Tisdale (High School Musical) also plays a supporting role. Bonus features include an exclusive alternate ending, a look at the intensive martial arts training that predated the film, a cast connections segment that is basically a television biography of Brenda Song, and an episode of The Suite Life of Zach and Cody in which London (Brenda Song) is disastrously enrolled in parochial school and Zach and Cody learn a lesson about spying.

 Disney movie May 22, 2008
Charleen Merced (Newington, CT and sometimes in Puerto Rico)
Wendy Wu is a pretty good TV Disney movie. The movie is about Wendy Wu, a Chinese American popular high school teenager. Her world changed when a Chinese Monk, Shen, comes to her and tells her she is the reincarnation of a powerful line of Yin female warriors and that she is destined to fight an evil spirit, Yan-Lo. Wendy Wu has to deal with getting a better grade in History, becoming the homecoming queen, reluctant training to be a Yin Warrior and also having Ya-Lo constantly possess people and attack her. All in the day of the average highschooler. Wendy Wu is a fun film for the family, especially the tweens. It is fun, exciting (tons of martial arts) and even has some info about Chinese history and culture. I enjoyed the movie and the younger audience will enjoy it a lot more.

I ordered 2 videos one from kjsmedia which I will never order from them again. I have never received my video but my credit card was charged but the other one that I purchased from video warehouse I received in 2 days and the kids are enjoying their video.

The whole family loved it September 1, 2007
John J. ONeill (Allentown, PA United States)
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.
 Wendy Becomes a Warrior! June 18, 2007
It turns out it was sort of not like I had expected. I mean, Wendy never really fought another girl, but a male villian in a girl's body! Still, this movie is quite good.
This movie's about a popular teen who starts to learn that she's a Yin warrior and must train her martial arts skills to defeat a non-mythical creature, Yan-Lo. Yan-Lo keeps going from body to body, searching for this soon-to-be warrior!
So, I give this movie 4 stars. It's probably not the best Disney Channel movie, (like "Read it and Weep,") but let's see how you'll like it!

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.
