Wizards Of Waverly Place is a Disney show that I have been following
since it first began airing. I have fallen in love with the family, the
humor, and the most of all the wizard Alex, who is played by Selena
Gomez.
The show is about a family of 5, who conveniently have 3 children who
are wizards, so it's a show where anything goes, and magic can fix just
about anything. Their father Jerry was once a wizard but lost his powers
after he married a mortal. Although he has no powers, he is able to
teach his children magic, spells, and charms.
In Quinceanera, Alex's mom is planning Alex's Quinceanera, a Mexican
birthday party that celebrates a girl turning 15. The Quinceanera is
equivalent to America's sweet 16.
Alex however does not want anything to do with it. She hates dresses,
hates the outfit her mom is making her wear, and all around just hates
the idea of her being the star in her Quinceanera.
When Alex discovers that her mother never got to have her Quinceanera,
and it had always been her dream to plan one for her daughter, Alex
decides to use her magic to give her mother the one thing she never got
to have, a Quinceanera. Alex switches bodies with her mother, and now
her mother is Alex, and Alex is her mother.
Quinceanera is probably the most beautiful episode I have ever seen
come from the show. A daughter giving her day away to her mother, just
so she could experience a Quinceanera that she herself never got to
have. The episode was touching.
I highly recommend this show, and this particular episode. Quinceanera
is like the movie Freaky Friday, only downsized into a 30 minute show,
but equally as charming.
