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. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Kevin Carr, 7M Pictures
it's a pleasure to see Brenda Song actually get her own vehicle on the Disney Channel
-
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
The script, penned by no less than four writers (!), is as vapid and brainless as Wendy Wu herself...
-
David Cornelius, DVDTalk.com
The action is slick and the family theme is sweet, but Wendy Wu ultimately collapses under the weight of all that obligatory Disney Channel formula.
