I really liked Positive Alex. It was so cool seeing Justin trying to get involved in physical activity by trying out for the basketball team. And it's good seeing more of Alex as a cheerleader (she really looks good in that uniform) and seeing her add her own little cheers in the style of mockery. And with Jerry eating popcorn off the floor, Max messing up as justin's camera man, and Zeke as a male cheerleader: All hillarious! Although, I am getting kind of sick of always seeing Austin Butler around, it was pretty good seeing him on the show. But I'm not sure if I liked his character; you really have got to get to know Alex in order to see the charm she has under all that negetivity before you judge her, but obviously, this guy is a very close-minded person. Plus, isn't it a little early for Alex to be crushing on guys after she lost Mason? Well whatever, at least it was very funny to see Alex when made herself all "positive" and upbeat; She was so CUTE! Selena Gomez is really talented when it comes to lapse in a charater's personality. Seeing her going all peppy and girly was a really refreshing character change, even if it was magic and in just one episode. But I'm glad Alex changed back after all that has happened; you just can't help but love for who she is! And I didn't think it was that big of a deal Alex didn't get the guy in the end; Alex needs a guy who will understand her more and sees the better person in her. I just hope Alex's lovelife won't go on like this forever. Anyway, really good episode, and I hope the show keeps it going.moreless

Alex is acting very funny and most silly because Alex really want to act very positive is like "You're the most best cheerleader!" and "I'm the most boo-tifully cheerleader!" and "Yes! I really want to go homecoming dance with you.". HA HA HA! This episode is soooo funny and exhiliarating because he try to impress George because George wants Alex dance very well. But anyway in the end of the episode, I saw that Dad is playing with earwax, Mom is eating the full piece of popcorn waaaay too fast. I guess Mom is very hungry. So... Max is making the movie, and this video is very unusual and silly.moreless

Better than the usual installment of Wizards of Waverly Place, and I think this is the first episode that I've watched that I've actually enjoyed. I realized that Alex is probably the most original Disney character. All the main characters on Disney Channel shows have had the same personality, the same thing happens with Dan Schneider's shows on Nickelodeon, but we've got a great character here, that doesn't have to be a good influence.

I mean sure, she can find some heart when she wants too, but this episode really showed her true hilarious side. I laughed a couple times here, and I really enjoyed Selena Gomez's performance here, and this show was unexpectedly not cliche. I've decided that this definitely isn't the absolute worst thing on Disney Channel, redeemed itself a bit with this episode.moreless
