Brady (Ross Lynch) and McKenzie (Maia Mitchell), are first seen enjoying time together at the beach. After coming back inside, McKenzie (Mack) sees that Brady is a fan of the film "Wet Side Story", a film set during the 1960's. In the film, bikers and surfers battle for control of Big Momma's, a local hangout. Brady later learns that Mack made a promise to her aunt that after her mother died she would attend a private school, and they were to leave the next day.

Brady convinces Mack to have one last surf together, as that day large waves would hit the beach. Seeing that the waves are too strong, Brady goes after Mack, who is still in the water. The two are swept away by the waves, and find out they've been swept inside the movie "Wet Side Story". Brady sees it as an oppportunity to have fun, but Mack finds it the opposite. They then decide to play along with the plot, which is a surf-and-turf war between bikers and surfers over control over Big Momma's, a local hangout. They suddenly change the movie when the movie's lead man, Tanner (Garrett Clayton), falls in love with Mack, and Brady catches the lead girl, Lela (Grace Phipps), when she falls off the stage. This interferes with the movie's plot, in which Lela falls into Tanner's arms, not Brady's. Brady and Mack decide to make Tanner and Lela fall in love.

After several attempts, Mack and Brady meet at the beach and discover that they are morphing into the movie. They are then captured by the film's villains, Les Camembert (Steve Valentine) and Dr. Fushion (Kevin Chamberlin), who are scheming to get rid of the bikers and surfers and build a beach resort on where Big Momma's is at.

She's only 16 years old, but Zendaya Coleman already has her own hit Disney TV series, "Shake It Up," was runner-up on this season of "Dancing With the Stars" and is gearing up to release new music in July

Still, she's not the first to accomplish so much so early in her career, and now, as she transitions from Disney star to pop star with her single "Replay," which will be released next month, she understands that she'll be compared to Disney starlets who have come before her.

"Everyone has done it differently, and my main thing is that I don't want people to compare me," Zendaya told MTV News. "Everybody has their own way of doing things and they do it great. It's beautiful to see people grow up, especially in this industry — it's hard. But for me, I'm gonna grow up like Zendaya would grow up. Who knows how that's gonna happen, but I think it's going to be pretty great because I have great parents."She may not want the comparisons, but she will certainly take some advice. Earlier this month, Demi Lovato sat down with MTV News and described Zendaya as a "talented and beautiful" person before offering up some words of wisdom.
"My advice would just be to not let anything get you jaded. Just really appreciate. Be thankful for everything," Lovato said
Her advice didn't stop there: When Zendaya met the "Heart Attack" singer, whom she calls "inspiring" and "genuine," Lovato made sure that Zendaya was aware that if she ever needed anything, she would only be a phone call away

Wizards of Waverly Place chronicles the adventures of the Italian-Mexican Russo Family. The Russos live on Waverly Place in Manhattan's Greenwich Village, above a sandwich shop which they own and run. The family consists of siblings Alexandra "Alex" (Selena Gomez), Justin (David Henrie), and Maximillian "Max" (Jake T. Austin). The three teenagers are wizards and live with their Italian father, Jerry (David DeLuise), a former family wizard, and their mortal Mexican mother, Theresa (Maria Canals Barrera). When the Russo siblings complete their wizard training, they are to participate in a competition to decide who will become the Family Wizard (the one to keep his/her magical powers forever) of their generation, while the others lose their powers and become mortals. Because of this, Jerry tries to teach his children to not become dependent on magic. Since one of them gets to keep their powers, though, Jerry also gives his children wizard lessons (the lessons end mid Season four). The storage room of the Russo family's sub station is a wizard's lair. In the lair is a Portal which allows them to visit the wizard world, and other creatures to visit them. The headmaster of the wizard council, Professor Crumbs (Ian Abercrombie), regularly pays visits to the Russo home.
The Russo siblings attend Tribeca Prep and constantly encounter their Old West style principal, Mr. Laritate (Bill Chott). Because they live in the mortal world, the Russos are required to keep the existence of wizardry a secret. Even so, Alex's best friend, Harper Finkle (Jennifer Stone), discovers the secret in Season 2's episode "Harper Knows". Justin's best friend, Zeke Beakerman (Dan Benson), also finds out in Season 4's episode "Zeke Finds Out", along with Alex's boyfriend, Mason Greyback, who is a werewolf (Gregg Sulkin).
