See the world from a kid's-eye view with Matilda, a modern fairytale that mixes hilarious humor with the magical message of love. Mrs. Doubtfire's Mara Wilson stars as Matilda, a super-smart little girl who's woefully misunderstood by her parents (Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman), her brother and an evil school principal. But with the help of a brave best friend and a wonderful teacher, Matilda discovers she doesn't have to get mad to get even.
 
"Filled with a subversive sense of wit and whimsy, Matilda is a great comedy with a great message. The adults laugh as much, if not more, than the kids."  Elaine Blythe, Film Advisory Board
"...a family classic for all generations."  Voice Of America

 


Editor's Note

A young girl with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge overcomes her parents' disapproval and forms a lasting bond with a sensitive teacher, ultimately discovering her own special abilities. Adapted from the novel by Roald Dahl, and directed by Danny De Vito who also stars as Matilda's insensitive father.

Professional Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
"...An ideal rental for the legions of kids..." -- Rating: B 12/20/1996 p.84

Variety
"...A delightfully twisted fairy tale that artfully juggles broad tom-foolery and sly drollery, along with a generous serving of sight gags enhanced by special effects..." 08/05/1996

Chicago Sun-Times
"...Darkly comic....MATILDA doesn't condescend to children, it doesn't sentimentalize, and as a result it feels heartfelt and sincere. It's funny too..." 08/02/1996 p.33

Salon.com 9 of 10
...a small classic waiting to be discovered--not just a great kids' movie, but a thoroughly original - Charles Taylor
 
Chicago Sun-Times 8 of 10
Matilda is not in any sense a "children's movie", although older children will probably like - Roger Ebert
