Entertainment Reviews:

Entertainment Weekly - 12/20/1996

"...An ideal rental for the legions of kids..." -- Rating: B+

Variety - 08/05/1996

"...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..."

Chicago Sun-Times - 08/02/1996

"...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..."

Product Description:

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.
