Movie trailer and editorial reviews

"...An ideal rental for the legions of kids..." -- Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly - Melissa Pierson (12/20/1996)

"...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..."
Variety - Leonard Klady (08/05/1996)

"...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..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (08/02/1996)

Matilda is one resourceful little girl with very interesting powers. Her family is selfish, selfabsorbed, while ignoring her. I like the movie because she finds a better life in books, friends, and learning. She uses her special gifts to right the wrongs wrought by dishonest and callous adults. Funny, fast paced, and touching.

I bought this movie because my grandson asked for it but, after watching it with him, I found that I enjoyed it as much as he did. It has a very sweet heroine in Matilda and villains galore including, but not limited to, Danny Devito and Rhea Perlman. This is a good movie to teach children acceptance of their differences.

We liked it because it kept our children entertained. We didn't dislike anything about it. We decided to buy it because our neighbours have the same movie and their family really enjoy it.
