Danny DeVito's adaptation of the Roald Dahl book for children is mostly just fine, helped along quite a bit by the charming performance of Mara Wilson (Mrs. Doubtfire) as young Matilda, a brilliant girl neglected by her stupid, self-involved parents (DeVito and Rhea Perlman). Ignored at home, Matilda escapes into a world of reading, exercising her mind so much she develops telekinetic powers. Good thing, too: sent off to a school headed by a cruel principal, Matilda needs all the help she can get. DeVito takes a highly stylized approach that is sometimes reminiscent of Barry Sonnenfeld (director of Get Shorty, a DeVito production), and his judgment is not the best in some matters, such as letting the comic-scary sequences involving the principal go on too long. But much of the film is delightful and funny. --Tom Keogh
 
Customer Reviews for  'Matilda (Special Edition)'
 
Family perfect
I have long been impressed with this movie and I do believe that Roald Dahl would be proud of how it turned out. Danny DeVito was brilliant with the story that was properly modernized while still remaining true to the novel. The movie plays like the modern fairy tale it is with stellar acting all-around and perfect story telling.
 
America still stands for go for your dream
Having worked and lived in five countries and seen about 4000 movies (at least) in three languages, I can confirm that Matilda shows what America is still made of, the dreams can come true! point.
If you ever doubt of trying for your dream, that movie will show you that with courage, hard work, faith and not giving up that you can do it!

Matilda DVD
I got the item in the mail very quickly, for a really great price, the price was better then any store! The DVD looks perfect as well wraped in plastic and brand new! I would for sure buy dvds at Americancivilwar again! The shipping cost was great too.
 
Big hit with our daughter...
My daughter first saw this movie on a family TV station movie night. She loves it! I had it DVR'd, but she watched it so much I decided to just buy it and make more room on our DVR. Plus, this way there are no commercials.
