Amazon.com:
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

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 Amazon again! The shipping cost was great too.
Rating: - 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.
Rating: - <3 Matilda <3
I love this movie, its been so long since I've watched it I can't wait to receive it in the mail. Me and my cousin used to watch it everyday, it was so funny.
Rating: - Wonderful!
Wonderful family film. It's hard, at times, to find something we all enjoy. Many of the films that my kids like, dad and mom find incredibly boring or poorly acted/written/directed. Matilda was something that we all loved. I'm not sure how true it was to the book as I have only heard bits and pieces of it on an audio version that we borrowed from the library. I'm not sure why some people thought it was so dark. The treatment of children that other reviewers complained about was in such a comical manner- it made all my children laugh. The comedy was entertaining & the warm and fuzzy ending made me smile & cry.
Family of six : ages 2-43, all of us enjoyed it immensely.
