Matilda Summary
MPAA Rating: PG
Director: Danny DeVito
Genres: Children's/Family
Rating:
Based on the book -Matilda, by British children's author Roald_Dahl, this film moves the setting from the U.K. to the U.S.; otherwise it follows the original closely. Matilda Wormwood (Mara_Wilson) is an extremely curious and intelligent little girl who is very different from her low-brow, mainstream parents (Danny DeVito and real-life wife Rhea_Perlman), who quite cruelly ignore her. As she grows older, she begins to discover that she has telekinetic powers. Not until a teacher shows her kindness for the first time does she realize that she can use those powers to do something about her sufferings and help her friends as well. Villains from the awful Miss Trunchbull (Pam_Ferris), headmistress of her miserable school Crunchem Hall, to her parents and older brother begin to feel her ire. Look for Paul_Reubens (aka Pee Wee Herman) in a small part as an FBI agent investigating Matilda's shady father. Clarke Fountain, Rovi
