Plot: 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, All Movie Guide

When I looked for this movie for my granddaughter (which she loves) for her birthday, I couldn't find it in Cleveland, so I purchased it from Amazon. Now I find it EVERYWHERE for less than Amazon ($5.00 - and no shipping charge). I am disappointed in that. Next time I won't be so prompt to jump on your site.

This is an older movie, that I thought my 8 year old would enjoy. Well did she ever! Great purchase.

A fantastic book and a great film
Added 9/18/2009

I like to get my daughter to read books, before she sees the film - where possible. Matilda is a book that had us both engrossed for a couple of days. We read (I read mostly) whilst she ate, swam in the pool and almost slept for as long as it took. It is a wonderful story for 7 year olds and grown ups alike. We both agreed that the book was better, more detail, more suspense and more laughs, but the film was great icing on the cake. Enough to scare the living daylights out of us all (Trunchbull) and make us all relish the power of the individual. Now a slightly dated film, but the power of Roald Dahl is timeless. We are a couple of real fans!

I bought this movie for my daughter since she loved it. We used to rent it from the local library and the copy they had skipped. This movie was a great addition to my 3 year olds collection of movies.
