Matilda

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Village Vidiot

Children’s flick based on the book. Classic story of child with horrible parents, saved by wonderful teacher (Miss Honey) who she in turn saves as well from her wretched aunt/principal. Nicest work by Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman (he produced as well) as the awful parents. Fun to start, but the stress on her goodness and supernatural powers is not as interesting as in the book. Still, B- gave this one a really big thumb up!
