Editorial Reviews
"...An ideal rental for the legions of kids..." -- Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly - p.84 - Melissa Pierson (12/20/1996)

"...A delightfully twisted fairy tale that artfully juggles broad tom-foolery and sly drollery, along with a generous serving of sight gags enhanced by special effects..."
Variety - Leonard Klady (08/05/1996)

This is probably one of the best examples of a book based film that I have ever seen, especially based on a Roald Dahl book. Director and star Danny DeVito has made Matilda a lovable little girl and based the whole film through the eyes of a child, an excellent idea. The Wormwoods are not very nice people, and they (for some reason) adopt a little girl. As a baby, and growing, this child seemed very clever, but they never noticed, they named her Matilda. Mara Wilson as Matilda is just perfect, and her parents, Harry (DeVito, also narrating) and Zinnia Wormwood are a really good mean mean couple. Matilda made many friends in school, including teacher Miss Jennifer 'Jenny' Honey (Embeth Davidtz). The only person she or no other kids could go near was the very good villain Miss Agatha Trunchbull (Pam Ferris), who throws children for punishment! A very good film about a wonderful girl and her magic powers. Very good!
