Based on Roald Dahl's children's novel, "Matilda" is a fun fantasy/comedy about an amazingly smart child, her scumbag parents, her sadistic principal and her sweet kindergarten teacher. It's astonishingly eye-pleasing with an out-of-this-world set, cast and plot. Definitely recommended for family viewing!
