Matilda / TriStar Pictures presents a Jersey Films production ; produced by Danny DeVito [and others] ; screenplay by Nicholas Kazan & Robin Swicord ; directed by Danny DeVito.
Matilda is a phenomenally bright child curiously born into a phenomenally dull family. She is remarkably lovable and charming while her family is remarkably rude and crude. To save money, her parents send her to a school that looks like a nightmare. The principle is huge and mean. However, Matilda's teacher is actually kind and intelligent much like Matilda herself. The teacher understands Matilda. Soon Matilda wants her bad world to change and, in consequence, develops special powers. You really must see what horrifyingly funny tricks she performs to teach that bully principal a lesson. You really must.
