1996年8月2日 · “Matilda” is not in any sense a “children’s movie,” although older children will probably like it a lot. It is a dark family comedy about stupid parents, cruel teachers and a brave little girl, and it is no surprise to find that Danny DeVito not only stars but directed it.

'Matilda' (Mara Wilson) has outrageous parents and a super-outrageous school principal. All of the, frankly, are fun to watch but, once again, it gives kids bad messages, such as (1) parents are no good; (2) authority figures are no good; (3) you be the boss, not the adult, etc. etc.

2010年1月20日 · Review: This movie sounds serious, but it’s actually quite funny. Danny DeVito directs and acts–both as the narrator and Matilda’s father.
