Warning: Spoilers
Former child star and Mrs Doubtfire star Mara Wilson stars in this family fantasy where she plays the main characther Matilda who isn't like much kids. She loves reading books and has telepathic powers. Her parents loathe her and she goes to school ran by a rough looking woman played by Pam Ferris (who is so unrecognizable BTW)who happens to be the principal in her school. Matilda of course loves her teacher Miss Honey played by Bicentennial Man's Embeth Davidtz who is hiding a secret from Matilda? Turns out she is the step daughter of Miss Trunchenbull and like Matilda her stepmom(which was Ferris's character BTW) didn't love Miss Honey and she felt the same way like Matilda with her family.

So will Matilda escape the clutches of her bad parents?

Overall I always enjoyed this film. Its funny,a bit silly but overall it was definitely a hit when I was growing up.

6/10
