Title: A must-watch!
Product review: "Matilda" is a must-watch for anyone with a sweet-tooth for funny movies (like, for instance, myself). The adaptation, while perhaps not entirely faithful to Roald Dahl's book, works perfectly. The screenwriter(s?), whose name(s) I unfortunately cannot remember, did a superb job of turning Harry and Zinnia Wormwood from British idiots to American idiots.The acting is great from all parties. Real-life couple Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman are the perfect Harry and Zinnia (which I mean as a compliment...). The title role is well portrayed by Mara Wilson, and by Sara Magdalin as the younger Matilda. Embeth Davidtz is the ideal Miss Honey, and Pam Ferris is unforgettable as The Trunchbull.I've seen several film adaptations of Roald Dahl stories - "The Witches" and "The BFG" to name a couple - but this is by far the best one, and you will more than likely want to watch it lots of times.
