Based on the book Mathilda, by British children's author Roald Dahl, this film moves the setting from the U.K. to the U.S.; otherwise it follows the original closely. Mathilda Wormwood (Mara Wilson) is an extremely curious and intelligent young girl who is very different from her low-brow, mainstream parents (Danny DeVito and real-life wife Rhea Perlman), who quite cruelly ignore her. As she grows older, she begins to discover that she has telekinetic powers. Not until a teacher shows her kindness for the first time does she realize that she can use those powers to do something about her sufferings and help her friends as well. Villains from the awful Miss Trunchbull (Pam Ferris), headmistress of her miserable school Crunchem Hall, to her parents and older brother begin to feel her ire. Look for Paul Reubens (aka Pee Wee Herman) in a small part as an FBI agent investigating Mathilda's shady father.
My granddaughters (10 & 4) and I enjoyed this movie. I am glad we picked it up. I did have to take the first one I picked up back for an exchange- sadly the DVD movie disk was loose in the package and got scratched
Keep your iPhone 7 looking like new with this OtterBox Defender case. Curved edges and a silicone skin make this case easy to hold, and the back opening shows off the Apple logo. This OtterBox Defender case has a plum-colored polycarbonate shell that protects your phone from damage during drops.
This is my second otterbox defender case. Got a new phone and knew exactly what case I was going to get to protect it! Has a great plastic case that snaps around your iPhone then a rubber sleeve like bumper that goes around that. Along with the holster/clip to hook onto your belt or waistline when you don't have pockets... the clip on the holster actually rotates for easily adjusting to desired position you want. You will not be disappointed with this. Make sure to check Best Buy on-line price ... sadly their in-store price could be different - but they will match it.
My granddaughter (9) saw this in the theater with her cousins and told me I had to get it/add it to my collection- I enjoyed this movie and am looking forward to watching it a second time.
