`Matilda' waltzes with subversive glee
|
MATILDA
Directed by: Danny DeVito
Screenplay by: Nicholas Kazan & Robin Swicord (book: Roald Dahl)
Starring: Mara Wilson, DeVito, Rhea Perlman, Embeth Davidtz,
Pam Ferris, Paul Reubens, Tracey Walter
Playing at: Copley, suburbs
Rated: PG (elements of exaggerated meanness and ridicule, and
some mild language)
The many young fans of "Matilda," Roald Dahl's fable of
self-empowerment, won't be disappointed by Danny DeVito's film of it.
Good films made for and about little girls are Hollywood's rarest
genre. But this summer there are two -- "Harriet the Spy" and now
the equally delicious "Matilda."
