    Not awful and certainly not great, Matilda is a strange little flick, but that's not to say your 9-year-old daughter won't get a solid kick out of it.

    DeVito gleefully preserves Dahl's dark comic tone, which should delight both kids and parents.

    Dark, beautiful adaptation of Roald Dahl story is uncompromising, entertaining and moving.
