Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
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.

...A delightfully twisted fairy tale that artfully juggles broad tom-foolery and sly drollery, along with a generous serving of sight gags enhanced by special effects...
Variety
Rating: 4/5 --
Slick kids movie that preserves Roald Dahl's gleeful nastiness.
San Francisco Examiner
Rating: 2.5/4 --
The adult performers fare considerably better than the young lead in this faithful adaptation of the Roald Dahl classic.

Matilda doesn't condescend to children, it doesn't sentimentalize, and as a result it feels heartfelt and sincere. It's funny, too.

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