SYNOPSIS

Unfortunately  for  Matilda,  her  father  Harry  is a used car salesman
who bamboozles innocent customers, and her mother Zinnia lives  for
bingo and soap operas. Far from noticing what a special child Matilda is, they barley  notice her at all.

They  bundle  Matilda  off  to  Crunchem  Hall,  a  bleak  school  were
students cower before the whip-hand and  fist  of  a  hulking  monster,
headmistress   Miss   Trunchbull.   But   amid  Crunchem's darkness,
Matilda discovers remarkable skills -- including a  very  special  talent
that  allows  her  to  turn  the  tables  on  the wicked grown-ups in her
world!
