Lots of fun. Mara Wilson is really good as the title role. There should be more movies for kids like this. Wonderful story.

| Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Cursed with a cretinous family and a witch of a school principal, a bright young girl learns self-reliance--and develops unusual powers. Wilson's irresistible charm anchors this very black comedy from the book by Roald Dahl. The bizarre goings-on, and the strange sensibilities, may play better on the printed page (and in a reader's imagination) than they do when acted out literally on-screen. Anne Ramsey being dead, DeVito had to find another harpy--in this case the furious Ferris. Jon Lovitz appears unbilled; DeVito narrates. Super 35.
