Children's fantasy/comedy based on the Roald Dahl's novel of the same name about smart and sweet Wilson who comes from a terrible family (with director DeVito and his real-life wife Perlman as the awful parents, and Levinson as the bratty bully brother), and beloved and kindhearted Davidtz as a caring teacher who works under wicked school principal Ferris. Wilson, in the titular role, is very relatable to kids from the era, and Ferris is fun to despise. It is odd that DeVito chooses to narrate this story when he also plays the deadbeat dad. Also, what lesson is being taught to the viewer when the homely actors are the ones playing the antagonists?
