The film was just unbelievable - the songs, the story and the acting performances from Alisha Weir and Emma Thompson, all magical. Even though it isn't available on Netflix in the USA until Christmas Day, followed by the UK and Ireland regions in Summer next year, it really is something that cinema goers, both young and old, will enjoy for two hours!
The makeup for Thompson's portrayal of Miss Trunchbull was also very similar to the character played by Pam Ferris in the 90s film. Using that much ageing material and a costume for making her look like a military general is just jaw-dropping - brilliant stuff!
There are some scenes which are a bit upsetting, which makes the film all the more worthwhile than the previous one in 1996.
