Lost in Translation

I saw Matilda tonight.
.
Something is clearly lost in the translation.  It is the most anticipated British theater import in forever.  I hated it.  Loathed it.
.
Found it stupid, rude and not funny.  Parents who hate their child.  Teachers that are incompetent.  A head mistress (played by a man) who is oh-so-humorously masculine and sadistic.  And children.  Lots of children singing.
.
I didn't understand what the fuss is about.  But, God those Brits love a man in a frock.
