Dennis the Menace
An exciting adventure by Dennis Mitchell, the annoying, hyper-energy child. His parents go to town to work and leave Dennis alone at home. There was no babysitter for Dennis, so his parents would ask his neighbor George and his wife Martha to look after Dennis. George may be annoyed by Dennis, who acts strangely because of his excessive energy. When the thief comes to steal George's golden collection, Dennis will be taken hostage and George must save Dennis from that disaster.

Why, oh dear lord, why?!?

A movie that makes you leave the theatre with thoughts of having yourself, and your neighbors, spayed is not a good thing.

But it's all far too flabby, with lengthy setups that seem to go on forever. Some judicious editing to tighten up the film could have made all the difference in the overall pacing.

John Hughes' vision of Dennis is much more menacing than Ketcham's fans and parents of small children might reasonably expect.

How to turn an innocuous comic strip into an obnoxious movie.

Mr. Hughes and Mr. Castle try hard to re-create a kind of timeless, idealized comic-strip atmosphere, but except for the performances of Lea Thompson and Robert Stanton... nobody in the movie seems in touch with the nature of the comedy.

Its unholy mixture of peppy sadism and pious, self-righteous sentiment comes straight from Hughes' crabbed cinematic heart.

Those good qualities are undermined, unfortunately, by the Switchblade Sam character, who is dirty, threatening and scary.

Most children will get a kick out of it, although adults roped into accompanying their offspring may find themselves yearning to escape through the nearest exit.

A smooth blend of sentiment and slapstick.

Very young children may find the numskull, by-the-numbers gags here amusing, but teens will consider this kids' stuff and adults will be pained.
