Sadly Over-hyped

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

When his parents have to go out of town, Dennis stays with Mr. and Mrs. Wilson. The little menace is driving Mr. Wilson crazy, but Dennis is just trying to be helpful. Even to the thief who's arrived in town. I don't get why 'Dennis the Menace' is so low rated here on IMDb i mean i freaking love this film especially Walter Matthau and Mason Gamble had such a great chemistry together as Mr. Wilson and Dennis plus Christopher Lloyd was hilarious as the villain especially his "demise" in the end was just hysterical. Definitely a great 90's movie. (10/10)

For those who remember Jay North as the lively little kid who seems to take an almost fiendish delight in tormenting grumpy neighbor Mr. Wilson, this new Dennis The Menace feature film will bring back some good memories. Warner Brothers even had the foresight to cast Hollywood's number one specialist at curmudgeon roles Walter Matthau as the ever grumpy Wilson.Young Mason Gamble is Dennis Mitchell, problem child deluxe. Parents Robert Stanton and Lea Thompson have trouble getting babysitters as Dennis's reputation is known far and wide. The next door neighbor Wilsons played byz Matthau and Joan Plowright take him, at least Plowright makes the offer.The usual mayhem follows with Matthau the brunt. But when robber Christopher Lloyd steals Matthau's valuable coin collection, Dennis is on the case. What follows is what you see in the Home Alone films.Gamble made a nice and appealing Dennis. But even natural scene stealers like kids are up against it when dealing with Walter Matthau. Poor Gamble didn't have a chance.Dennis The Menace is a nice family film for a family movie night.

Alright, well, I usually like movies like this. I'm a pretty big fan of the Richie Rich movies, especially Richie Rich's Christmas Wish. However, the Dennis the Menace movie just makes me sick. The horribly disturbing scenes in this movie, were actually too disturbing for even me, and I saw a man get hit by five trains in unison. He was a very fat man, and the trains were relatively thin. The scene where Dennis cuts open the family dog and prances around the house singing pharell's Happy was great, but unfortunately, that was the only scene of it's kind. The rest of the movie was ass. It sucked like my dog. The scene in which Dennis stomps his dad's fingers till they are moosh was too much for me. I just couldn't stand it. And then when he tells the dad to pick up the gallon of milk on the floor with his mooshy hands, a projectile vomited all over the people in the theater in front of me. When I did that, they cheered. Because they thought they thought they were at sea world, and they were in the splash zone. They were also blind, deaf and unable of feeling texture. All they felt something warm and wet them. I continued to projectile vomit for another few minutes. It was coming like a firehose. It filled the theater, and by the end of the movie, some people had drowned in the vomit and I was arrested for manslaughter. Also it wasn't very nice when someone drove their truck into the theater. After they got out, I vomited right into the man's mouth. He ate it. Willingly. We're actually friends now. At this point, the whole theater has either left, cannot leave because they are being pushed down the monsoon of vomit or were dead. Anyway, 5/10.

Lets face it, Kids movies nowadays are pretty stupid. When you look back on kid movies from the 90's they are classics compared to today. One of them is Dennis The Menace.The film is about Dennis Mitchell played by Mason Gamble who causes trouble for his Neighbor Mr. Wilson played by Walter Matthau who is not very happy with his antics. Meanwhile A man named Switchblade Sam played by Christopher Lloyd who likes to stare at children.This is a very gentle film. The child actors are cute, Walter Matthaus performance is very good and the film is often very funny. However Christopher Lloyds performance is not the best and am I the only one that thinks Lloyd's character is creepy spying on children. Still I recommend it.Rated PG For Comedic Mischief.1hr 36min/96min.****/****
