Summary: Classic '90s comedy.
Review: "Dennis the Menace", directed by Nick Castle, is based on the hit 60's sitcom, by the same title.PLOT SUMMARY: Mason Gamble stars as Dennis Mitchell, a young kid who just can't seem to stay out of trouble. He doesn't MEAN to cause trouble...he just well, does. Walter Matthau stars as Dennis's grumpy next door neighbor, Mr. Wilson, who can't STAND Dennis. When Dennis's parents go away (Robert Stanton and Lea Thompson), Dennis must stay with the Wilsons, and Mr. Wilson is extremely unhappy about this. But when Dennis gets out of line, Mr. Wilson gets so angry that he yells at Dennis, which makes Dennis run away. That's when the real trouble begins...Dennis encounters an old neighborhood thief, Switchblade Sam (Christopher Lloyd), who kidnaps Dennis, and soon Dennis learns that Switchblade Sam has stolen some items from the Wilsons' house (and others from his neighborhood), so it's up to Dennis to save the day. MY OVERALL THOUGHTS: I haven't seen this film in a long time, but I remember it well. The acting from the entire cast is great. The storyline is light-hearted and fun. Mason Gamble was a perfect choice for Dennis. The directing is wonderful, too. From the looks of the DVD, there is going to be some great special features. The bonus features will include a behind-the-scenes featurette, a documentary on Dennis the Menace, a special "memories" document with Mason Gamble, a conversation with Walter Matthau, and another conversation with writer and producer, John Hughes. The DVD will also include trailers and a DVD-ROM game. The DVD will be available in wide screen format. I highly recommend "Dennis the Menace". Score:
89/100

Summary: Never laughed so hard..
Review: A great family movie for all ages. The scene where Dennis ties up the Chris Lloyd and makes him eat all the beans, cracks me up beyond belief. My daughter,3, loves it, and if you have to watch a movie over and over(parents know what i mean) this is a great one.

Summary: Leonard Malton is wrong!
Review: A great movie! So is Home Alone (the first)! Dennis the Menace was the original troublemaker and was up to pranks and mischief long before Kevin! Who's copying who? Get the movie and laugh your butt off!!!

Summary: typical kiddie fodder
Review: About halfway through this movie, I looked at the clock and wondered why it wasn't over yet. I honestly thought the 2nd Dennis movie was better and Justin Cooper was funnier. Mason Gamble was okay as Dennis in this 1st film, but he was 10 times better as Scott in the TV movie, Anya's Bell.

Summary: A Review of the DVD
Review: Buy a DVD for $24.99 and you're bound to find extra features, pleasantly, you can get "Dennis the Menace" at a considerably less price, and still find tons of extras! Fans of the film, and the cartoon, will enjoy a new conversation with the now-teenaged Mason Gamble, who remembers gaining and playing the part of Dennis the Menace. There are also vintage interviews with John Hughes, Walter Mattheau, and Hank Ketchem, creator of the beloved cartoon series. The extras also feature the 1993 television special that promoted the film! Then, of course, there is the film itself, which, to new veiwers, could just have easily have been made yesterday afternoon, as it has not aged in its first decade. The motion picture is presented in widevision, but the ratio is such that if you do not have an enhanced television you can still enjoy a frame full of mostly picture (those black bars can get annoying on some other movies). The film continues to be a lot of fun and very charming.

Summary: Why does everyone love this movie?
Review: Dennis the Menace, indeed. I think this whole film was a menace to the entertainment industry. The kid they picked to play Dennis, what's his name, Mason Gamble, doesn't look or act anything like the Dennis Mitchell of the comic strip and the cartoons. He's just a cutesy cutesy little boy who acts like any five year old you'd see in a public preschool. He's appropriately named, because the film makers took a big gamble casting him ... and they lost. This flick was a commercial disappointment as I recall.
Then of course you have Walter Matthau as Mr. Wilson. Matthau is interesting enough, and he's probably the best thing this lousy film has to offer. He's ... well ... adequate as Mr. Wilson.
Finally, the big mystery... Christopher Lloyd. I've always been a big fan of his all the way back to his "Taxi" days, but would somebody please tell me just what in bloody hell the screen writers were thinking when they created his character in this thing? Switchblade Sam is a grimy knife wielding nutcase with rotten teeth who wonders into town to rob people's houses and ends up kidnapping Dennis. What the @$&%? I don't care who played his part. This character does NOT belong in a Dennis The Menace movie. There must have been a mistake. Apparently there was a horror film being made in another part of the studio, while this one was being produced. Maybe it was one of those Clive Barker flicks, and Chris was playing the same character in THAT thing. One day he must have just wondered onto the Dennis the Menace set by mistake, and the screenwriters hard up for material just approached him and asked "Hey, we're struggling with our script. We need a villain in our movie. One that will attract audiences of all ages. You want to be in it?" Any other self-respecting actor would have flat-out refused, but of course Lloyd hasn't exactly been Hollywood's sweetheart these last few years. He's a character actor with a "Back to The Future" stigma who when it comes to roles must catch as catch can. So, naturally he said yes, and here you have him. Completely out of place in a film that should have been shot with children in mind, but wasn't. I would never show this film to my kids. I'd be afraid that Christopher Lloyd would give them nightmares like he did to me when I first saw this movie.
