This movie is very underrated. First off if you're a 80s child like me this movie will take you back. Second, this movie has a lot of great intangibles. The plot is a lot cooler than one would think (a Dinosaur bone found in the front of Dennis's house).Who wouldn't want a bone found in their front yard and have all that attention. The interactions between the cast (Dennis and Mr. Wilson, Dennis and his parents) is so realistic and heart warming. This movie is better than the other Dennis the Menace movies. Plus a young Jarrett Lennon, and future X File actor James Jansen can be found here.Everyone should watch this movie!! But if you don't than watch the next Dennis the Menace movie.
i seen this poor done comic film.but it would been better if they used a family that wasn't based on nothing.the movie starts as Denise finds a dinosaur bone in his back yard,and a fakewho claims to be a dinosaur hunter comes to stay with the family.and he is real annoying too.the film did not deliver much laughs.the only two funny things in the movie was when Denise tries to sneak that fudge candy to his room and the scene where Mr Wilson's washer overflowed.it would be a better film if it involved a different character.the 93 version was a real one.this one wasn't a Denise the menace at all. and i saw this one 2 or 3 times a month when it was on HBO.
I taped this movie when it first aired on television. My children made me watch it every week for almost a year!! The taping quality was very bad so I was EXTREMELY happy to see it is out on video. I think this version of Dennis the Menace is the best I have ever seen. I wish I could see it on "the big screen!"
You're better off with the 1993's Dennis the Menace. This one was so bad, it make Dennis the Menace: Strikes Back and the 1993 version look like American movie classics. PLEASE AVOID THIS MOVIE AT ALL COSTS!!!! There's much better movies out there than this stupid pile of bones.I give it No Stars
