1. This was a childhood staple. Conservatively watched 30-40 times between the years 1993 and 1996. I make no apologies. 2. The creepy Christopher Lloyd character, Switchblade Sam, most definitely lives behind the Winkie's diner. 3. Mattheu is quietly doing god-level…
Colin the dudeDec 30, 2020I watched this so much as a kid. Turns out, it's still fun to watch.

Christian Di LeoSep 15, 2020I related heavily to Dennis in my childhood and a good bit of the goofs hold up. But for real, I still think that Christopher Lloyd played the creepiest character out of any children’s movie villain out there. and this was directed by michael myers ??

so funny but kinda boring
Flaherty likedDennis the MenaceMy kids loved it. Lots of physical comedy and Walter Mathheau and Marty McFly's mom do a good job with the adult roles. Got a couple hours of email done while my kids cracked up.
Kikibooly lovedDennis the MenaceI don’t think that the movie itself is objectively good but it consumed my childhood so I truly am in love with this stupid little movie
- Mickerdoo likedDennis the Menace
Not as good as other Hughes works but really better than it should be. The entire cast is spot on and there are some excellent gags.
Steve Hallett lovedDennis the MenaceWhat a belly laugh of a movie 🤣, Walter Matthau is brilliant, seen this a few times, never gets old 8/10
Rachel Gordon likedDennis the MenaceStill a fun watch. I was surprised I remembered every beat of the movie. Watched it way too much as a kid.

Metacritic
Mason Gamble, the 7-year-old who plays the title role, won't be any competition for Macaulay Culkin of Home Alone. He's a handsome boy, but he displays none of the spontaneity that initially made Mr. Culkin so refreshing. He seems to follow direction well, if in a somewhat robotic way.

There's a lot to like in Dennis the Menace. But Switchblade Sam prevents me from recommending it.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Written and produced by John Hughes, it's a kiddie action comedy much indebted to Hughes's Home Alone, but with much less of its meanness.
