Hank Ketcham's popular comic-strip kid comes to the big screen in Dennis The Menace, a delightful family comedy from writer/producer John Hughes, the creative force behind several of the most popular movies ever, including Home Alone and Uncle Buck. Young Mason Gamble (who won the title role over 20,000 hopefuls) is all-boy, all-menace, right down to his slingshot and dog Ruff. As Dennis' long-suffering neighbor George Wilson, screen veteran Walter Mathau is a marvel of lovable grumpiness. And Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future) adds a new wrinkle to Dennis' neighborhood as a villain who learns he can't match wits with a certain 5-year-old dynamo. He may be a minor, but he's a major delight. In fact, "Dennis The Menace is an irresistible treat" (Bill Diehl, ABC Radio Network).
Editor's Note
John Hughes brings this lavish production to the big screen. The all-star cast is first rate (Dennis was chosen from over 20,000 child actors), bringing the neighborhood characters to life, from Mr. and Mrs. Wilson to Margaret and Joey and Dennis's benevolent parents, Henry and Alice.
Plot Summary
Based on Hank Ketcham's comic strip and the TV series. Dennis Mitchell is no menace to society. He's just a young boy whose mischievous ways constantly land him in hot water. Specifically, Dennis loves to play practical jokes on the crusty, ever-fuming Mr. Wilson (such as adding bathroom cleanser to the curmudgeon's mouthwash). Trouble arrives, however, in the form of a shady stranger named Switchblade Sam, who kidnaps the towheaded lad. But when Dennis's prankish nature is unleashed upon Switchblade Sam, the wily boy isn't a captive for very long...
