Dennis is inspired by a classroom lecture about Christmas celebrations, and goes on a reckless rampage of "well-intentioned" destruction. Don't expect the exuberant Dennis who touches adult hearts with his ingenuous spirit. Expect a misguided kid whose ill-conceived crusade involves trespassing, persistent obsession, vandalism, and ignoring warnings. Aimed at three year old kids with a slapstick approach, the violent accidents are supposed to be funny and cute. They're neither.
Dennis's parents do nothing, as the kid marks a "checkoff" list of good deeds to "help" Wilson. One fiasco after another. Damage, destruction, injury. Then he tries another item on the list. Damage, destruction, injury. Then another. Damage, destruction, injury. And on and on. No jury in the world would convict Wilson if he bought some pit bull attack dogs to devour this little psycho next time he sneaks on to the property. And then blow up the Mitchells' house. Anyhow, the story then throws in a weakly contrived "Christmas Carol" sequence in for a moral tag. In spite of a hopeless script, the cast all do a pretty decent acting job. You may not notice the actors by this time though; you'll be too busy rolling your eyes.
Uses the Dennis moniker, but it's really a thinly disguised cheap rip off of Home Alone.
