Dennis the Menace (1993) is a movie that my daughter and I recently watched together on Tubi. The storyline follows a young man named Dennis who is a menace to his neighbor, Mr. Wilson. One inauspicious week Mr. & Mrs. Wilson agree to watch Dennis while his parents are out of town on business. Any and everything that can go wrong, while Mr. Wilson watches Dennis, does go wrong...
This movie is directed by Nick Castle (The Last Starfighter) and stars Walter Matthau (The Bad News Bears), Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), Lea Thompson (Back to the Future), Joan Plowright (The Entertainer) and Paul Winfield (Mars Attacks!).
This has a strong Home Alone feel to it with a tremendous cast, laugh out loud slapstick comedy and a character that is cute and easy to root for. I loved both Walter Matthau and Christopher Lloyd in this throughout the movie. They deliver entertaining characters and hilarious reactions to circumstances. The opening aspirin scene is a legendary moment in this picture and was a perfect way to get it started. Lloyd's shenanigans were a perfect way to end it also. The full circle perspectives of characters evolving definitely brings a smile to your face and is a perfect way to conclude the picture.
Overall, this is a worthwhile family film that's an absolute must see. I would score this a 7/10 and strongly recommend it.
