    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      According to Christopher Lloyd, after filming the scene where his character spears Gunther's apple with a knife and eats it, Hank Johnston, the young actor playing the role, was so frightened of Lloyd that he wouldn't approach him afterwards on the set.
    • Goofs
      When Margaret cries about Dennis being lost, she holds the doll that was stolen from her earlier and which she has somehow reacquired before the thief's apprehension.
    • Quotes

      Switchblade Sam: Put a cork in it, you're giving me a headache.

      Dennis: I don't have a cork.

      Switchblade Sam: Shut your mouth.

      Dennis: I can't because my nose is stuffy, because of my allergies. If I shut my mouth, I can't breathe good.

      Switchblade Sam: Then keep your mouth open, but don't talk.

      Dennis: Where do you put the cork when you put a cork in it?

      Switchblade Sam: [Pants irritably a couple times] Didn't I ask you to shut your yap?

      Dennis: What's a yap?

      Switchblade Sam: It's your mouth!

      Dennis: I can't shut my mouth because my nose is stuffy -...

      Switchblade Sam: SHUT UP!

    • Crazy credits
      During the end credits, there is an additional scene with Dennis at Alice's workplace, who was forced to take him with her to work following the aftermath of Mr. Wilson getting hit in the forehead with a burnt marshmallow, and tries to help Andrea make copies of documents, only to wind up getting her face onto the copying scanner when her necklace gets caught in the machine and Dennis runs off in fear and alerting many of the other office workers.
    • Alternate versions
      The post-2003 prints plastered the closing Warner Bros. logo with the 2001 variant.

    Two Thumbs Up
    For me, this cinema version featuring the innocent mischief of cartoonist Hank Ketcham's precocious hyperactive preschooler, Dennis (The Menace) Mitchell, is a classic sleeper. Remarkable performances by Mason Gamble (as "Dennis Mitchell") and Walter Matthau (as "Mr. Wilson") help to mold the screenplay into a delightful light-hearted comedy intended for the whole family. I, personally, look forward to the day that its presentation is offered in DVD format.
