To make sure that his beloved neighbour, Mr Wilson, has the perfect Christmas, the neighbourhood's lively six-year-old, Dennis Mitchell, makes a long list of things one needs to make it work; however, will the old man ever change?

Mr. Wilson refers to when he was five years old in 1925. Walter Matthau was indeed born in 1920. See more »

Shortly after George places the lid on the barbecue, the paint catches on fire, even if he didn't notice straight away, he would have had to at some point. And how does the chicken stay intact? Surely it should have been charred. See more »
"Dennis the Menace" is unique in its own way because it's observant. This movie made me laugh at stuff i've always laughed at and things i'd never thought I would laugh at. The film can be surprisingly innocent at times and sincere and heartwarming. And the kid who plays Dennis is a way better actor than Macaulay Culkin. I liked the film for its imagination and humor. A good film. I also liked how they showed Dennis trying to resist the temptation to do something bad but can't resist.
