Dennis the Menace Strikes Again!

1998

0.5/5

"*heavy sigh*

After I watched the TV movie "Dennis the Menace: Dinosaur Hunter," I didn't think any of the Dennis the Menace movies could be worse. Unfortunately, I didn't count on a direct to video monstrosity such as this.

I will say up front that it does have one of the, uh, least offensive Dennises in any of them. The other kids in the movie aren't too bad, either. The praise, faint though it is, ends there, though.

This movie features:

An extremely 90's Margaret

Don Rickles as himself

Betty White, who would otherwise be the best part of any movie, being criminally underutilized

A Don Rickles and George Kennedy dance-off, which ends as you would expect

Carrot Top in blackface (that alone is enough to rate any movie 1/2 a star)

...and the movie ends with Dennis causing his grandpa's RV to plummet into the Grand Canyon. Dennis can literally not do anything more menacing than that. So no more Dennis the Menace movies, right?

(except they made two more of them)

Look, this movie is so bad that George Wendt is in it, but he's uncredited, and I imagine it's because he didn't want his name on this piece of garbage.
