Dennis the Menace Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Those good qualities are undermined, unfortunately, by the Switchblade Sam character, who is dirty, threatening and scary.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Mr. Hughes and Mr. Castle try hard to re-create a kind of timeless, idealized comic-strip atmosphere, but except for the performances of Lea Thompson and Robert Stanton... nobody in the movie seems in touch with the nature of the comedy.
Entertainment Weekly
Ty Burr
Its unholy mixture of peppy sadism and pious, self-righteous sentiment comes straight from Hughes' crabbed cinematic heart.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
A movie that makes you leave the theatre with thoughts of having yourself, and your neighbors, spayed is not a good thing.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Someone ought to pay for this.
Associated Press
Patricia Bibby
What saves this movie from insipidness is an endearing performance by Walter Matthau as the cantankerous Mr. Wilson.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Very young children may find the numskull, by-the-numbers gags here amusing, but teens will consider this kids' stuff and adults will be pained.
Washington Post
Joe Brown
Beyond the booby traps and plentiful pranks, Dennis the Menace is truly a treat for all ages.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
The comic has been condensed into a sweet-naturedly nutty motion picture with the buoyancy of a clutch of colored balloons.
Hartford Courant
Malcolm Johnson
A kid's picture that can delight crabby adults, too.
Juicy Cerebellum
Alex Sandell
Why, oh dear lord, why?!?
TV Guide
John Hughes' vision of Dennis is much more menacing than Ketcham's fans and parents of small children might reasonably expect.
