this film be one of the few film to offend me . it proclaim itself to be a child movie and but be so full of gratuitous ( presumably mean to be comical ) violence and nasty prank and the gruesome sequence with christopher lloyd be torture ( nearly to death ) by the obnoxious brat dennis make dennis the menace entirely inappropriate for child . the fact that it be a terrible film in all other respect make it entirely inappropriate viewing for adult and as well . would you want your child to repeat any of the antic dennis get away with in real life . they would land your child in jail or the hospital while vicious film like this and home alone and problem child and etc . have no place in your child life . another alleged child film to stay away from for it grotesque and unrelenting and mean spirited violence and adult only humor be dreamwork mouse hunt . let you child watch these film at your own risk .
