One day, George pretends to be asleep to avoid Dennis, who mistakes this for illness and shoots an aspirin into his mouth with a slingshot. Dennis's parents Henry and Alice try to discipline him while they get ready for work, so they leave Dennis with his best friend Joey McDonald at the home of their impetuous classmate Margaret Wade. As they fix up an abandoned treehouse in the woods, itinerant bandit Switchblade Sam arrives in town and robs them of an apple and china doll. </p><p>While vacuuming spilled paint in the garage, Dennis inadvertently shoots a glob of it onto George's barbecue grill; tasting it, he suspects Dennis. Henry and Alice leave Dennis with a teenaged babysitter named Polly, who invites her boyfriend Mickey to visit while sitting. Sneaking outside, Dennis pranks them by <a href="/wiki/Knock,_Knock,_Ginger" class="mw-redirect" title="Knock, Knock, Ginger">ringing the doorbell and hiding</a> until Mickey tapes a thumbtack to it. George investigates the vacuum in the Mitchells' garage and accidentally shoots himself in the groin with a golf ball. Hoping to confront the Mitchells, George pricks his thumb on the tack, and they mistake him for the prankster. Polly and Mickey douse George with water and flour. Switchblade Sam commits a string of robberies throughout town, so he is noticed by Chief Bennett. </p><p>Dennis plays with George's <a href="/wiki/Dentures" title="Dentures">dentures</a>, loses the two front incisors, and replaces them with <a href="/wiki/Chiclets" title="Chiclets">Chiclets</a> before George has his picture taken for the local newspaper. Henry and Alice go on business trips but cannot find anyone willing to babysit Dennis, except Martha, George's wife, who is happy to treat Dennis as the child who they never had. George, however, is infuriated that Dennis has replaced his <a href="/wiki/Nasal_spray" title="Nasal spray">nasal spray</a> with <a href="/wiki/Mouthwash" title="Mouthwash">mouthwash</a> and the latter with <a href="/wiki/Toilet_cleaner" title="Toilet cleaner">toilet cleaner</a>. Dennis lets his dog Ruff in the Wilsons' house, leading George to mistake him for Martha. In the attic, Dennis's carelessness causes George to slip on <a href="/wiki/Mothball" title="Mothball">mothballs</a>. </p><p>George has been chosen to host his garden club's "Summer Floraganza", having spent almost forty years growing a rare orchid that will finally bloom that night. During the party, Dennis presses the garage door button, and it opens and upends the entire dessert table. While the Wilsons and their guests await the flower's nocturnal display, Switchblade Sam robs their house, stealing George's antique coin collection. Dennis, who heard him and discovers the empty safe, alerts George, distracting everyone from the flower's brief blooming, after which it dies. Furious and unaware that he has been robbed, George coldly chastises Dennis, who flees to the woods and is abducted by Switchblade Sam. Henry and Alice arrive home to learn that he has disappeared, prompting a townwide search. Even a guilt-ridden George sets out to look for him after realizing that Dennis was telling the truth about the robbery. </p><p>Switchblade Sam prepares to leave town with Dennis as an unsuspecting hostage. Showing Sam the proper way to tie him up, Dennis handcuffs Sam, loses the key, unintentionally bludgeons him, and sets him on fire. As Dennis discovers George's stolen coins and realizes that Switchblade Sam is a thief, Sam attempts to stab Dennis but is snared in a rope that is caught by a passing train. </p><p>The next morning, Dennis returns home with the captured Switchblade Sam and George's recovered coins, to the relief of George and the whole town. Switchblade Sam is arrested, and Dennis naïvely returns his knife. Sam attempts to stab Dennis again, but Chief Bennett accidentally closes the police car door on his hand, causing him to drop his knife into the storm drain and wince in pain before being driven away. </p><p>The Wilsons and Mitchells make amends, and Alice mentions that she can bring Dennis to work with her because her office now has a day-care center. George and Martha insist that they would be happy to watch Dennis, as he accidentally flings a flaming marshmallow onto George's forehead. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Dennis_the_Menace_(1993_film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 20em;"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Mason_Gamble" title="Mason Gamble">Mason Gamble</a> as <a href="/wiki/Dennis_the_Menace_(U.S._comics)#Characters_and_setting" title="Dennis the Menace (U.S. comics)">Dennis Mitchell</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Walter_Matthau" title="Walter Matthau">Walter Matthau</a> as George Wilson</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Joan_Plowright" title="Joan Plowright">Joan Plowright</a> as Martha Wilson</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Christopher_Lloyd" title="Christopher Lloyd">Christopher Lloyd</a> as Switchblade Sam</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Lea_Thompson" title="Lea Thompson">Lea Thompson</a> as Alice Mitchell</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Robert_Stanton_(actor)" title="Robert Stanton (actor)">Robert Stanton</a> as Henry Mitchell</li> <li>Amy Sakasitz as Margaret Wade</li> <li>Kellen Hathaway as Joey McDonald</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Paul_Winfield" title="Paul Winfield">Paul Winfield</a> as Chief Bennett</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Natasha_Lyonne" title="Natasha Lyonne">Natasha Lyonne</a> as Polly</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Devin_Ratray" title="Devin Ratray">Devin Ratray</a> as Mickey</li> <li>Hank Johnston as Gunther Beckman</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Melinda_Mullins" title="Melinda Mullins">Melinda Mullins</a> as Andrea</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Billie_Bird" title="Billie Bird">Billie Bird</a> as Edith Butterwell</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Bill_Erwin" title="Bill Erwin">Bill Erwin</a> as Edward Little</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Arnold_Stang" title="Arnold Stang">Arnold Stang</a> as Photographer</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ben_Stein" title="Ben Stein">Ben Stein</a> as Boss</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Jeannie_Russell" title="Jeannie Russell">Jeannie Russell</a> as Neighbor</li></ul> </div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Dennis_the_Menace_(1993_film)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Production president <a href="/wiki/Terry_Semel" title="Terry Semel">Terry Semel</a> wanted <a href="/wiki/Tim_Burton" title="Tim Burton">Tim Burton</a> to direct the film, but executive producer Ernest Chambers rejected the idea and hired John Hughes as writer and producer, based on his work on the <a href="/wiki/Home_Alone_(franchise)" title="Home Alone (franchise)"><i>Home Alone</i> films</a>.

The movie, directed by Nick Castle from Hughes’ script, is still caught up in that warp (with a few concessions, like the fact that both Henry and Alice now work). This means that Dennis doesn’t get into any high-tech shenanigans. No <a href="/wiki/Computers" class="mw-redirect" title="Computers">computers</a>, no <a href="/wiki/Video_games" class="mw-redirect" title="Video games">video games</a>, no <a href="/wiki/Laser_guns" class="mw-redirect" title="Laser guns">laser guns</a>. The film pretty much sticks to the old-fashioned basics [and] since this Dennis is only 5 years old, perhaps the decision was made to keep things slapstick-simple. Or could it be that the filmmakers regard Dennis as a “classic"—like, say, <a href="/wiki/Huck_Finn" class="mw-redirect" title="Huck Finn">Huck Finn</a> or <a href="/wiki/Penrod" title="Penrod">Penrod</a>? </p><p>This sort of misplaced reverence probably won’t do much for young audiences accustomed to a little more zap and bounce in their heroes. Parents might be grateful, though. The shenanigans in "Dennis the Menace" are mostly so mildly conceived and executed that kids aren’t likely to try them out on their families when they get home from the theater. Mom and Dad won’t have to lock up the frying pans. </p><p> If Hughes was expecting this film to create another pipsqueak franchise for him, he may have miscalculated. "Dennis the Menace" seems more like a rest period in between Culkin-ized tantrums. It’s not much—just one goofy little foul-up after another—but its lack of crassness is rather sweet.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p><a href="/wiki/Roger_Ebert" title="Roger Ebert">Roger Ebert</a> of the <i><a href="/wiki/Chicago_Sun-Times" title="Chicago Sun-Times">Chicago Sun-Times</a></i> gave the film 2½ stars out of 4, and wrote, "There's a lot to like in <i>Dennis the Menace</i>.
