[@rbgilbert11]

The greatest part about this movie is the way they turn Dennis' menacing into a result of his energy and curiosity. Like he's not doing all this intentionally to be horrible but just being a boy who doesn't really think before he does something and is very curious, creative and oblivious. Perhaps it's due to the mix of his "brainy" dad and the "oblivious" blonde mom that created his personality. It makes you really like the character and have impact when Mr. Wilson yell's at him and he "runs away", instead of despising him like if he were just an intentionally chaotic demon child.

[@amthatdad3450]

That is exactly why I was upset at what I thought was the British remake of the American character. I moved to the UK for a few years and when I saw that dark-haired malicious trouble-maker and his mean dog I thought it was a slap in the face to the character. Imagine my pleasant surprise when I watched this video and learned that it was just a striking coincidence!

Exactly Dennis in my opinion wasn't bad, he was busy. He was creative And really smart And intuitive for his age. He was actually very sweet in the movie.

She got married, quit dancing, and had a baby, and her doctors always thought she would never be able to. It's easy to complain about stupid shit till you meet someone who has it waaaay worse (I have another friend whose baby has epidermolysis bullosa, but that's another story).

I at first was going to mention how the word "homely" means ugly, and that Minty unintentionally said that Goldsmith did an ugly score, but I decided to check Google to see if there were other meanings for the word. Sure enough, the British definition of the word "homely" is the equivalent to our (American) definition of the word "homey".

Interesting. I didn't know that.

As a 35 year old, I have to say, this is one of my favorite movies as a kid and as you said every once in a while my fiancé and I watch it...(I almost said pop the tape in lmao 😂 I guess I am getting old) even if it just for the nostalgia!! I’d love to see you do one one either Beethoven 2 or The Little Rascals (the 90’s one of course) or now that think about it...a GREAT ONE would be “Little Giants” (not sure if you know that movie though) as that’s one of my fiancé’s favorites, she LOVES that movie (as do I)

Sorry, Casper was so much better, but I loved Chris in this.

The original Dennis in the series is played by Jay North. He ended up being a prison guard in Lake Butler Florida. He was one of the officers over my dorm. He said he was screwed out of every penny by his family. Sad how alot of child actors end up.

Apparently Joan Plowright wasn't told about the part where Mr Wilson comes back covered in flour and water, and so her reaction @ 6:40 is genuine.
