Pros: Some amusing scenes, Walter Matthau's performance, Sets and props Cons: Script limited in scope, Lead actor is a bit miscast
Making a film about comic strip characters is always risky. The tendency is to create caricatures that capture the essence of the comical characters, rather than presenting them as real people. That is just the trap that Director Nick Castle (The Last ...

Pros: Impeccable credits, outstanding casting, almost continual laughing Cons: Even these, when I think of them, have to be complimentary.
Even without the mugging of Macaulay Culkin, this film is a wholly worthy successor to Home Alone! This shouldn't come as a surprise because they are both the product of John Hughes. I just watched this again after a long time on the shelf, and...

Everyone is familiar with Hank Ketcham's comic strip, Dennis the Menace; the adventures of a well-meaning, fun-loving, confident and curious boy named Dennis, inspired by Ketcham's own 4-year-old son. Unlike the anemic TV series from the 1960s, which...

Pros: A funny, feel good film, in good following of the original cartoon series Cons: A character can always do more as a cartoon, actors are so limited
This film was great, and I, as a loyal watcher of the original cartoon series when I was young, can say that it matches up well with the cartoon. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I must add, that this movie will always be far more appealing to those of...
