1/10.I've always hated this stupid comic strip turned movie.What are they saying here?That a small child of 6 or so can do no wrong and thus never be held accountable? I felt this was beneath Walter Mathau, ChristopherLloyd, and Lea Thompson's great talents.If anything can be said about this movie it's that it wasn't a huge ht like the cliched Home Alone was.I truly hated this stupid, rancid, audience insulting hunk of garbage.

George Wilson: I can't stand that kid, he's a menace.
Trivia: Five years after this film was released, Christopher Lloyd—who plays the film's villain, Switchblade Sam—starred in the made-for-TV film "The Ransom of Red Chief," where he played a similar role: a criminal who kidnaps an unruly young boy who ends up turning the tables on his captors. Funny enough, Lloyd in that other film was also named Sam.
Question: Why does George go to find Dennis since he hates him? Did he also expect Dennis to listen to him after he had just scolded Dennis?

Chosen answer: He doesn't hate Dennis and does not want anything to happen to him. He's just a rather crotchety old man who is annoyed by a precocious kid. He may not expect Dennis to listen to him, but he at least makes the effort to reach out as most adults would.
