Dennis is up to his usual tricks. Everything he does is done with a pure heart and in a clumsy way. It’s one attempt after another to make Mr. Wilson happy, but each adventure ends in a bigger disaster. Dennis wants a bicycle for Christmas but his last adventure with Mr. Wilson left his family with a big debt and no way to pay it off and afford a bike for Christmas. Mr. Wilson has forbidden Dennis to come on his property. As Mr. Wilson falls asleep in his chair, a Christmas angel appears and takes him through the past, present, and future to show him what the path he is on will lead. We learn why he’s the way his is, and the future Dennis doesn’t turn out so good either.
This is a cute Dennis the Menace story that is just what you would expect, nothing more. It’s a cutesy kids story, but those of us like me who grew up with Dennis every Sunday Night after Lassie, will remember the way it was. This is the same Dennis. The Christmas Story part in the last half hour isn’t very long, and it’s appropriate to the story line. But the best part is the accidents and destruction at the hands of Dennis. Everything that could happen to Mr. Wilson, does. It’s worth watching for all the fun!
