While "helping" his father dig irrigation trenches in the front yard, 6-year-old Dennis Mitchell (a.k.a. the Menace, played by Victor DiMattia) discovers a giant dinosaur bone. This brings Mr. Mitchell's old classmate, now a dinosaur hunter, into their home and deep into the earth beneath their yard. But this scheming paleontologist does not have the Mitchell family's best interests at heart, and soon he puts Mr. Mitchell's job in jeopardy, threatens the neighborhood with mass evacuation for a "Dinosaur Land" amusement park, and, needless to say, rattles already-crotchety next-door neighbor Mr. Wilson (William Windom). Kids will enjoy the dinosaur dig, but won't care for the neighborhood/office politics or the subplot involving Mrs. Wilson getting a job against her husband's wishes to finance a second honeymoon. On the other hand, adults will wince at many of the less-than-clever jokes that pepper this 90-minute 1987 TV movie. For die-hard Dennis fans only. (Ages 4 and older) --Kimberly Heinrichs
