Plot Summary

When his parents go on vacation, Dennis Mitchell is left in the care of his grandparents, George and Martha Wilson. However, Dennis's usual mischievous antics continue, much to the chagrin of Mr. Wilson, who is now dealing with a new adversary: the greedy crime boss "The Butcher". Dennis, with the help of his loyal dog Ruff, must foil The Butcher's plan to steal a valuable treasure hidden in the Wilson's neighborhood.

What Reviewers Say

  • A predictable and unfunny sequel that fails to capture the charm of the original.
