[edit] Plot

Dennis Mitchell is back, and worse than ever. At the beginning of the movie, his grandpa moves in, and he starts spending more time with him than his annoyed neighbor, George Wilson. Mr. Wilson, upset that he's getting older, gets tricked by two con men, and gives them thousands of dollars in order for him to be younger. The con men sell him a fake machine that they claim will make him look and feel a lot younger. The desperate Wilson gives in to their scheme. Suddenly, the attitudes of Mr. Wilson and Mr. Johnson (Dennis' Grandpa) reverse as Johnson feels George's pain of living in the same neighborhood as Dennis. Trying to fix an earlier mishap, Dennis accidentally destroys Wilson's machine. As a result of this, the Wilsons plan on moving away to be away from Dennis for good, and Johnson plans on moving into their house, although no one seems to really want to carry out this plan. The film concludes by Dennis helping the police (unintentionally) catching the con men(who were pretending to be several different workmen at the Wilson house when the Wilsons planned to move, draining even more cash out of George). Dennis, who was a "menace" throughout the whole movie, ends up a hero, and Mr. Wilson decides not to move. Mr. Johnson decides to move out of the Mitchell house due to everything Dennis has put him through.
