If you loved Dennis the Menace, try Major Payne

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Nick Castle, and they sit in Comedy / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to Dennis the Menace, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Major Payne is

Major Payne attempts to trade guns for grades. A career Marine leads a school's JROTC program. He brings battlefield intensity to adolescence.
