Summary: I'd rather. . .my self then watch this movie again
Review: I saw this movie at my friends house. I didn't laugh at anything. Not even once. The whole movie is based on a Dog. A Dog that somehow knows english. It is just a HORRIBLE MOVIE. Why doesn't Amazon have a 0 star rating! This movie deserves -10000 stars!

Summary: The people who made this need to be on a leash
Review: I try to find good things in every movie by considering all the various elements involved - script, acting, music, pacing, direction, photography, etc. Sometimes, almost nothing good exists, as in the case of See Spot Run, which is a dog of a movie. Perhaps the worst thing about it is its claim of being a family movie. I doubt there is anything especially harmful in it, but I have seen R-rated gross out comedies with less emphasis on bathroom humor bodily functions. I don't think using such material has much to do with the idea that kids are more worldly than they used to be. I think it has to do with Hollywood filmmakers who are out of touch with their audience and with Roger Ebert's assertion that society's tastes seem to have fallen to the level of the whoopee cushion.

The movie's thin plot revolves around Gordon [David Arquette], a postman whom you would not want delivering your mail, and Agent 11, a dog trained by the FBI's Canine Unit. The dog is far better at his job than the postman. In fact, he's so effective that a gangster has taken out a hit on him. It seems Agent 11 has cost him $22,000,000. It has also damaged some very personal parts of his anatomy. Across town, George has fallen for his neighbor, Stephanie [Leslie Bibb], who has sensibly thwarted his advances. When she is called away on business, George gets stuck taking care of her young son, James [Angus T. Jones], after the baby-sitter doesn't show up. Meanwhile, Agent 11 makes his escape from a pair of goofy hit men, and Gordon, oblivious to the dog's dilemma, as well as to almost everything else going on around him, winds up with the clever pooch. He's stuck with a precocious kid, a dog that doesn't know how to have fun, and those inept killers. Lucky for him he's eternally clueless, I suppose.

I have rarely seen a movie with so many lost opportunities. It invariably sticks with tried and true cliches that even the average eight year old is tired of. Rather than making the effort to come up with some truly funny lines and situations, Its writers fall back on stupid jokes involving passing gas and things animals naturally do to fertilize the ground. Done once or twice, such jokes can be amusing, especially if they are unexpected. Done six or seven times, they are embarrassing for the writers since they imply that these people have limited talents and are stuck in the most infantile areas of humor. There is also a running joke about the gangster that will elude children but seem plain dumb to most adults. Only once is any event seen through the dog's eyes, though I think that Agent 11's take on things could have been quite funny. Again, the writers dropped the ball.

Arquette literally falls on his face here over and over trying to get laughs. He is never very funny. I've seen him do some good acting in the past, but this time all he proves is that he's no Jim Carrey. The rest of the cast does better with what little there is to work with.

It doesn't bother me too much that Hollywood makes so few movies for kids these days. They are deluged with too much entertainment as it is. It does bother me that, outside of animated films, Hollywood doesn't remember how to make one.

Summary: Funny, Funny, Funny!
Review: If you like comedy, you'll love this movie! It has great slapstick humor combined with a touching story about a boy that becomes attached to a lost FBI dog. The dog helps catch two big league crime bosses and then has to choose between serving with the FBI or staying with the boy.

Summary: It's not THAT bad
Review: In "See Spot Run," David Arquette stars as a bewildered mailman named Gordon who unwillingly runs into and starts keeping a dog named Spot, while also babysitting the son of the woman (Leslie Bibb) he has a crush on. Little does Gordon and the boy know that Spot just happens to be an FBI dog with a nose for mischievous people.

Ok, let me start by saying that the rumors you've probably heard by now are true. "See Spot Run" is TERRIBLE plot-wise, script wise, and so on. Parts, such as the story, are so terrible that some people might give up on it before they even finish watching it. Luckily for myself, I don't put most of the emphasis on a movie's script, story, etc., when I'm watching it and giving it my thoughts in a review. I mainly judge movies, especially comedies, by how entertaining they are.

"See Spot Run" has a bunch of parts that are simply hilarious. Whether Gordon is getting too familiar with a slop of dog feces or a zebra causes an explosion, "See Spot Run" is hilarious.

If you like comedy films just as long as they're funny, then I recommend getting "See Spot Run."

Summary: This is the dummest!
Review: Please don't watch this unintelligent movie!!!!!! I can't put into words how stupid it is. It may have a few amusing parts but it is all based on crudity and plain stupidity. Why would anyone want to waste their time watching a bunch of stupid and sloppy humans? Good grief, don't we see enough of that in real life? Please, if you're looking for good comedy go with an older, time proven classic. This is one big waste of time! Liberals, people with low I.Q., and politcally correct followers will love this movie! As for the rest of us, skip this brainless movie.

Summary: Bad, Bad, Bad
Review: See Spot Run has to be the most unintelligent movie I have seen since the Sixth Sense. This movie is just a reason to have David Arquette run around being a spastic idiot for and hour and a half. The real stumper here is why the dog is the best actor in the film. Michael Clarke Duncan, Oscar Nominee, is in this film, but why? All he does is cry about not having his dog. And he does little to show that he wants the mutt back.

This movie starts out with a bang, a spoof of mafia activity, and you can tell it is all down hill from here. I have seen enough dog movies in my day to tell that this is not the type of cute, lovable animal that anyone would want back. He is a big, ugly dog that just is the center of all the torment that David Arquette can throw at him.

I feel sorry for anyone in this movie, and more importantly to anyone who had to see this movie. I saw it for free, but i can still complain. It is bad. Kids will not like it, they will even think it is juvenile and unfunny. Give me Turner and Hooch anyday.
