Summary: Sporadically Funny Canine Comedy: At Least, the Dog Is Funny
Review: The best part of "See Spot Run" is its star, but not David "Ready to Rumble" Arquette. Its real star is Bob the Mastiff, who plays the role of Agent 11, the ace investigator of FBI. At least, I found the dog is most recommendable.

Don't think about the story. Though it seems five writers are involved, there is none that the film can be proud of. It is basically about the relations between the dog and a boy, who is in charge of a bumbling mailman Arquette. The plot is full of corny situations, which is concocted in order to display many physical gags. Some of them are genuinely funny, but mostly they are made of clithe, stretched beyond our belief, and many of them are simple, traditional ones like throwing dirt into the face of unlucky passer-by, or simpler ones like so-called toilet humor. No wonder critics disliked the film.

But there is some merits here. Michael Clarke Duncan (the kind-hearted convict in "The Green Mile") is acquited, playing a chief FBI dog trainer, who loves Spot the Dog aka. Agent 11 very much. Perhaps because his (Cleake's) good-natured character is telegraphed to us, his relation with the canine agent makes us smile. Arquette is making full use of his body, showing slapstick turns you can think of, and some of them are funny (see his "ET" walk.) But as we come to realize the pointless situation surrounding his character (Why mailman? Why in love with Leslie Bibb? Why a dog? And Why a gangster Paul Sorvino?), we, I mean adults, soon get bored.

Maybe kids feel differently. But the kids cannot be underestimated. They know sooner or later there is other films like "Turner and Hooch" (though not that good, you can see another mastiff with Tom Hanks), "Beethoven" and many others that feature dogs. Until then, "Spot" will do. ...

Summary: Very funny movie!
Review: The initial reviews I read about this movie when it came out were not very positive and so I wasn't planning on seeing it in the theater. A good friend of mine invited me to go along with him and his family and kids and so I decided it would be fun to go just to hang out with them.

I was so glad I went. I laughed sooooo hard! Then I invited my friend Matt to go and we went and laughed our brains out some more. I actually saw the movie again after that and it was just as funny as the first time. I like good slapstick and "stupid" humor and this one just nailed me on both ends. It had a little bit of everything in it; action, humor, romance, did I mention humor (hehehe). I will most certainly buy the DVD when it's available and have fun watching this one over again.

Not only is the movie funny, but it promotes family values and is great for kids and adults alike. Highly recommended no matter your age range. Good stuff! Rare to see something really funny and entertaining from Hollywood that doesn't leave you feeling crappy after walking out of the theater. You'll be smiling all the way. :)

Summary: A Hillarious Movie!
Review: This movie is great!! I loved to plot: A mail carrier in his twenties is in love with a girl living next to his apartment. (Who happens to be played by Mandy Moore.) He tries to impress her by taking care of her son, James, while she's away. He "accidentally" gives James a dog that also belongs to the FBI. What should he do? Take away the dog and make James hate him, or let him keep it and possibly make his girlfriend mad? You'll see what happens in this REALLY FUNNY movie if you get it. It's well worth the money!

Review: This movie is hillarious, there are working classes, herding classes, and sporting classes, but there is a new class called the FBI-like class.
This even has a great cast: David Arquette, Michael Clarke Duncan, Leslie Bibb, Joe Viterelli, Angus T. Jones, Anthony Anderson, and Paul Sorvino. I give this 5 stars
