Just so...so bad
I really don't get the hype.
Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
It's basic plot is about the mob trying to carry out a hit on an FBI agent, that FBI agent just happens to be a dog. Of course the dog ends up in the back of a postal workers (Arquette) truck, who just happens to be reluctantly looking after his hot neighbor's kid who he's trying to hook up with. This is a fish out of water type comedy with Arquette not knowing what to do with either a boy or a dog, as well as the dog being a very serious dog who has been forbidden to play his whole life but whose police instinct kick in every time he sees a crime going down. Thrown in some Home Alone type bumbling hit men who get outwitted by the dog time and time again. Scenes with the mother tying to call/get home are also quite funny. The pet store scenes are the best, although cheesy they are lots of fun, don't get up to use the bathroom or anything when they arrive there."See Spot Run" is a laugh-a-minute movie in every sense of the word. Certain characters are over-acted to perfection (see Agent 11's handler and Mr Arquette's neurotic dog-hating character) while others are played straight with equally good results. This movie is hilarious, while also managing a touching feel-good finish. This is one film you can watch over and over, and never get sick of.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.
As a child I loved watching this movie and regarded it as one of my favourites, though recently I watched it again it was actually a delight to watch, the jokes are quite varied and usually funny, the slapstick style of humour can get a bit dry at times as David Arquettes keeps running into mishaps.The storyline it self is relatively boring and generic though this does not mean it cant be an enjoyable experience, the humour (especially for a kids movie) is spot on (get it? spot on?... anyway) and surprisingly the acting is not the worst, in my honest opinion it is underrated sometimes due to it's relatively not well known cast.Definitely a movie I would recommend.
I like films about dogs that are smarter than people, mainly because the way the world is going, it seems to be true!Having said that, this is - and always was going to be - a feel good movie. Even the baddies are suitably laughable that you can like them. And of course, the dogs are all great. Especially the mad terrier that attaches itself to peoples backs and wont let go.Only disappointment was that the FBI agent was obviously very attached to his dog and after emphasizing that so much, the dog's choice was too clean and too child-oriented. The dog should have dithered a lot more.The night-experience with doggy-doos was wonderful.
this movie was very, very cute. I liked it and i even laughed at some parts, it was a good story outline but kind of i dont know, annoying i guess, David Arquette and The Little Boy did a great job playing their parts, i give it a 7/10.
