That was an excellent one.

It is a performances centric movie

Awesome Movie

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

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.

Blatantly ridiculous. Decorated, heroic canine (who apparently has the strength of a large man and understands the entire English language) is separated from the FBI and ends up with an unwashed postal carrier and the little boy he's currently babysitting. David Arquette, talking like the first white hip-hop mailman, sputters about trying to be zany, and fares even worse when the paltry script suddenly requires him to be paternal to the kid (who is either giggling or sulking). The sub-plot about mob boss Paul Sorvino putting out a hit on the dog actually provides the brightest moments, and hit-men Joe Viterelli and Steve Schirripa are able to come up with some funny repartee. Restless kids may go for it, and it isn't a completely shoddy production. *1/2 from ****

I actually thought the movie was pretty good. But first let me emphasize, that it really helps if you come to this film with no other preconceived notion other than that it is intended as a rather light, perhaps kid- or family-oriented sort of entertainment. It never set out to be a "Schindler's List" or a "Gone With the Wind". But it still delivers some quality goods.I thought the film had some quality film-making behind it. The cinematography was just fine, the setting was beautiful (filmed in and around beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia - a city I've been lucky enough to visit more than once in my life), and the actors were all (to me, anyway) quite likable and enjoyable in their roles.David Arquette, whom you wouldn't ordinarily consider a comic, in fact does surprisingly well with the physical and often-times slapstick humor in the film. Michael Clark Duncan is really the sympathetic character here, playing a HUGE (and highly muscular) FBI agent who has an almost over-the-top attachment to the dog. The kid, played by Angus T. Jones, is really quite adorable, in fact I was surprised at how winning a personality he has (I don't always like child actors, sometimes they can be horrendous brats, but this kid was truly exceptional). The kid's mom, Stephanie, played by Leslie Bibb, was also quite charming (and always good to look at, even when she was covered in mud). Anthony Anderson, whom many of you may remember as Jamaal Baileygates (one of Jim Carrey's sons in "Me, Myself and Irene") was extremely likable, and I was glad to see him in a role where he was not required to resort to vulgar language like he did in "Me, Myself and Irene".Other roles in the film were also very well played. And last but not least, let's not forget the dog himself, who was at least as compelling as any or all of the other members of the cast. How they trained the dog to do some of those stunts that he did is way beyond me!This movie will probably best be enjoyed by families with young kids, and also by dog-lovers, as this film definitely made man's best friend look really, really good (in spite of the fact that they had about a whole five minute sequence devoted to the hilarious consequences of someone stepping in dog-doo at precisely the wrong time...).So if you want a thoroughly enjoyable light comedy with a dog theme, go rent it: you won't be barking up the wrong tree, I guarantee it.

Incredibly bad movie about a numbskull mailman (It's David Arquette! Of course he's not going to be Einstein!) who has to look after his neighbor's kid, and then finds himself also taking care of a big slobbering mutt targeted by mobsters.Almost as bad (if not worse) than this year's Kangaroo Crap...er, Jack. Will mostly likely appeal to young pre-teen boys between nine and eleven who have generously donated the left half of their brain to science.
