The Smart One Isn't Wearing Any Pants.
Unleashed March 2
During FBI operation Agent Eleven (Bob), a drug-sniffing dog, happens to bite off a major mobster's manhood. The gangster cuts up quite savage and orders two hit men to murder the dog. To secure the canine agent, the FBI places him in the witness protection program. The dog changes both his owners and his name. Now he is adopted by a postal worker, Gordon Smith (David Arquette), who is not exactly a dog lover. One fine day when Gordon's beautiful neighbor, Stephanie (Leslie Bibb), asks him to baby-sit her son, it is a challenge for Gordon to handle the pet. The super dog makes friends with James (Angus T. Jones), trees the mailman, evades the mobsters' pursuit and gets sympathy of all kids in the neighborhood. "Spot" is full of energy while waiting for his enemies to track down him again. It remains to be seen who will lead a dog's life!

A positive review of See Spot Run
posted on 10 Aug 2009See Spot Run is a hilarious movie. It is a family film perfect for all ages. James (the child) is adorable, as is Spot, the dog. David Arquette is believably clumsy and clueless as Gordon the dog-hating mailman, who as a child was abandoned in a mailbox. Gordon's best friend Benny is one of the funniest people in the movie. This is my favorite movie because it's just so funny! I urge you to see it--if you have kids, this will become a staple in your DVD or video collection, frequently watched!
Get a grip people, it was a comedy.
posted on 06 Apr 2009Man where do these people come from. You weren't watching some deep love story or some in depth drama. It was a comedy! I can't believe all of the bad comments on this movie. It was meant to be fun and funny and it was both. Think about it, would it have been as funny if David Arquette acted serious.I hear people saying that it was the worst movie ever. Give me a break, let your hair down. This movie was enjoyable, not only for kids, but for adults as well. I couldn't stop laughing. Call me simple minded, but I'll probably live about 10 years longer than all of scourers that forgot how to laugh.It was clean and it was funny. All I can say is that the people that put this movie down are probably the same people that loved Me, Myself and Irene. It seems that humor, with no taste, is the trend. As for me, I'm glad we can get back to good clean fun.For those of you who thought it was terrible, fortunately, the Box Office will say differently.
Unfunny, Lame, Terrible Movie
posted on 03 Aug 2008This is one the worst movies ever made. I don't even know why I saw it! This movie sucked! First of all, there were no real famous actors in the film. The story is annoying, and what's worse? Bathroom jokes at their most disgusting! The main dude is climbing up a gutter for a random reason and falls off and into a pile of dog sh*t! Then the police arrive and he's explaining that he has sh*t on his back!! VERY FUNNY!! NOT!!!! I can applaud anyone who enjoys this horrid movie. No offense to the director, he wasted his time and his money because this movie made me wanna sleep. The only good thing was the dog because I am a dog person.But the rest is abysmal. Sorry directors, you wasted time. What you need is a better story and yet more laughs. Think of that next time.
Run Spot Run!!!!
posted on 14 Jul 2008Not a good idea for the youngest children watching; Why? Even if the film is childish and portrays only to young viewers there is something that is awfull. I heard in many cases of parents saying. "It wasn't that bad , my child who is only 4 sat through the whole movie without whinning. . And you wonder why-- Hmm. somehow the image was so strong that the child absorbed all the key moments when David Arquett got beaten up,and slipped and fell on dog doo. The child will have that in his mind for years to come. So perhaps that's why its PG. Plus the plot got pointless through the middle of the movie. I'd say *1/2 out of ****
A Great Film for Kids!
posted on 26 Jun 2008Okay, See Spot Run is not an Oscar winning film nor Golden Globe awards. Okay, it's a fine film for kids really and that's the audience out there with parents and grandparents who take their kids and grandkids to the movie theater. See Spot Run is about a guy who gets a dog and kid played fantastically by Angus T. Jones (he's also on Two and Half Men). JOnes is turning into one of the funniest kids that I have seen in a long time. He knows how to work well adults and animals. The film is about a single guy who inherits a stray dog and a kid whose mother is just gorgeous but she goes away leaving her kid with a stranger (somebody call children services on this mother). Anyway, the kid and the dog bond as they do with the single guy. It's silly at times. There are no serious moments, you don't want any in this film. It would ruin the absolute silliness and fun of this movie.
Very Funny
posted on 16 Jun 2008I bought this movie because it was on sale and my 3 year old grandson loves to watch movies.I had no idea I would enjoy it as much as I did.My grandson fell in love with it.I thought all the actors were great but especially David Arquette.i laughed so hard especially when Gordon kept slipping in the dog doo.The little boy James was adorable and I recomend this movie to anyone of any age.I rate it an 8 out of 10.
Run from 'Spot'
posted on 25 May 2008Unfunny, often inane story of an FBI crime-fighting dog on the run from the mob and catches up with a dopey mailman attempting supervision of a boisterous young boy. 'Turner & Hooch' did this sort of thing far better! I think most children would roll their eyes at this mess. Grade: D
very funny for families with kids 7 and up
posted on 05 May 2008Hey it's not Blazing Saddles or Animal House but this is a funny movie. If you have children aged 7 and above they will enjoy it. I went in expecting it to be pretty lousy and was suprised to find a movie with a decent story line, and acting that wasn't so bad. I have to say there are about 6 or 7 absolutely histerical scenes that adults will enjoy. There is no foul language or nudity. The kid is really good. Arquette is okay. His pal is good. The love interest is a knockout. I have to say I haven't laughed so hard at a movie in a long time.
David Arquette has proven just how funny he is again!
posted on 06 Mar 2008David Arquette is the coolest actor, and I loved this movie. All of my friends and I went and saw this in the theater the day it came out. Picture this a bunch of 14 year olds sitting in the front row laughing harder than anyone else in the whole theater. Well that would have been us. We even got hushed by a group of 5 year olds. We are the biggest fans of David Arquette..so we didn't care if people were looking at us. Anthony Anderson was also hilarious and the little boy was adorable. All you adults on here dissing on this movie shouldn't be, it was aimed for little kids. The kids must have enjoyed it because it was #1 in the Box office and it was totally diserved.
Great Acting by a Bullmastiff
posted on 26 Jul 2007See Spot Run is a silly fun movie in spite of embarrassingly stiff, terrible acting by David Arquette. The movie manages to be funny due to an amazingly good acting by the main character - Spot, played by a bullmastiff dog. Fast pace and several great supporting characters help to keep this movie entertaining. I give this movie a 6 out of 10. . ..
The kids will enjoy it
posted on 16 Nov 2006Hardly breaking any new ground and the direction/cinematography were below average. The characters likeable though and it had its moments for the grownups too.Take your kids (ages 5-12)to see it and they will like the classic gags like the bad guys falling all over the place and getting bitten by dogs. But kids are more sophisticated today and they will outgrow it fast.I wish the dog(s) would be more involved in the movie. It was used more like a prop.You won't miss out if you catch it on cable or video after all.Three stars for some good acting from the co-stars and the likeable face of David Arquette.
A Waste of Time & Film
posted on 29 Sep 2006This movie is horrible, and I doubt they thought different as they put it together. David Arquette continues his moronic and annoying character that we have seen in the majority of his films and his phone commercials. He is pretty much unbearable to watch. Of course I knew that going in and the screening was free (for me), but I almost wanted a refund on the 90 minutes of my life wasted on this awful attempt at a comedy. Please, avoid at all costs, save yourself!
GREAT! JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED.
posted on 08 Apr 2006I thoroughly enjoyed this silly movie. I laughed throughout the entire movie, even with the predictability of many of the jokes. Yes, half way through the movie I realized that it was nothing other than Home Alone, with a dog and an attractive woman, but I still laughed twice as hard as I did with Home Alone. A Great inane Sunday Matinee activity. My girlfriend, who reluctantly attended the movie enjoyed it immensely. The entertainment industry really needs to take notice and make more movies like this, that the entire family can enjoy!To those of you who bashed this movie. Get a life. This movie was slap-stick, that's all. It's sole purpose was to make you laugh. Shame of those of you, and shame on those who stole your childhood and sense of humor.
Run Away From Spot!
posted on 24 Jan 2006I would like to meet the Warner Brothers executive who said, "yea, we'll sign Mr. David Arquette to a film deal." If I met that executive, I would grab that person by the back of their pants and shirt and throw that person out of a ten story building window. And with my guess that person gave David Arquette a film deal because of his wife, Courtney Cox. Maybe it was to cut down her asking price to do another season of FRIENDS? Anyways, SEE SPOT RUN is another film that you wonder why was this film made, and why didn't the money for the cost of this film go to help the hungry in Africa, or cut down the homless factor in America. I think the studios would get better publicity and press by doing humanity work than releasing pieces of garbage like this.
There are so many things wrong with this movie. The plot? Simple, a dog who is the K-9 unit of the FBI caputres mob boss Sonny Talia (Paul Sorvino), causing Sonny to lose one of his testies. Sonny misses his testie, so he has a hit man, Gino (Joe Viterelli) go out and kill the dog, animal rights activists where are you when we need you!!! K-9 goes and hides with a dog hating mailman Gordon (David Arquette) and a little boy (Angus T. Jones) that is the son of a girl that Gordon is trying to impress (Leslie Bibb). And federal agent Murdoch (Michael Clarke Duncan) thinks that the K-9 is in federal protection and doesn't know that the dog's life is in danger. There is your multi-million dollar plot! And it cost a lot less money to buy the scripts of such movies as RESERVOIR DOGS, DESPERADO, CROUCHING TIGER, and even TITANIC!!!!
Why oh why do studio executives greenlight these films?!?!? Simple, they see a dollar product. "Good, bad, who cares? Let's just see how much money it will make." Says the nasty executive, "and when it's out on video, let's make a copy of it be $14.99 so every house hold in America will own a copy." Hey, every house hold in America already has a piece of garbage in their houses, and the garbage man comes by weekly to pick it up. Why would anyone want to take home garbage?
What ittitaes me first is seeing good actors like Michael Clarke Duncan, Anthony Andersen, Paul Sorvino, and Joe Viterelli in this film. I don't know why the talented Andersen is doing bad movies, he's very talented, he should be staring in films of his own. Michael Clarke Duncan, well, he'll be forgiven since he's going to be in PLANET OF THE APES later this summer. But Paul Sorvino and Joe Viterelli aren't so lucky. They are casted, again, as mafia men, which is another example of Hollywood cast-typing. How could Paul Sorvino eleven years later go from doing GOODFELLAS to this? And how could Joe Viterelli go from doing ANALYZE THIS to...well, this? As for Mr. 1-800-CALL-ATT? I have to agree with one of the writers of Entertainment Weekly, David Arquette should have his own one man version of SURVIVOR, and be left on that island alone forever.
And why, oh why does this film make more money that CHOCOLATE, REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, WONDER BOYS, and ALMOST FAMOUS?!?!?! Gee, it's just showing the rest of the world what idiots some America audiences are. And we critize France for enjoying Jerry Lewis. Well, I would give anything to see Jerry Lewis do his, "hey ladies!" than seeing Arquette dance the "George Jefferson" or the "E.T."
It's only March of 2001, and we already have one of the worst movies of the year. But that's no surprise, I mean READY TO RUMBLE, BABY GENIUSES, WING COMMANDER, and SPICE WORLD all were released in early seasons of the year. But this film will be remembered by the end of the year, as it makes a ton of critics top ten worst films list of the year. This film, along with DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR? makes BATTLEFIELD EARTH look like Masterpiece Theater. Avoid this film at all costs, unless you're asking for a sucidal death wish. * (out of five)
It was a free library loan, OK! That's why I watched it.
posted on 22 Jan 2006SEE SPOT RUN is not a good movie, but we did laugh at many of the antics. Spot is a highly trained police dog that is being transported to a remote location, Alaska, because a mob boss (Sorvino) has put out a hit on him. But Spot escapes and is adopted by a man (Arquette) who is watching a neighbor's (Bibb) son for a couple of days when the babysitter got sick. The antics that ensue involve too many scenes of destroying things, or people ending up in dog poo, and other such juvenile humor. The critic Ebert has a complete and accurate review. The DVD picture and sound are good, but the movie has little redeeming value. However, it does contain some of my favorite gangster types in Joe Viterelli and Paul Sorvino. The pretty mom, played by Stephanie Bibb, looks remarkably like the blonde who played Nomi in Showgirls.
Just commenting of S.S.R.
posted on 08 Oct 2005See Spot Run(SSR) was an ok movie. Would I recommend it? ONLY for young kids. That is what this movie is geared too. I saw it and it didn't appeal to me at all. Yes, there may have been some funny parts but the movie was designed for kids.(hence the PG rating)--ox
JUST PLAIN FUN!
posted on 20 Jun 2005A 'kids' film for children of all ages! I sat in a crowded theatre listening to all the children totally enjoying themselves and I found it quite enjoyable, myself! I thought it was very cute and funny. I, too, suspected that Arquette might be 'annoying' but was surprised to find that I had a better appreciation for him after viewing this film.
This is the funniest movie EVER!
posted on 08 Jun 2005How can you guys say this movie is bad it's soo good and funny! My dad even laughed at it and it takes a pretty funny movie to get him to laugh he laughed a lot at it I would recommend this movie for anyone that needs a good laugh my favorite part is when he gets locked out of his house and lands in dog poop or the part where he's in the pet store it's soo funny me and my family watched this at our Easter party and everyone was laughing at it I don't know what your guys problem is this movie is GREAT!
Deep poopy grass
posted on 07 Apr 2005When I was still working, and a guy really screwed up, we would say"Well, he's in deep poopy grass now!"This movie defines that term. David Arquette walks in it, falls in it, and ultimately undresses to wipe it off. All of which is funny funny physical comedy. I used to think he was just a stupid geek, and wondered what Courteney Cox saw in him, but he looks like a nice guy, and he really does physical stuff well.Since I don't have any 6 to 8 year olds around to tell me that this is all old stuff -- especially the dog training collar controlled by a five-year-old -- I had a really good time watching it. Better than "dumb and dumber" -- which is just plain embarassing. At least this one is obviously aimed at little ones.However, I did sneak a peak or two at Leslie Bibb after she'd been through the sprinkers, and she looked pretty good to me.
Puerile Postman teaches Police Pooch to Play
posted on 30 Aug 2009Think "Dumb and Dumber" meets "Big Daddy" all while trying to break a repressed ex-FBI pooch out of it's shell. If you're looking for an Oscar winner then go see some critically acclaimed waste of time. If you want to laugh yourself silly with some kids then this is a decent rental.
