Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

A family film for an era when "family film" means scatological jokes, gratuitous violence, and shapeless storytelling, See Spot Run is about par for the course. Punctuated by many a lowbrow moment (scenes of combustible zebra flatulence, for instance), Spot has trouble staying true to its major story line despite the latter's redeeming qualities. That story concerns an FBI-trained bull mastiff who flees the wrath of a mobster (Paul Sorvino) and ends up in the care of a pooch-averse postman (David Arquette) and the latter's little neighbor (Angus T. Jones). With a nutball like Arquette in the lead (and vigorous support work from comic Anthony Anderson of Me, Myself, and Irene), the antics come fast and furious, including a wild bit of slapstick in which Arquette simultaneously gets his head stuck in a fishbowl and his body densely wrapped in helium-inflated plastic. On the other hand, there's a touching simplicity to the relationship between man and canine, each of whom has been terribly lonely in his own way. Sure, the filmmakers went for some cheap laughs, but there is much else here that is harder-earned. --Tom Keogh

3.0 out of 5 stars DOG'S BEST FRIEND, March 14, 2006

By	Michael Butts (Martinsburg, WV USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Is SEE SPOT RUN a great movie? NOT REALLY. Is it entertaining? Yes, I must admit it made me laugh quite a bit. It's really a slapstick farce with a blonde David Arquette mugging it up like the world was coming to an end. He plays a dog-fearing mailman who has his own devices to elude the dogs on Bleeker Street, "Canine Alley." Agent 11, a canine FBI agent, is targeted by mob boss Paul Sorvino (humorously so), so he is sent to witness protection for canines in Alaska, or he's supposed to be. A crooked agent sets 11 up, and the mob's hit men (especially funny is the late Joe Viterelli who plays mobsters with unabashed fun) go after the dog to kill him. 11 manages to escape to where else? Arquette's mail truck, where he is instantly adored by cute little Angus T. Jones, the son of the hottie (Leslie Bibb) Arquette is mooning over.
Michael Clarke Duncan has nice moments as 11's "partner" who can't seem to function without the pooch in his life. There are lots of predictable gags and even though the showdown in the pet store is incredibly goofy, it is funny. So if it makes you laugh, it succeeds as entertainment if not a great film!

1.0 out of 5 stars You will being seeing spots after this tragedy!, November 29, 2001

By	Torrence Ohume "Torrence Ohume" (Bulgaria, Ohio) - See all my reviews

What kind of a movie would a mentally slow bagger at the local Stop & Shop write, if he could write? 'See Spot Run' is the answer. This tells the story of an idiot who befriends a dog. (...) If you are thinking about having triple by-pass surgery for fun one night, I would suggest that you eat a lardy cheeseburger before it, to try and complicate the process. That experience is more fun than watching this movie.

1.0 out of 5 stars Roll over and play DEAD!!, September 2, 2001

By	Juli A. Flynn "jflynn9697" (Westlake Village, CA USA) - See all my reviews

What was David Arquette thinking? I loved him in "Ready to Rumble". It was stupid, but you just had to laugh. I was hoping for the same in this movie, and was sadly disappointed. The best thing about this movie is the dog. The dog was great. The rest of the movie unfortunately was not. A waste of good talent.
