See Spot Run (2001)

Sick Product of a Sick System

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

See Spot Run (2001): Dir: John Whitesell / Cast: David Arquette, Michael Clarke Duncan, Leslie Bibb, Anthony Anderson, Angus T. Jones: Mindless pile of dog crap with David Arquette as a mailman who hates dogs. Michael Clarke Duncan plays a cop whose dog is sent to a protection outlet when its life is threatened. It ends up at Arquette's after a tag switch and a boy believing it to be his. This leads to a brainless climax where everyone makes a gallant effort to be a moron. Horrible directing by John Whitesell with predictable writing that will result in the dog choosing between owners. What the dog should be doing is choosing a better agent to represent him when it comes to these crap pad scripts. Arquette is terrible as a guy out to impress a female by watching her son thus leading to the idiocy someone labelled as a story. Duncan is unbearable in what is a shame considering his work in The Green Mile. Leslie Bibb is the standard love interest whose best scene has her plastered from head to toe with mud as a bus spins its tires. Anthony Anderson is featured as Arquette's roommate and he is unable to gain a single laugh. Angus T. Jones plays the son of Arguette's neighbour and is more or less used as an opportunity to hook up with her. Corny dog show with a half wit theme regarding responsibility that isn't as strong as it totally imbecilic delivery. This film should be tossed to savage hyenas to be chewed to bits. Score: 0 / 10

When I first saw this movie(See Spot Run) I was 10 years old and myself and my mom decided to go and see this film. A couple of years later I saw it on TV and I had to record it on VHS. So without further ado here is the story.An FBI agent called Murdock(played by the late actor Micheal Clarke Duncan) is on a case in the opening of the film, where this mafia has illegal drugs that they hid in a painting can. So to solve it he sends his dog Agent 11 to sniff around to find the cocaine,and he eventually brings them down,but they later escape. Meanwhile a mailman named Gordon(played by Courtney Cox's ex husband David Arquette who looks an awful lot like Ryan Reynolds here back in 2001) is a dog hater who is cocky and not that pleasant to be around,that is until he has to mind his secret crush's (Lesily Bibb)son(played by Angus T Jones) as she has to go away for a while on some trip. But meanwhile when Agent 11 gets lost as a suspicious woman comes into the FBI working force field to take Agent 11 to Alaska,she switches the tags only for Agent 11 to somehow escape and later meet Gordon and the little boy. As Agent 11 spends some time with Gordon and the little boy,the little pooch has to decide who he wants to stay with and what he wants to do. Either to be a FBI agent dog who can't have some fun,or a household pet with Gordon and the little boy. You can smell the ending A MILE AWAY but still though what do I think of it.Well firstly I think the low rating is appalling I mean it could AT LEAST get a 7.5 out of 10 it was the same for another movie that got a 7.5 out of 10 and 90% in Rotten Tomatoes,See Spot Run got 23% in Rotten Tomatoes,clearly these people aren't kids at heart and they hate dogs like Gordon from the movie.But to be quite honest this film had me in stitches and i'll tell ya one scene that had me laughing so hard,THE PET STORE scene why?? because it was so silly yet hilarious at the same time as the owner of the store was too busy listening to her Walkman to see what is going on in the store as the 2 Mafia men that were after Agent 11(now known as Spot hence the title of the film as he has to run from the FBI and the mafia as he doesn't want to be caught up in a tangled web)were in the store and Gordon was blown up in this bubblegum wrapper with the squeaky voice.So yeah I really enjoyed this movie,is it the best film of all time NO,but do I like it YES I thought it was so hilarious and if you love dog movies then check it out.See Spot Run gets two thumbs up for me.

SEE 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.

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.
