Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

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 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.

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.
