Reviews
Develiker terrible... so disappointed.
BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Kingslaay See Spot Run is a very enjoyable and decent feel good movie. The plot is somewhat believable and it doesn't go too far in insulting the viewer's intelligence. There are also some sentimental moments in the film where David and Angus T Jones bond and do their hair together. The comedy is well performed and strikes home. The end was also satisfying as it did not show a cheesy and unnecessary romance in the end with the two getting to know each other. Some of the obvious flaws is showing the dog's ability to outperform the mafia hit men in the store while everyone else is distracted. The mafia's inability to whack the dog could have actually worked and be believable. Overall a decent and light hearted film that was enjoyable and should leave viewers satisfied.
Syl Okay, 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.
DougcjMcD This is a very simple plot that even young children can follow. This film breaks the rule for many actors in not working with young kids or animals. My family and I really enjoyed it. If you are looking for something deep and meaningful then look elsewhere but if you want slapstick then this is for you. There is a very funny scene involving Spot's output and the catastrophe's that happen to the kid's mum (the gorgeous Leslie Bibb) who is also the love object for David Arquette, are very amusing. I think that the actors in this film must have enjoyed playing their parts and didn't take themselves too seriously. Overall this is not a demanding movie but just some good light-hearted fun and you will be crying with laughter.
bjbjmca This is a good movie. Sorry it isn't for everyone. The actors act and the director directed. Funny sequences were funny. The theater was filled with laughter. Isn't that what living is about. True laughter and tears? David Arquette has found a fan. Thank the makers of this movie for not being pretentious.
