Gordon Smith (David Arquette) is an offbeat mailman who has never met a dog he couldn't handle. When he offers to baby-sit James (Angus T. Jones), the young son of his beautiful neighbor Stephanie (Leslie Bibb), he's hoping she'll return his romantic interest. Gordon meets his match: a crime fighting super dog who has just escaped from a witness protection program with local mobsters and his owner FBI agent (Michael Clarke Duncan), in hot pursuit.

Critics Consensus

See Spot Run has all the elements chidren enjoy in a movie: a lovable dog, bad things happening to stupid adults, and lots of dog poop. For adults, it's either hit-or-miss.

Adults will find little to entertain them, but at least it's not an ordeal to sit through.

Rated: 2.5/4

Globe and Mail

There are eight credited writers on this rapidly paced jumble of a movie, which could be a record. (You have to wonder: What movie titles did this octet of high foreheads reject?)

Filme bacaninha, o roteiro é mais ou menos, as cenas são bacaninhas, os personagens até que dão um pequena ajuda no filme, mas não melhora tanto o filme, e os vilões são fracos, com tudo isso, eu até recomendo esse filme de cinema em casa do SBT.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
