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.
