Michael Clarke Duncan filmed two scenes with a broken leg. The scene where he takes Spot away from Gordon and James and the scene where Spot decides to stay with Gordon and James. Any shots of him standing up was a stand-in. See more »

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.
