By Paul Perkins.
Everyday someone is going into witness protection. See Spot Run centers on one person, or should I say, dog. This is a film about an FBI agent #11, who has the best nose at finding hidden drugs. You might be asking, what is he? He is a dog. He and his partner Murdoch (Michael Clark Duncan) have the biggest assignment: Capture Sonny Talia (Paul Sorvino). But, just when they thought they had him, he escapes. Sonny puts a hit on Agent 11. In order to keep low, Agent 11 joins the witness protection service.
On the way to the program, he escapes and finds unlikely refuge with young mailman Gordon Smith (David Arquette) and the boy he is babysitting (Angust Jones); all in the heart of suburbia. Both of their lives are about to be changed - big time!
I have seen a lot of movies over my 27 years. I have seen some funny dog movies, like Beethoven, Turner and Hooch, and K-9. See Spot Run can be added to that list. This was a funny movie. Let me tell you about the goods and the bad.
Goods: 1. The story was funny. It was different that I thought it would be. It is a film that everyone will love. 2. The cast was good. 3. The film did not drag at all. 3. The mob boss and henchman had some funny parents. 4. The ending was good. I like the idea of the film. 4. A couple of scenes were not good for kids to see. They had adult themes in them.
For example, the scene involving the mob boss and two parts of his body getting damaged. It had another Do-Do jokes, which a lot of films have had this past year. Enough with the jokes. They are funny the first time but now they are getting old.
Overall, See Spot Run was a funny film. It's a film for the whole family. Go see it and enjoy yourself at the movies.
