If
your kids could enjoy some goo humour with a mafia don's
testicles bitten off and replaced by ball bearings, this
may still not make up for some timepass entertainment
this summer. The film leaves a lot to be desired as
regards humour and instead just looks at some crass
humour to keep it together. For example, Gordon slipping
on Spot's crap and suchlike.
David
Arquette is silly and somewhat irritating and kid Angus
is precocious. Some of their scenes together though are
a highlight. For instance, when James, who is normally
fed on a diet of health food, indulges in sugar cereal
and Pepsi while his mom's away. The dog, Spot after whom
the film is ironically named has really nothing to do.
And one might think the film could have even been
entertaining, had his been a substantial role. Instead,
relying on David Arquette to do the honours only serves
to worsen the ordeal that 'See Spot Run' is.
In
the end, not worthy of your time and money. As for the
kids, well, they might just hate you for it. Or then,
may be not! You'll just have to a big risk there to find
out.
