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

Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Rotten

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?)

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Fresh

Feebly mixes gangster spoof, buddy flick, Home Alone horseplay, animal adventure and wan romance, reeks worse than lead David Arquette after he slips in doggie doo.

Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today
Rotten

See Spot Run, the new movie starring David Arquette is no good. It stinks, it's stupid, it's not funny.

John Zebrowski, Seattle Times
Rotten

The perpetrators of See Spot Run want you to know who in this brutally dumb canine comedy is the idiot. David Arquette aside, depending on how long you stick around, it might be you.

Wesley Morris, San Francisco Chronicle
