Review Summary and Plot Commentary about See Spot Run
This was a cute comedy about a young boy named James (Angus James) who ends up being babysat by the loser neighbor named Gordon (David Arquette).
Agent 11 is a canine FBI Dog, who after busting the head of a Mafia crime Family (Paul Sorvino), puts out a "hit" on the Agent 11.
The Dog (Agent 11) escapes en route to the new witness protection location, and ends up with the James (AngusJames)and Gordon.
This is when movie gets going as James, Gordon and Agent 11 aka Spot outwit the mobsters and learn to get along and grow into a family.
