You can
imagine those film executives in pre-production. "OK
guys, what ingredients do we need if we're doing a story about
a dog."
"How
about a cute kid." "And a love interest." "What
about a bad guy." "And someone who's really simple
but nice all the same."
|
Cute
Kid... |
"Great,
sounds like we've got a hit."
Wrong.
See Spot Run contains all these ingredients and is
dismal beyond belief.
David
Arquette is the dim guy. He's a postman who hates dogs so
it's no surprise when a dog comes into his life. Ho ho, what
slapstick humour such a pairing will produce!
|
..cute
dog. But not a cute movie |
Then there's
the kid who likes the dog and just happens to have a mum whom
Arquette fancies like mad. Love interest. What a winner!
But what's
this, the dog works for the FBI sniffing out drugs and there's
a henchman trying to kill the slobbery canine.
Enough's
enough. With Pearl Harbour just around the corner See
Spot Run should be out of breath pretty soon.
Not soon
enough.
