Lost and Found (1999): Dir: Jeff Pollack / Cast: David Spade, Sophie Marceau, Artie Lange, Ever Carradine, Martin Sheen: Dreary and boring comedy low on laughs and high on stupidity. Why David Spade does what he does here demands and explanation because he could have solved everything with a visit and the right words. Title regards a lost dog while symbolizing finding love. David Spade just ended a relationship and now struggles to obtain a loan for a restaurant he intends to open. He soon falls for a French cello player played by Sophie Marceau but he is unable to talk to her due to her meddling ex-boyfriend. He steals her dog so that he may join her in searching for it but when it swallows a friend's engagement ring he must keep it longer. Stupid and predictable dog show directed to uninspired effect by Jeff Pollack who also made Booty Call. Spade plays his usual idiot persona who follows the dog around before he and best friend Artie Lange search through crap for the ring. Marceau is totally out of place in this low grade trash. Lange comes off as irritating, and Ever Carradine is also featured. What is most distressing and that Martin Sheen is part of this garbage. For a guy who starred in one of the best war movies, this is sad. Perhaps Pollack should have searched for a decent screenwriter because whoever penned this dreck was certainly lost. Worthless and pointless comedy that should be buried with the ring. Score: 1 / 10
