Based on the best-selling book by Garth Stein, The Art Of Racing In The Rain tells the story of Denny Swift (Milo Ventimiglia), a race-car driver looking for his big break.
Narrated by Kevin Costner as the voice of the dog Enzo, we see Denny's life unfolds from the time he picks up Enzo from the litter of cute puppies, to when he meets Eve (Amanda Seyfried), gets married, have a daughter etc.
Enzo, the golden retriever is not the main focus of the film, but it's Denny's family as they face the challenges of life. We hear Enzo's thoughts as he observes the humans, and be part of their lives.
I have seen many movies about dogs, and I can say that this is one of the most emotional. It will pull your heart-strings and make your eyes tear-up. It's a good family drama, a love story, and comedy all rolled into one. After watching the movie, you would want to hug your dog, in case you have one.
Kevin Costner is funny, philosophical, and witty as Enzo. He's an old soul inside the dog's body. Most of the human cast are great. Ventimiglia and Seyfried are both charming and relatable. Ryan Kiera Armstrong who plays their daughter Zoe is lovely.
Written by Mark Bomback and Garth Stein. Directed by Simon Curtis, who also helmed Goodbye Christopher Robin. Rated PG. From 20th Century Fox.
