Directed by Simon Curtis, The Art of Racing in the Rain is based on Garth Stein’s bestseller. Kevin Costner narrates the witty, heartfelt, and philosophical dog named Enzo.
Enzo gets to know his owner, Denny Swift, played by Milo Ventimiglia, while he develops his career as a Formula One race car driver. Enzo gains tremendous insight into the human condition. He discovers that the same techniques on the racetrack can be applied to life.
The movie is available on Blu-ray or DVD; you can download or stream it. People embraced the book, and the film received mixed reviews but was entertaining.
The movie accompanies Enzo as the story follows Swift and the loves of his life – his wife, Eve, played by Amanda Seyfried, and their young daughter, Zoe, played by Ryan Kiera Armstrong. Ultimately, the story is about Swift’s best friend, Enzo.
Enzo, a wise old dog, inspires dog lovers with his thoughts about life experiences. Ultimately, they prepare him to protect his family when they need him the most.
Curtis’s impressive directing credits include My Week With Marilyn, Woman in Gold, and Goodbye Christopher Robin.
The movie also stars Gary Cole, Kathy Baker, and Martin Donovan.
Bring plenty of tissues to the movie. The movie trailer is a tearjerker.
The camera angles from the dog’s point of view help keep the movie engaging. The clip is about the couple meeting for the first time – a good scene to watch.
The best way I can describe the “Pick of the Litter” clip is it relaxed me. The movie seems refreshing and delightful, and this clip proves it.
The following clip seems like a Hallmark movie with the intensity of racing at a low grade.
The featurette explains the relationship between Denny and Enzo — universal.
The movie clip is adorable. Kevin Costner’s narration is endearing and heartfelt.
