“He’s more person than dog,” Denny explains to her. It’s tested first when Denny meets Eve (Amanda Seyfried), who takes a while for Eve to warm up to Enzo. Over the next decade and more, their loyalty and companionship endures through good times and bad. And it’s told from the perspective of Enzo (voiced by Kevin Costner), a golden retriever adopted as a puppy by Denny (Milo Ventimiglia), a fledgling race-car driver with an aptitude for driving on wet tracks. It’s a saga of life, death, and the supportive role pets play in a family unit. However, only the most cold-hearted cynics won’t be at least mildly touched by this big-screen adaptation of the bestselling Garth Stein novel, even if it ultimately tugs too aggressively at the heartstrings. As the latest in a recent glut of films exploring the devoted bond between humans and dogs, The Art of Racing in the Rain has its target audience in legions of canine aficionados who can relate.
