Here’s my “Quick and Dirty Review” of “The Art of Racing in the Rain.”
Eh, noOkay, I went into this with lowered expectations. You know, I was thinking "okay here's another sappy dog movie designed to make me cry." Turns out they did a great job of making the dog feel real and intelligent, to the point where you're wishing he could talk and express himself better.
Well worth a watch, this is one of the better films of 2019. Some of the parts were overwritten, and some of the dog's complicated language and remembrances took me temporarily out of the movie, but it was all worth it. Can a dog be a race car driver? Nope, something that frustrated Enzo to no end. Can he WANT to be a race car driver, and apply what he's learned to his dog life? Sure. Give this one a watch--you'll either love it or you are dead inside. Of course, if it had been about a cat, I might not have liked it so much... 7 out of 10.
