The Art of Racing in the Rain (2019 Simon Curtis)

From the director of My Week With Marilyn, but unfortunately not written by Peter Hedges but Mark Bomback (from Garth Stein novel), this film proposes that the dog is as intelligent as we are but can't express it, and loves motor racing. Somehow this didn't really work for me and there are some incredible plot holes, like the fact the dog is left alone for two days, then immediately told off after. Also, the stuff about the zebra is just weird. I didn't unenjoy it, but wouldn't exactly recommend it. It didn't get a UK DVD release. I've a feeling they were after the market that Marley and Me tapped in to.

Milo Ventimiglia, Amanda Seyfried, Kathy Baker, Martin Donovan, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Gary Cole, and Enzo credited as Parker and (older) Butler.
