Official Trailer For "The Art Of Racing In The Rain"

What did I just watch? Talk about taking liberties whole naming a film! This wasn't even close to what I was expecting when I started watching this trailer. Staring Milo Ventimiglia, Amanda Seyfried, & the voice of Kevin Costner, I almost don't even want to talk about it for fear of ruining the surprise I got while watching. What I thought was going to be a racing trailer abruptly turns into a story about a racer's life told through the eyes of a dog voiced by Costner. I don't even know what to think about this one. As if I didn't know it was based on a novel, this is one of the many films I'd love to be in the initial pitch room for. Based on a best seller by Garth Stein,  the official synopsis goes, "Based on the best-selling novel by Garth Stein, THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN is a heartfelt tale narrated by a witty and philosophical dog named Enzo (voiced by Kevin Costner). Through his bond with his owner, Denny Swift (Milo Ventimiglia), an aspiring Formula One race car driver, Enzo has gained tremendous insight into the human condition and understands that the techniques needed on the racetrack can also be used to successfully navigate the journey of life. The film follows Denny and the loves of his life - his wife, Eve (Amanda Seyfried), their young daughter Zoe (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), and ultimately, his true best friend, Enzo." As strange as it seems, it looks like it could be a really cute, heartwarming film. Especially for dog lovers. Which we've proved time & again have a major film turnout. Hopefully we skip the inevitable dog ending we seem to always get. Chances have proved to be slim on that hope though. Anyway, what did y'all think of this strangely named story? Put it in the comments, like, & shate.
