I loved this movie. The dog was saying what he felt.... just as I imagine my dogs inner voice of love for me. Losing 3 of my dogs this year, this movie was hard for me to watch. I cried... and then cried some more.... it was sad and beautiful. Milo Ventimiglia is a good actor.... he did a great job portraying what every dog owner feels. Kevin Costner was a great voice. I loved the movie and highly recommend it. But first get the tissues and your furry children and hold them close as you watch.

I should preface this review by saying that, based on the rave reviews of friends (and strangers), I looked forward to seeing this movie, so, it has a faithful fan base who were of the opinion that the movie full justice to the book. The story was interesting (I was forewarned that tissues might be required). I truly believe that there is not another actor that better portrays the complete, self-sacrificing devotion of a man for a woman than does Milo Ventimiglia (I've believed in him since Jessie in GILMORE GIRLS). Amanda Seyfried is a harder sell for me, though, so that prejudice may have soured the love story for me somewhat. I did, however, learn a lot about racing and driving. The author certainly knew his stuff and was expert in spinning it's metaphors. The love of a man and the devotion of a dog were winsome. The treachery and heartbreak were moving, so the magic was not totally lost on me. I give this film a 7 (good) out of 10, and if you need further encouragement to see it, my bookish friend has told me, “Nancy, I would give it 11/10! I went to see it again. For me, it was about Enzo, the dog who wanted to be "people" and the incredible bond between dogs and their families.” So, there you have it! [Drama]

That was a lovely film with lots of heart along with emotions and with a dog with lots of knowledge that really didn’t make sense but was funny and also good cast.

It's rarefied air when you come across a movie that deals with the lifetime of joy and companionship a dog provides. I cried less than Marley & Me but I think this is a sweeter film. The voicing is fantastic. What a sweet and delightful yet ultimately heartbreaking film. Well worth your time. 8.5/10
