Kevin Costner is the voice of the dog-narrator and Milo Ventimiglia is his human in Simon Curtis’ drama about life, death, family and race cars.
Endless expository voiceover by a dog is just as tiresome as wall-to-wall narration by a human, even when that dog has the comforting, raspy voice of Kevin Costner. That’s the lesson of Simon Curtis’ weepy drama. Shaped by a near-constant monologue from a golden retriever named Enzo,is watchable but flat, with only occasional flashes of wit and feeling.
The dog-thinking-out-loud concept is not the big problem. What the dog says is. His observations are meant to be humorously philosophical, and they have their moments. Enzo watches a documentary about Mongolia and learns that dogs can be reincarnated as humans. He suddenly has a goal. But usually his language is grandiose and dull, such as, “I spent a sleepless night contemplating what Denny had just said.
We’re well into the film before Enzo shuts up for a minute or two, and it’s a relief to hear humans talk to each other, however briefly. Denny is an easy fit for Ventimiglia, who channels his role as Jack onthe loving family man as everyday hero. Amanda Seyfried’s gentle performance makes Eve, his endlessly supportive and patient wife, more convincing than the script deserves.The Woman in Gold.
