![]() ![]() And a stuffed zebra has a scene that is as surreal as the Twilight Zone episode I saw as a kid with a bunch of mannequins calling out "Marsha!" to a terrorized woman locked in a department store at night. I don't think I'd let a kid under ten see this. But I do disagree with some reviewers here. It is all about loyalty, determination, grieving, fear of abandonment, and friendship. ![]() The pup makes the movie, and the actors don't try to get in the way. Kevin Costner does a good job of narrating for Enzo. What makes the story even more unique is the viewpoint - a story told in flash back by Denny's dog Enzo as is he is dying of old age in Denny's arms, starting from the time Denny adopted him as a puppy, to Denny's marriage to Eve, to the birth of their daughter, and everything that came in between and after. ![]() It's the story of Denny, an average Joe with a rather unique occupation - teacher of race car driving and an aspiring race car driver himself. If all you watch are Christopher Nolan and Ingmar Bergman films, you will eventually find yourself staring glassy eyed into space, drinking heavily, and wondering, in the words of the 70s band Chicago - "Does anybody really know what time it is?". every now and then, whether we will admit it or not, we all need to watch such a film. ![]()
