About this event

A golden retriever spends his life watching the people he loves.

He watches them fall in love, start a family, endure loss, confront hardship and keep moving forward.

Kevin Costner voices Enzo, a loyal golden retriever (played by a dog whose real name is Parker) who sees life through the lens of perseverance, loyalty and a belief that the best dogs return as humans in their next lives.

His owner, aspiring race car driver Denny Swift (Milo Ventimiglia), believes the focus and discipline required of a great racer can help people navigate life's most difficult turns.

As Denny builds a family with Eve (Amanda Seyfried) and their daughter Zoë (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), Enzo remains a constant presence through moments of joy, heartbreak and hope.

“One of the best films I've ever seen to present the magical strong tie between dog and owner.” — Fico Cangiano, CineXpress “The dog drama other dog dramas want to be.” — Edwin Arnaudin, Asheville (N.C.) Movies “If the Academy gives out animal Oscars, Parker should get one. And if it doesn't, it should start. Now.” — Chuck Yarborough, The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer
