Looks good, Racing and dog as a narrator. Wish I had've thought of it myself.
Looks worth watching. Goldens - they're the best!
Bring tissues to the theater. Started reading the novel and there were tears in the first two pages.
FYI: Book was published in 2008.
FYI Addendum: Reason why the track and race scenes are authentic is that one producer Patrick Dempsey is a racer with 4 Le Mans starts in addition to 64 other professional starts.
I will see the movie and then get the book. It comes out August 8, 2019. Dogs and cars. And romance I suppose. Can't go wrong with this one. I've heard good things about the book. Patrick Dempsey will make it all count. What Ferrari is that near the end of the trailer?
Judging from the title several F1 drivers could have used some pointers this last weekend.

Looked like a late 50's 250 Testa Rosa in the trailer I saw.
The book was WONDERFUL!!! I hope the movie does not vary too much.
Look for car shirts in the movie audience
Anyone here not have a dog.......?
(raising my hand) no dog here.
AutoWeek had a pretty good article in their email about the movie:

I thought that I read [elsewhere?] that the author raced a Miata?
Definitely looking forward to seeing this one 8)
Love me some pups! I have two dogs - a Great Pyrenees and a Bernese Mountain Dog... and I live in Texas. Go figure! ::)
It's funny that this movie came up on the forum, as my wife and one of my daughters have both read the book and have been encouraging me to see the movie with them; which sounds like a must - in a good way. :D
I had dogs years ago, do not have any now, we took in a cat, she was left out with no front claws, about 7 years ago, we did not take her in officially until 5 years ago when the people that had her up and moved away. I can tell you being a dog person, this cat has given me just as much joy to which she has that same personality as that dog has in the movie. The sad part with our cat is she is now 14 years old, so our time with her has not been long.
She loves rides in the cars and like to be on my lap with her paws on the steering wheel!
I cannot see this movie, I will be the biggest crier there!

I'm having trouble convincing my wife that "she wants to see it"... but still working on it ::)

She probably needs an automatic right?

I hear you! I'll probably bring my own stash of Kleenex!
AKC registered German Shepard here!! Will be 2 yrs old in October :o
here is a link to the AutoWeek "grumpy old man" Review of the movie:

I'm all in. Going to see it opening night by myself so I don't get static or commentary from any tag along that will ruin my enjoyment.
Opens August 8...
Not your usual Hollywood fare. I just saw the movie tonight and was thoroughly satisfied. Go see it. The movie has many very profound messages contained within (shocking for a bigger production movie these days). One can analyze the movie on a multi-layered level or just enjoy on any level you want. No hints of political agendas that I could see and gave an ideal balance between racing and life that occurs between the racing. Realistic on many levels and philosophical on many more. I give this movie five stars out of five and I will read the book and buy the DVD if they release one. (Seems we are being corralled into streaming where you pay every time you want to watch and no more can you own the movie and play as you like over the years.)

+1 like. I thoroughly enjoyed it . I would recommend it to others .
Thanks for the heads up! I can't wait to see it.
thanks for the first-hand [actual] car-guy reviews 8)
I listened to a Ross Bentley Podcast with the author, Garth Stein yesterday. Podcast # 135 here: https://speedsecrets.com/speedsecrets-podcast/ (https://speedsecrets.com/speedsecrets-podcast/)
I just finished the book this morning.
Planning on going to the movie tomorrow. I am excited to see it.
Stumbled across the factoid that author Garth Stein had attended a driving school. Combine that with one of the producers being a professional racer and a genuine track atmosphere will be created. It makes a difference.
I know that I need to see it; but I'm with the last days left of my magnificent Newfoundland's life " Tugboat "; he has always raced on the dash of my Motorhome "! He's touched my soul like no other pet before. He helped me understand what matters more than ever before
Cob4ra, I know EXACTLY what you mean even without you saying it.
I love the photo ;)
Here is my loving GSD, Max!!! He has brought me so much joy when I felt my muscular physical pain. And also the mental pain of having physical pain!!
Loved the book and really enjoyed the movie yesterday. Not a dry eye in the theater. Expect to see Golden Retriever pups command big money this fall (:
Took the wife to see it yesterday. Really enjoyed the film. Well made, the driving scenes were good, and no political overtones.
Made the wife cry and I didn't have to hear you just wasted another two hours of my life on one of your movies.
The played the Ford V Ferrari trailer, nice to see it on the big screen.
Read the book and planning on seeing the movie.
But, wanting to know how close was the movie to the book? Not wanting to see another "DaVinci Code" where the movie was quite different
went to see this last night (with my wife and sister)... I think that there were quite a few more women than men in the theater.
Definitely a few tissues needed.
Very enjoyable movie :) and would recommend. But I would not call it a movie "about Racing".
Trying for no spoilers, but it did have the key features of a "chick-flick" ??? (at least per the definition in our household).
great movie. one of those "been there , done that kinda things" phred
