It is interesting to see the discrepancy between the reviews of critics and viewers. This movie is charming, poignant and funny. The acting is first-rate. Critics may find the plot formulaic, but it works very well. My wife and I enjoyed the movie enormously. If you like the TV series This is Us, you will like The Art of Racing in the Rain, which stars Milo Ventimiglia in a role somewhat similar to his role in the TV series. If you want to be entertained for a couple of hours, The Art of Racing in the Rain is a good choice.
