Pros: Eddie Murphy is fairly engaging; animatronic creatures
Cons: irritating animal voices; human-like animals; formulaic script; boring!
JackSommersby, this modern movie review is for you, babe! Besides, the original Dr. Dolittle from 1967, a kiddie musical based faithfully on Hugh Lofting's children's books, is not yet added to the Epinions' database. Not that I don't watch...

Pros: Great cast
Cons: could have been funnier
Before the Klumps, before the Nutty Professor, there was Dr. Dolittle. Eddie Murphy tries desperately to obtain some of the magic Rex Harrison had in his own movie version of the age old children's story.
John Dolittle is a M.D. that used...

Pros: special effects, kids will like it
Cons: panders to children, characters, gross or physical humor
The original Dr. Dolittle was a children's book by Hugh Lofting. It was later a 1927 German-made silent film. The version most familiar, of course, is the 1967 film starring a diffident Rex Harrison, which was perhaps the worst film ever to be nominated...

Pros: The talking animals steal the movie, but Murphy is right on as well.
Cons: Some lowball and offensive humor, but what do you expect from a modern comedy...?
When Eddie Murphy is on top of his game, there's no one funnier in Hollywood.
There was a time when he could do no wrong...The "Beverly Hills Cop" series, for instance. The first one is a mold for the art form of the modern comedy. The...

Pros: Murphy, the guinea pig, Platt
Cons: the bad pacing, the rats, the family
This is a perfect family film, as much for grown-up children as the youngsters! Starring Eddie Murphy, it is about a doctor who after a near-miss accident with a dog finds his childhood ability to talk to animals is back with a vengeance! This...

Pros: You wish!!
Cons: wisecracking animals, gas humor
If ever one needed evidence of Hollywood's bankruptcy of ideas, a remake of an overblown, 30-year-old kiddie film that nearly killed its studio ought to serve nicely as Exhibit A. Yet even the movie's title displays its makers' timidity. Notice how they...

Pros: Fun for the whole family.
Cons: May not be suitable for the very young (bathroom humor).
DR. DOLITTLE: Family comedy. Loosely based on the "Doctor Dolittle" stories by Hugh Lofting, this latest version, starring Eddie Murphy, and directed by Betty Thomas ("The Brady Bunch Movie", "Private Parts") is a great...

Pros: Lots of animals
Cons: not believable
Eddie Murphy once again stars in a not-so-great movie. Dr. Dolittle contained childish-humor along with some bad acting. The animal effects were entertaining, it was neat to see a mouse move like that. But, the dog's talking? Communicating with animals?...

Pros: A few guilty laughs
Cons: Stupid, stupid, stupid
This is the second in a no-doubt long series of Eddie Murphy remakes that remove the essence of the original in favor of fart and poop jokes. Over the course of Dr. Dolittle, you'll see Murphy give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a rat, a thermometer...

Pros: Good family fun, very funny
Cons: none
A remake but a real hit with Eddie Murphy cast as the animal doctor in this funny movie and a second time around. I don't really remember the other movie anymore once I saw this non stop funny movie. I picked the film up at our local library and though...

Pros: uhhhmmmm....
Cons: stupid humor, waste of time
I wanted to tear my eyeballs out and stuff them in my ears half way through so I could block out all sensory perception of this movie. But as a fan of Eddie Murphy, I kept hoping he might salvage this garbage heap of a movie with some hilarious scene....

Pros: Teaches a very valuable moral lesson!
Cons: Nope just owls and goats and pigeons oh my!
Eddie Murphy does a wonderful job of playing a light hearted humorous
story about an up and coming doctor who suddenly, through crisis and
stress takes a walk on the whacky side with the animals that he
suddenly can communicate with!
