Slim on story and rife with scatological jokes, the film may strike a chord with pre-teens but misses for an older crowd despite some nifty effects and broad humor.

...Raunchily funny wisenheimers. -- Rating: B+

Rating: 1/5 -- Dr. Dolittle is destined to be a money maker, since kids will see the talking animals and be instantly taken in, but it is the film's utter lack of anything wholesome that causes its downfall. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- The movie will not harm anyone, and in the audience I saw it with, lots of parents and kids seemed to be laughing together. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Murphy himself is rather dull in the straight man role, and the jokes are pretty coarse for a family film. But it's certainly better than the lacklustre sequel, which finds Eddie playing second fiddle to a performing bear. Full Review

Rating: 1.5/4 -- A cloying, humorless motion picture whose only assets are the work of Jim Henson's Creature Shop and a couple of good one-liners by a pair of rodents. Full Review

It's quite funny for the first thirty minutes, but after that it's kind of like beating a dead horse. A dead talking horse. Full Review

Product Description:

A remake of the 1967 Richard Fleischer film of the same name, DR. DOLITTLE follows an animal doctor whose patients' barks, squeals, and meows turn into actual human voices, stirring up the practice. Eddie Murphy updates the role as a San Francisco veternarian who as a boy was looked upon strangely by everyone when he claimed he could talk to animals. Now an adult, a near wreck stirs something in him and suddenly he can understand the animals again, whether he wants to or not.
