Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cute
Review: I happened to be real sick when I saw this so it is really hard to form an opinion,but I do think the bear is cute.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An Okay Performance by Eddie Murphy
Review: I have seen both movies and they are both good, except why is a turtle talking to Dr. Dolittle aboutt not having sex for 40 years, and that shouldn't be listed inside a PG movie unless it's rated PG for sensuality. I give this 3 stars, just like the original.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: TOOOO FUNNY
Review: as good as the first if not better... Very cute movie, I enjoyed this movie alot. Can't say too much more don't want to give anything away... Great gift.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hi-larious!!!
Review: This was far better than the first Dr. Dolittle, although it was a good one too. Many of the one liners throughout the movie are common household one liners now. Archie (Steve Zahn) makes the movie absolutely a riot.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dr. Dolittle 2 -- Popkorn Junkie's (and my) review
Review: "Dr. Dolittle 2" was a cute movie. It was definitely better that it's prequel and it actually had a good plot: A logging company wants to tear down hundreds of acres of forest-- leaving the animals that live there homeless. Dr. Dolittle (with the help of his animal friends) comes up with a plot to save the forest! An endangered species of bears lives in the forest, but there is only one...a female. In order to save the forest, Dr. Dolittle must successfully mate the female with another male of the same species. There's a catch-- the only male available is a tamed circus bear! Dr. Dolittle has one month to turn "Wayne Newton with fur" into a real outdoor bear and get him to mate with the female.

Anyway, the story is pretty cute so the film was definitely enjoyable. What made the movie really fun, of course, were the talking animals! How can you go wrong with talking animals?! Steve Zahn voices the totally funny (and goofy) Archie, the tame dancing bear, while Lisa Kudrow voices Eva, the female bear. There were lots of other talking animals (of course) but I'm not sure about did the voices. I think Arnold Schwarzenegger was actually the voice of the Alpha Wolf, Joey Lauren Adams was the cute little Squirrel, and Andy Dick was the Weasel, but that's all I got.

Hmmm. I don't really have much more to say about the movie. Eddie Murphy was hilarious as usual, what more can I say? I love Eddie! My only complaint: There was a little potty humor (which I don't much like) but not too much to disgust me...it was ok.

Recommendation: "Dr. Dolittle 2" is a cute movie with funny talking animals and stars the side-splitting Eddie Murphy. Unlike most movies of this caliber (talking animals and such) the plot was very interesting and very believable-- assuming you believe the whole understanding animals thing. Let the kids see this one, it's got a great environmentalist message (save our forests!) and it's very funny.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Bad Language
Review: It's too bad that they have to ruin a good story with lanaguage entirely unsuited for children. I suppose with Eddie Murphy in it I should have known. I'm disappointed anyway.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT ENTERTAINMENT FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN
Review: I loved this movie. The animation was great. The scenes were so well done and so funny that I immediately bought copies for family members (adult). There are few movies that are not offensive for older adults and they really enjoyed this one. Eddie is good in his role, but the animals are the movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Is this a movie, or a PETA commercial?
Review: This entire movie seems to be orchestrated by someone with EXTREME environmental views. The good Dr Doolittle must save the poor, defenseless animals of the forest from the evil Republican forest industry...>Why does the movie industry constantly attempt to steer our fertile minded children toward their own political views?

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I couldn't Bear it!
Review: One critic called Dr. Doolittle 2 an unnecessary sequel. What was the guy thinking? Any time a studio has a huge hit, as the original Doolittle certainly was, the idea of a franchise comes up. Sometimes this isn't possible. Titanic, for instance, ends with the ship's sinking and the hero's drowning. End of story. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if a Hollywood executive or two hasn't lost sleep trying to figure out a way to make Titanic II. Sequels are among the movie's most reliable income producers. It doesn't matter if the original itself wasn't very good. If the public bought enough tickets, then rented enough videos, that's all the reason a studio needs to try and recreate, if the magic, then the revenue.

Eddie Murphy is back as John Doolittle. He hasn't lost his ability to talk to animals; in fact, his days are filled with talking animals as well as people. I don't know how he copes. His bickering family would be enough for most men to deal with. One day a raccoon comes to his door and tells him that he needs to come to a nearby forest logging company is about to destroy. Doolittle discovers that there is an endangered species of bear in the forest. When the doctor runs across a trained male bear named Archie [voice of Steve Zahn] in a circus, he obtains a court order which allows him thirty days to see if Archie will mate with Ava [Lisa Kudrow], the bear living in he woods. Archie doesn't like the idea of life in the wild. He much prefers city life. Ava, easily the smartest mammal in the movie, doesn't think Archie can be much of a provider. Doolittle and his animal pals must persuade the reluctant couple that the other forest creatures are depending on them.

The plot is as silly as it is unoriginal, but there are amusing moments and enough cute, cuddly critters to keep the kids happy for an hour and a half.

There could have been no sequel without Eddie Murphy, who starred in the original. While he plays the part with his usual good cheer, there sadly isn't enough focus on him. He is, after all, one of the great comic actors of his generation. Here the animals get most of the attention and the laughs, giving Murphy little choice but to be little more than the world's highest paid straight man.

Dr. Doolittle 2 continues Hollywood's current obsession with jokes about lower digestion tract functions. Current thinking among child psychologists is that it's healthy for children to be open about their bodies. Maybe so, but does that mean we also have to teach them that it's fine to laugh at the crudest humor? All I know for sure is that I have become bored by this trend in movies. I hope that scriptwriter's will soon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Delightful Dr. Dolittle 2
Review: I love this movie for some many reasons. The first reason is that Eddie always make me laugh. Raven-Symone and Lil' Zane and Kyla Pratt give great appeal for the teenage audience.Second the animals in the movie were hiralously funny. The best part was when the animals stike back at the land developers. You have got to see that part of the movie it is so funny.

I also like the general theme which is to protect animals because animals have feelings too. It really make you think each time a forest get destroy what happens to the poor animals. I think it is a good lesson for children to learn. To take care of the animals and the earth. I believe this film is great for the whole family and should be a family favorite at any home.
