Summary: Dr. Dolittle
Review: When my grandchildren brought over to my house the movie Dr. Dolittle, I shuddered to think what kind of language might be on the video. I kept my hand on the remote control, ready to change channels at the first sign of Eddy Murphy's colorful lanugage from his past movies. But I was surprised to see that wasn't to be. Most of the language my grandchildren didn't understand anyway but they enjoyed watching the animals talk.
The Dr. Dolittle movie is a great escape from our everyday life routine. I have watched this movie about 15 times and each time I crack up laughing at the scene where Eddy Murphy (John) wakes up in bed and realizes something is crawling on his chest. John lifts the sheet to find Rodney (the family's guinea pig). John lets out a terrifying scream.
John along with his two partners are trying to sell their medical practice for a large sum of money. John is married to a very supportive wife and they have two kids. Pressures from the sell of the practice and all of the talking animals are taking a toll on poor John. Everyone thinks John is cracking up. John checks into a medical center. One thing after another happens, which I will not reveal because you need to watch this movie yourself.
John medically treats the talking animals anywhere from plucking a twig from an owl"s wing to operating on a lion. Eddy Murphy could not have done such a good job without all of the star menagerie voices of: Chris Rock, John Lequizamo, Norm MacDonald, Albert Books, Garry Shandling and Ellen DeGeneres. Talking animal movies have been done before but they are what makes this movie seem exceptionally funny.
Dr. Dolittle is a "must" see movie, there is a moral to the story. It can teach children that just because you might be "different" does not mean you are "weird".

Summary: Good
Review: This movie is just good including a funny performance by Eddie Murphy, except Kyla Pratt looked really freaky when she played Dr. Dolittle's daughter. I give this movie *** (3 out of 5).

Summary: Adult Film in PG Disguise.
Review: This film is for adults unless you're into molding youth into being foulmouthed, stupid lackluster people who have no couth, sublety or imagination. As an adult film, it can compete with WWF wrestling PPV events in terms of aggressive dialogue. In terms of being a childrens' film, all I can say is that I was truly embarrassed to be sitting there with my 8 year old companion. Luckily, the jokes fairly much went right over his head. Has Murphy pushed the boundaries? A resounding yes! As the society we live in becomes more primitive and unkind, we can thank "entertainers" like this one for helping it slip down a few more notches.

Summary: Very cute and funny.
Review: At first I thought the movie had a bad idea, but it turned out to be very funny. The animals were wonderful, great family movie--a moive that everybody would like to watch. And be what you really are, and ignore other people's mockings is great thing to do. But the movie made the animal world look too happy; I don't think people would think the movie so cute if they used earthworms.

Summary: RIP-OFF!! [gesundheit]
Review: Just as he did with The Nutty Professor, Eddie Murphy just HAD to take the title role of a remake of a movie or book, or a combination of the two, that made its point by its stereotype, in this case: medical doctor who can talk to animals. Unless kids had seen the 60's Rex Harrison musical (which I did not, but I can tell you right now that Harrison wins overall) or read the classic Hugh Lofting book (which I did read at age 9, quite good), this piece of unoriginality is all they've even heard of. At a camp I attended a couple years ago, they made us see this blatant bag of trash, which I strongly objected to, but nevertheless was overruled by the authorities (I also objected to having repeated showings of Scooby-Doo tapes, but I'll object to one of those products another time). Just like the Scream movies, this movie doesn't really have a plot, which digs it in 6 more feet under the "intellectual' limit, which has since been abandoned, because there isn't any intellect in movies anymore. The second movie, which is showing as I speak, should follow along the same lines.

Summary: More Than Just A Kids Movie
Review: It's good to see that Eddie Murphy is still acting these days. This film is quite similar to 'The Nutty Professor'. It's a good remake. This movie shows how Eddie Murphy has softened up since his 'Beverly Hills Cop' days. Instead of him making jokes about everyone, he is now a serious guy in this one. Also the cast also includes Norm MacDonald, Chris Rock, and more...
This film is quite funny and I really enjoyed it when I first saw it.

Summary: Entertaining
Review: Though this film was geered toward younger generations it will be enjoyed by all. It's about a doctor played by Eddie Murphy who learnes he can talk to-and help-animals. It has humor for the older and younger and is a great film for all. Rated PG-13 for sexual humor and some language.

Summary: I'm not laughing
Review: I was expecting alot more from this movie. It's a comedy and it's just not funny. Yes, the animal voices are very well-done and are the movies bright spot. All the stars do a great job and they are really the only reason to see the film. Unfortuantly, when it comes to the human cast and the writing, Dr. Dolittle is less interesting than the origional film. To begin with, this has got to be one of Eddie Murphy's weakest performances ever. He's just boring. His family is fairly dull as well ranching from bland to obnoxious. The script isn't that great either. In the Nutty Professor, many excused the toilet humor because of Murphy's great performance or because of the occasional, witty line. This is simply not the case here and the movie is simply boring. I judge a comedy on how much it makes me laugh and Dr. Dolittle failed miserably in this department. It's simply not funny.
