The sequel to the very popular DR DOOLITTLE delivers again in DR DOOLITTLE 2. Eddie Murphy and Norm McDonald return in this great family comedy. You can bet that there are more great laughs and again that same cute comedy is in this one.

John Doolittle (Murphy) now a world renowned medical doctor for both humans and animals is called to action because an endangered species of bears is becoming more at risk. It's up to Dr Doolittle to find a perfect mating pair and get them to mate. He has one problem though, the male bear that he finds is Archie (Steve Zahn) and he's been in captivity all his life and doesn't know anything about living in the wild. It's up to Dr Doolittle and Lucky (Norm McDonald) to teach Archie the ropes so that he can become a wild bear and mate with a female.

I thought that this one had it's share of laughs. The little iguana is really funny and Archie the bear is pretty funny too. Plus the rest of the animals in the forest are pretty funny. My only problem is that as usual, a ferret is portraying a weasel. Although ferrets are very closely related to them, It was a bit silly on why they didn't just get a weasel. And a cameo by the Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin doesn't hurt.

This is another great family comedy that kids will love not only for the animals but because it has a lot of child related comedy and adults will laugh at this one too. Check out DR DOOLITTLE 2 and don't forget to get DR DOOLITTLE!

"Dr. Dolittle 2" is a large improvement over the first one. First of all, less obsenity and more funnier jokes (most of them are body humor, but it's all in good, clean fun).

What also helps is the voices used for the newer characters. Lisa Kudrow (horrible in "Friends") is perfect as the female bear, and Steve Zahn (terrific in "Joy Ride") is almost the scene-stealer in this movie with laugh-out-funny jokes circus bear, and the forest characters are funny too.

This is a perfect family movie, without the vulgarity and less crude humor than the 1998 "Dr. Dolittle." Rated PG for language and some crude humor.

"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.

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.

When I heard about the storyline to "Dr. Dolittle 2", I couldn't help but laugh and decide before I even thought about watching it, that it wouldn't be as good as the original. I mean, how can a film in which Dr. Dolittle (Eddie Murphy) is now settled in his role with talking to the animals, and one in which he has to find a way to get a circus bear and a normal female bear in the woods (both the same endangered species) to breed in order to keep the entire forest from being cut down, be a good movie?

But alas, "Dr. Dolittle 2" proved me wrong. It takes it awhile to get going, but once it does, the laughs keep on coming. Like the Amazon.com review says, this movie is geared mostly toward kids, but it can at least be very entertaining to adults as well. For instance, in one part of the movie, an offer is made from the human enemies to the animals. Deciding that the offer was blahful, a raccoon (one of the animals' spokesmen) walks over and urinates on the paper. Dr. Dolittle himself then says "I think that's a no. Maybe a hell no." That was hilarious.

And there are a few other parts and lines in "Dr. Dolittle 2" that will have you laughing your blank off, whether you're 10 or 100. There are also a few dramatic side quests that the great Dr. Dolittle will have to deal with in his quest to save a habitat.

Whether it's the drama or the comedy, "Dr. Dolittle 2" works, overall. It might not have the magic or the originality of the blockbuster original, but I'd say that it's just as good, if not better, than the original. What I mostly look for when I'm watching a comedy movie is how funny it is, and "Dr. Dolittle 2" is just that, funny.

This is a moderately entertaining film that is fun for the whole family. It features Eddie Murphy as Dr. Dolittle, reprising his original role. This time Dr. Doolittle displays an interest in environmental issues, as he tries to save the forest by playing matchmaker between Ava, a bear in the wild, and Archie, a circus bear who has gotten soft and is trying to get used to living in the wild. Ultimately, Dr. Dolittle is victorious over the corporate expansionists who sought to decimate the forest.

There are some very amusing moments with the animals. There are also some funny moments as Dr. Dolittle tries to cope with his sixteen year old daughter just being a teenager. Much to his delight and surprise, however, it turns out that she appears to have inherited his unique ability to communicate with animals. Still, this film is simply not as good as the prequel.


This DVD provides picure perfect visuals, as well as excellent sound. The disc also has some nice extra features, such as a kid's guide to grizzlies and the director's commentary. This is a value packed DVD.

As a 19 year-old with 3 younger brothers, I would say that it's worth getting this movie just to watch the hysterical reactions of younger kids. Thing is, I found it almost as funny myself!
Surprisingly, this turned out to be better (in my opinion) than the first Dr. D.
There are times when the actions of the animals don't seem to fluidly match their speech and intended emotions, but hey, it's to be expected. As is typical with a movie intended for the younger generation, there is plenty of bodily humor, though some of the narrative almost borders on the adult when referring to sex. It never goes overboard though, and while it may never become a classic in the sense of the book, you'll end up with a contented sigh by the time the film comes to an end.

I liked it better than the first one, and frankly not too many comedy sequels can topped the original. Eddie Murphy is charming as the Doctor. In this, he is trying to save the forest from being chopped down by nasty developer. The performances are great and enhanced to the movie cuteness.

The DVD is fine, several extra features included. The picture and sound quality is about average nothing to complain about. Overall, this DVD will delight your entire family. REcommended.

This movie is funny! Very funny, you'll start jumping up and down, breaking every furniture your parents buy, and well kill yourself if you're absolutely insane! It's the continuation of dr.dolittle 1 which was absolutely funny. This second version is when dr.dolittle discovers the fact humans are killing nature burning down the animals homes. It was time to take action. After he visited his fello friends in the jungle, dr.dolittle was surprised to hear from his animal friends that humans were looking for trouble buy burning down trees that werent so important for us but was important for squirells, beavers and birds aswell. So he goes up to people and tell them all about the problems happening to these animals and blabers on and on about keeping nature clean and a place for evry one to live. But that's not where the fun begins. Ofcourse, the number one laughter in this movie was when dr.dolittle was awoked by a bear in his house and when the bear was talking to him at the time his daughter was. Obviously his daughter didnt really know a huge bear behind her was talking to her dad, who was so kind enough to listen to the both of them in where i think he got confused to whom she should say what! I know, it was confusing and sometimes that's the fun of this movie. It ends up gr8 but what is more gr8 to talk about is the fact most movies are about animals which is fun especially these hilarious ones like cats and dogs. You can order this special movie with a surprise of seeing cats and dogs aswell. Before they're out of stock, buy these two or else you'll feel awfully sorry for not doing that!

Dr Dolittle 2 was one of the funniest movies I saw in 2001 so when the dvd come out Oct 23 I bought it.This sequel was actually funnier than the first one although I have both movies.This movie features some of the same characters that was in the first movie.Most of the animal characters are different but luckey the dog and the rats are in it.The disc is loaded with extras such as 2 theatrical trailers and 12 tv spots,making movie magic with Rytham and Hues,a music video by cluck cluck and a lot of other extras.It also has outakes but unless you have a dvd player with nuon feature you can't see the out takes which is unfortunate because only a few of the newer models have this incorporated.Now that I've seen this one I look foward to Dr Dolittle 3 coming out in a couple of years hopefully at least 3 and hope it will be as funny as this one.
