Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

There's something intrinsically funny about tactlessly truth-telling talking animals. And there are plenty of those--and laughs to go with them--in this 1998 reimagining of Hugh Lofting's children's story. Murphy plays the doctor in question, a modern-day San Francisco physician who discovers that he can understand what animals have to say. Director Betty Thomas makes the most of an amazing voice cast for the animals, led by Norm McDonald and including everyone from Garry Shandling to Julie Kavner to Albert Brooks. The story itself is pretty slim--will the conscientious doctor sign his soul away to a greedy HMO?--but Murphy makes the most of it, often providing priceless reactions to animal voices only he can hear. --Marshall Fine


Product Description

A successful physician and devoted family man, John Dolittle (Murphy) seems to have the world by the tail, until a long-suppresses talent possessed as a child - the ability to communicate with animals- is suddenly reawakened with a vengeance! Now every creature within squawking distance wants the good doctor's advice, unleashing an outrageous chain of events that turn his world upside down!

Featuring an all-star menagerie of voice talent (including Chris Rock, John Leguizamo, Norm MacDonald, Albert Brooks, Gary Shandling and Ellen DeGeneres), this wild and woolly free-for-all is your prescription for hilarious hijinks and "mischievous fun!" (The New York Times)

3.0 out of 5 stars No Repeats, June 26, 2003
By JediMack (VALRICO, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dr. Dolittle (DVD)
This is a movie I bought first, primarily for the kids because of the reviews. No one ever asked to watch it a second time. I say this because one of my kids was watching the Lion King last night, for the umpteenth time. So yes, I agree that eddie murphy impressed me again with his talent... but it just didn't grab my kids, 3 boys and 2 girls. I had to give it a good rating of 3 rather than a 2 to encourage the making of good movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, Funny, Funny!, April 1, 2000
This review is from: Dr. Dolittle (DVD)
I'm a huge fan of watching a lot of Eddie Murphy films. I've watched them ever since I was old enough to watch television. Dr. Dolittle is the FUNNIEST movie of his I believe I have ever seen! If you like to laugh you'll love this movie!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Review on Dr. Dolittle, December 10, 1998
By A Customer
The movie is a laugh out loud funny as heck movie. The Guinea Pig is the most funniest thing in the movie! This is the best movie you will ever see in your entire life so go buy it/ rent it today and you'll get your moneys worth! Go watch the movie and you will thank me for putting all this great stuff in this review of "Dr. Dolittle". This may not be good for your kids because of crude humor and language. But over all its pretty good!!! Thanks for reading!!!
