1998's Dr. Dolittle: Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing!

byjankp Jan 5, 2003
68 Helpfuls 69 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Eddie Murphy is fairly engaging; animatronic creatures
Cons irritating animal voices; human-like animals; formulaic script; boring!
Recommended it? No

JackSommersby, this modern movie review is for you, babe! Besides, the original Dr. Dolittle from 1967, a kiddie musical based faithfully on Hugh Lofting's children's books, is not yet added to the Epinions' database. Not that I don't watch movies from the last twenty-five years, as Jack implied in... Read full review »

A LOT OF A LITTLE

Pros Great cast
Cons could have been funnier
Recommended it? Yes

Before the Klumps, before the Nutty Professor, there was Dr. Dolittle. Eddie Murphy tries desperately to obtain some of the magic Rex Harrison had in his own movie version of the age old children's story.

John Dolittle is a M.D. that used to possess the power to communicate with animals... Read full review »

What do you think barking is, an involuntary spasm

byAunico Dec 15, 2003
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Murphy, the guinea pig, Platt
Cons the bad pacing, the rats, the family
Recommended it? Yes

This is a perfect family film, as much for grown-up children as the youngsters! Starring Eddie Murphy, it is about a doctor who after a near-miss accident with a dog finds his childhood ability to talk to animals is back with a vengeance! This starts to drive him mad as the animals will not shut... Read full review »

Complete waste of time

Pros uhhhmmmm....
Cons stupid humor, waste of time
Recommended it? No

I wanted to tear my eyeballs out and stuff them in my ears half way through so I could block out all sensory perception of this movie. But as a fan of Eddie Murphy, I kept hoping he might salvage this garbage heap of a movie with some hilarious scene. Nope.

The movie consists of fart gags... Read full review »

Doing a Lot with Dolittle

byDiversity646 Jun 20, 2001
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros The talking animals steal the movie, but Murphy is right on as well.
Cons Some lowball and offensive humor, but what do you expect from a modern comedy...?
Recommended it? Yes

When Eddie Murphy is on top of his game, there's no one funnier in Hollywood.

There was a time when he could do no wrong...The "Beverly Hills Cop" series, for instance. The first one is a mold for the art form of the modern comedy. The second one, while not great, is still very funny... Read full review »

Pros Good family fun, very funny
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

A remake but a real hit with Eddie Murphy cast as the animal doctor in this funny movie and a second time around. I don't really remember the other movie anymore once I saw this non stop funny movie. I picked the film up at our local library and though my kids might like it. My almost nine year old... Read full review »

Doctor Dolittle (1998)

byBrianKoller May 3, 2000
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros special effects, kids will like it
Cons panders to children, characters, gross or physical humor
Recommended it? No

The original Dr. Dolittle was a children's book by Hugh Lofting. It was later a 1927 German-made silent film. The version most familiar, of course, is the 1967 film starring a diffident Rex Harrison, which was perhaps the worst film ever to be nominated for Best Picture. The 1967 film did win an...

Pros Teaches a very valuable moral lesson!
Cons Nope just owls and goats and pigeons oh my!
Recommended it? Yes

Eddie Murphy does a wonderful job of playing a light hearted humorous
story about an up and coming doctor who suddenly, through crisis and
stress takes a walk on the whacky side with the animals that he
suddenly can communicate with!

The humor is virtually non stop and Eddie... Read full review »
