Editorial Review:

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)

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

- lame
what else can you say when you turn off the movie 40 minutes into it? the opening was funny, when he was a kid getting in trouble for talking to the dog too much. but as an adult, murphy's performance just seemed silly and the animals are all these jaded modern types. and murphy as a doctor? come on.. it didn't offend me, it just bored. he should have cleaned it up a bit and made it for the kiddies. for adults, this is a waste of time.

- Dr. Dolittle 3
In watching Dr. Dolittle 3 I found the movie completely entertaining and delightful. I recommend this movie to all families, young and old alike, we all need laughter and this one was missing Eddie Murphy, this young actress surely captivated the show.

Rating:

- no barks or meows in this film
Dr. Dolittle is perhaps one of the funniest Eddie Murphy films around. Let's be honest- those of you who own dogs and cats, you've probably wondered what it would be like if they could communicate with you. Obviously they can't talk to you, but animals can feel so HUMAN sometimes, that sometimes you believe you can actually understand what they want and need. That's what makes this movie so funny. A variety of famous comedians do the voice overs for many of the animals in the film, and most of ... Read More

Rating:

- Read the book instead
Just a note to those who were uncomfortable watching this film with their children; movies have ratings for a reason. This movie is rated PG-13, which tells you up front that it has content that is considered inappropriate for children. In this case, it is crude humor.
What I don't understand is why they made a movie with a story line aimed at a young audience, and then inclduded content that earned it a rating that recommends that a young audience shouldn't see it.
