Movie Reviews of Dr. Dolittle 2Movie Review: Dr Dolittle 2 Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Summary of Dr. Dolittle 2Superstar Eddie Murphy is back as Dolittle, the beloved doctor with the up-ROAR-ious critter-communicating talents. This time around Dolittle plays Cupid to bumbling circus bear to help a group of forest creatures save their habitat. With the aid of his mangy, madcap animal friends, Dolittle must teach this overgrown teddy the ways of true romance in time to save his species and his home! It's only a marginal improvement, but Dr. Dolittle 2 defies the odds by rising above its popular 1998 predecessor (and once again, let's not confuse these movies with the earlier Rex Harrison musical). Eddie Murphy cakewalks through his title role with the confident professionalism of a comedian who knows when to share the spotlight--especially when he's being upstaged by a bunch of animals who steal all the punch lines. And once again the movie's aimed at a preteen audience, so many of those punch lines involve flatulence, bodily functions, and frequent use of the word butt. The difference this time: Dr. Dolittle has settled into his talk-to-the-animals routine; his 16-year-old daughter (Raven-Symone) is getting to be a feisty handful (it turns out she's coping with a hereditary gift); and his lawyer wife (Kristen Wilson) is representing him in a trial against corporate villains who want to clear-cut a local forest. Naturally, the local critter mafia (their Don is a beaver... fugeddaboutit!) want Dolittle to fight for their cause, and this involves the successful mating of an endangered bear and a domesticated circus bear who's forgotten all the bear necessities of life in the wild. The bears are voiced by Lisa Kudrow and Steve Zahn, and they almost steal the show, but the whole menagerie (with digitally animated "talking") is equally amusing. Adults might wish that the filmmakers had tried harder to make a truly memorable sequel, but this is a movie for kids, and they're going to love it without quibbling. --Jeff Shannon
