Dr. Dolittle 3

When I sat down here in 2022 to watch the 2006 family movie "Dr. Dolittle 3", I didn't really expect a whole lot. Why? Well, given the nature of the concept behind the movie, then I figured three movies in that the soup must be boiled thin already.

However, I opted to give writers Nina Colman and Hugh Lofting's movie a chance, on the account of it being a movie that I hadn't already seen.

Oddly enough, then I will say that director Rich Thorne actually delivered a wholesome movie with "Dr. Dolittle 3". It was a storyline that entertained both me and my son, as we watched it together. Sure, the storyline is somewhat tacky and corny, but it still works out well enough. I was actually adequately entertained by this movie, despite it being somewhat generic and predictable.

The acting in the movie was good, and they definitely had a good cast ensemble, both for the people in the movie and also for the voice acting of the animals.

I am rating "Dr. Dolittle 3" a six out of ten stars, as it is a wholesome family.

It was an OK movie.I ca'nt see why people are rating it so hi?Maybe they work for the company haha.Do'nt even think it's going to be anything like the first 2.I hope my young grandkids will like it.My wife stopped watching it ,I wanted to but like to see endings.It had a few laughs,but wish id had read the reviews first.I ca'nt see why it's so hard for movie companies to,make sequels.Or they just make it as low budget as possible. Tey don't want you to pirate movies but do they care if you pay good money for garbage? I don't feel sorry for any of the studios. I can also see why murphy did'nt act in this one.Enough with not enough lines already Gary

At the beginning you see the director focusing on other character of the Dolittle family, the teenager daughter of Dr. Doolittle, trying to give the movie a fresh twist. But folks the only thing it did was make this film flat, with a very few laughs, no charisma and in a horrifying way of being predictable in almost of the movie, it's like you can see how its gonna end after you've watch the firsts 15 min.

In conclusion this movie its not even good to entertain kids, I don't

recommend this one, just skip it. The only thing i get from Dr. Dolittle 3 is that i miss Eddy Murphy's way of making me laugh until my lungs come out from my nose holes...

I wanted to finish the Dr. Dolittle sequels and in some way I was interested to see how they would continue the story with Mya Dolittle. Well, this movie turned into a totally unrealistic typical pre-teen comedy that had no originality or interest, even if it was meant for a specific crowd. It was insulting to any human's intelligence, I mean, are we supposed to believe everyone naturally knows how to dance at a party? Or that Mya could sing beautifully, dance wonderfully, and be perfect and not be popular?

Mya is now considered a freak at her school since she can talk to the animals. But when her mom realizes she still needs to find herself, she sends Mya to a ranch where Mya changes her name to get a new look and personality. But she ends up falling for the ranch owner's son and they face another ranch of snobs, the ranch owner is about to loose his farm and Mya decides to pull the team together to win the money to keep the ranch.

Well, you see where this story is going, and it's a typical one. I was really disappointed with the movie and I wouldn't really recommend it, even for pre-teens, for me, I think it has insults their intelligence, it's just one of those movies, believe me. Stick with Eddie Murphy, he's a professional.

2/10

It was not a bad film but the first two had more substance. Having Eddie Murphy may have made it better. There were some funny scenes when the animals found out she could talk but the dog coming from home to the ranch was a bit impossible.

The one problem I had with the film is continuity. In Dr. Dolittle 2 the oldest daughter (Raven) was the one talking to the animals. They did not create a bridge to let you know how it switched to the younger daughter.

The decision to release it directly on video was a good move by the producers because it was not quite as good as the first two. All in all it was an enjoyable film.
