Il dottor Dolittle 2

I went to see Dr. Dolittle2 thinking that it was going to be really funny.And it was kinda, the first one was much much FUNNIER then this one. They should have brought back the Ginne pig he made the first one for me.I mean there is some funny parts in Dr.2 but not many,this one is more for the family then the other one was you can tell that by rating PG13 to PG.I mean come on.All together Dr2 will become a great thing to watch on a rainy afternoon, But other then that don't waste your time or money.

If you like these kind of movies, then its funny. My wife loves these kinds of movie, and enjoyed this. Its amazing how well they can train bears, some of the stunts are incredible. The voice overs couldn't be done better. My opinion of the film is its cute, but not many surprises in this one. I laughed at this film, and comedy is the hardest thing to do, but I did not find this better the average comedy. Its funny, but not p**s your pants funny.

Dr. Dolittle 2 is a film that attempts to poke fun at some of today's pop culture. Jokes involving "Super Size," "Wassssssup," and "The Backstreet Boys," all appear within this sequel. However, this type of film has to be backed up with something more than witty animal comments, and opinions on pop culture. The animals give their part, but unfortunately the humans don't. The characters in this story, including Dr. Dolittle, are uninteresting. No one wants to see the formulaic family that has problems, and everyone knows that by the end of the film they'll all still love each other. That formula promotes boredom. Despite the foolish characters, this comedy isn't a total flop. Children will probably laugh at the crude jokes, while parents fall asleep. The animals give their 50%, but the humans are the ones who are lacking. I think its about time for Eddie Murphy to move on, and for Hollywood to drop the "Dolittle" franchise. **--C+

Loose non-musical adaptation of the 1967 movie has Eddie Murphy in this follow-up playing straight man to a group of furry friends voiced by the likes of Steve Zahn, Lisa Kudrow, Mike Epps, Jacob Vargas, Michael Rapaport, Isaac Hayes, Andy Dick, Joey Lauren Adams, David Cross, David DeLuise. Here Murphy Dr. John Dolittle the beloved doctor is back, living with his intimate family, wife (Kristen Wilson and children (Raven-Symoné, Kyla Pratt), but this time around he plays cupid to bumbling circus bear Archie as he's so smitten by a Pacific Western bear female, Ava. Dr. Dolittle must help a group of forest creatures to save their forest against enemies (Kevin Pollak, Jeffrey Jones) who want to destroy it . The good doctor goes back, persuaded to save the forest from human developers. With the aid of his mangy, madcap animal friends, Dr. Dolittle must teach Archie the ways of true romance in time to save his species and his home before their habit is gone. Dolittle is reduced to reacting lamely and is upstaged throughout by the wisecracking critters. He doesn't just talk to the animals!.Dolittle Is Back !. The doctor is in again !. The Doctor Is Back! For thousands of year animals have been trying to tell us something, but their cries have fallen on deaf ears...until they found John Dolittle !. This Summer...The Doctor is In Learn to talk in 500 animal languages from a parrot who speaks 1000!.The most joyous entertainment for the whole family! You've never seen anything like it in your life!.

An enjoyable adventure about a botcher doctor, regaining his wit and courage as he makes friends, crosses adversaries and encounters wondrous creatures created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. The marvelous and agreeable premise suffers, at times, from a poor and weak script, this time Dolittle is faced with the challenge of reintroducing a circus bear into the wild in order to save a forest . Children will find this flick very amusing thanks to Eddie Murphy 's stunning acting, a lot of beloved animals, colorful cinematography and sympathetic script. May pack a bit too much bathroom for some family tastes. Gastrointestinal, flatulence and other bodily functions dominate the humor and subplots involving Dolittle's daughter nearly undoes te charm, but it's a passable entertainment. No animals were harmed during the making of this film, but there was probably cruel and unusual treatment of the interns involving pooper-scoopers. Murphy's well accompanied by Kristen Wilson, Raven-Symoné, Lil' Zane, James Avery, Andy Richter, Kevin Pollack, the always likeable Kyla Pratt who stars the sequels, among others. Traditional values and great movie for families, resulting to be an exciting movie from beginning to end, this is an amazing feel nice film and I was hoping to see more like it. Direction by Steve Carr (Movie 43, Iznogoud, Rebound, Paul Blart: Mall Cop , Are We Done Yet?, Next Friday) is ordinary, fitting to comedy film. Rating 5/10 . Average but amusing.

Other versions about Hugh Lofting's acclaimed tales were starred by Eddie Murphy, made in 1998, 2001 and 2006, such as : The first ¨Dr Dolittle¨ (1998) by Betty Thomas with Murphy, Ossie Davis, Oliver Platt, Peter Boyle, Richard Schiff, Kristen Wilson, Jeffrey Tambor, Raven-Symoné. ¨Dr Dolittle 2¨ by Steve Carr. ¨Dr Dolittle 3¨ with Kyla Pratt, Kristen Wilson, Walker Howard, John Amos. ¨Dr. Dolittle 4: Tail to the Chief¨ (2008) by Craig Shapiro with Kyla Pratt, Peter Coyote, Malcolm Stewart, Niall Matter. And recent ¨Dolittle¨ (2020) by Stephen Gaghan with Robert Downey, Antonio Banderas, Michael Sheen , Jim Broadbent, Jessie Buckley, Emma Thompson , Rami Malek. And the 1967 classic ¨Doctor Dolittle¨ by Richard Fleischer with Rex Harrison, Anthony Newley, Samantha Eggar, Peter Bull , Muriel Landers, Portia Nelson, William Dix and Richard Attemborough. Wholeheartedly recommend for a great family movie. Fun enough and great adventure for kids and adults. Doctor Dolittle is one of the most joyous entertainment for the whole family.

Continuing my plan to watch every Eddie Murphy movie in order, I come to Doctor Doolittle 2 (1998)

Plot In A Paragraph: Doctor Doolittle (Murphy) tries to save a forest.

Like Nutty Professor 2, this is the worst kind of sequel!! It exists just because the first movie made money. Again I watched this with my girlfriends daughter, I don't think many people over the age of 10, will find much to enjoy here, as it is pretty much laugh free, devoid of any original ideas, the animal "lip synching" is awful and like with the Nutty Professor 2, the humour is ruder and cruder!! And sadly Murphy is now the angry out of touch Dad, yelling at his teenage daughter to open her bedroom door. There are no attempts to make any jokes to even amuse, let alone entertain the adults watching this. Shrek was far mor intelligent than this. Murphy is the best thing in this, he is not at his best, but he has a relaxed charm. Sadly it's not enough to save the movie. I spent most of my time playing 'Guess the celebrity voice'

Like with The Nutty Professor sequel, this performed slightly worse than the original, but it was still a decent hit, as Dr Doolittle grossed $112 Million at the domestic box office to end the year the 16th highest grossing movie of 2001. Due to the financial success of both movies, I'm actually surprised there has not been third movies in both cases
