I really, really liked this movie.
Christopher G. gave it a 10:
Like the previous Dr. D, this is anexcelent movie, had me laughing the whole way through. It's nice to see a movie once in a while with no extemely vulgar langage in it. What has happened to the movie industry? The only movies we seem to get are full of sex and nasty langage. Is this what THEY think the public wants? I say not. 10 thumbs up for Mr. Murphy.

Earning from me about as much applause as the first movie, Dr. Dolittle 2 is not a movie you will struggle to enjoy. It is a crude, funny, warm and reasonably clever fantasy with heaps of potential and a storyline that allows the film to succeed thoroughly. Like "Shrek," Dr. Dolittle 2 is not only a film for children. There is a heap of adult humour hidden in its crude, good-hearted storyline, including a "Silence of the Lambs" spoof and an interesting take on animal mafia. If theres anything wrong, I missed the guinea pig character from the first movie, and Lucky, the leading animal character in the first film, doesnt have nearly enough lines. But, all the new animals, friend or fiend, all provide a purpose in the movie that is well used. The human characters also provide the same amount of emotion and comedy as they did in the first time, this time its the teen daughter of Dolittle that gets the attention, in the first movie it was really the younger daughter that got the family-angst centre. Kristen Wilson who plays the teen daughter supports the fab Eddie Murphy and has a surprise waiting in store for us at the end of the film. At times corny, at others plain fantastic, Dr. Dolittle 2 will have you smiling until the end.
Mel J. gave it an 8:
Better than the first one, but it was a little sloppy.
