80Even more family-friendly than its immensely popular predecessor.
-
75Cute, crude and good-hearted movie.
-
75Wholesome entertainment that will please the under-10 crowd without boring their parents.
-
75What makes the "Dolittle" movies stand out from this menagerie is the superb casting and matching of the animals and their human voices.
-
70The good-natured silliness of it all kept me laughing.
-
63Cleaner, cuter animal antics.
-
63Pure situation comedy, and it's still fresh enough to provoke laughs.
-
63It's the kind of material that is either going to make your day or not.
-
63It's warmer and fuzzier than the first film, though every bit as tedious.
-
60Murphy's second outing as the M.D. who talks to the animals is surprisingly engaging.
-
60Mr. Murphy is not given much to do in this sloppy, good-hearted sequel, so he graciously allows himself to be upstaged by all manner of animatronic, celebrity-voiced talking animals.
-
60Brings bite as well as bark to the funnier sequel.
-
58Murphy gives a reined in performance that, every so often, shows a spark of the ''Shrek''ish donkey within.
-
50There's barely a scene in this movie that taps his (Murphy) special brilliance.
-
50A tired, cobbled-together concoction.
-
50It is the Eddie Murphy movie where Eddie Murphy has next to nothing to do. Do little says it all.
-
50Overall it's a funny film, but parents should decide if the anti-gay and misogynist elements are worth the laughs.
-
50The best that the good doctor (Murphy) can do, encumbered as he is by Larry Levin's screenplay and its low joke quotient, is discipline the dog, lay into the lizard and shtick it to the bear.
-
50It's dispiriting to watch him (Murphy) stand patiently by and concoct reaction shots for quipping raccoons and dancing bears.
-
50It's a modest family comedy, probably fun for kids and reasonably cute, or at least not too insufferable, for most of the grownups who will take them.
-
40At its best, Dr. Dolittle 2 is an inoffensive mish-mash of cute talking animals and their somewhat less-than-cute human buddies.
-
40Alleged family fun.
-
40Its successful moments (and they are only moments) remind us that this is a squandered opportunity.
-
30Ever so slightly defective in the area of coherence; it plays as if it should have been written by a committee but they didn't bother to convene one.
-
30Best news: over in 87 minutes.
-
30Too much plot and too much faith in special effects and adolescent humor doom this "Babe" wannabe.
-
25It's a terrible picture: ugly and illogical and clumsily staged and peppered with crude, witless humor.
-
25All that's left are cute animals with animated mouths spitting out fitfully inspired one liners, sophomoric sexual innuendo and enough poop gags to last a lifetime.
