    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.

    It was an okay move. Not nearly as good as the first, but it was cute. The best things in the movie were Lisa Kudrow as the other bear, and Dolittle's eldest daughter (I'm 15 yrs old) . The soundtrack SUCKED!!! Way too much rap. And that pizza boy, the movie could have done without that. I sort of missed Rodney from the first movie.

    Better than the first one, but it was a little sloppy.

    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 there?s anything wrong, I missed the guinea pig character from the first movie, and Lucky, the leading animal character in the first film, doesn?t 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 it?s 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. Expand

    Okay, so some parts are funny, but overall it's a sorry excuse for animals that talk, and a bear that needs a woman.

    What makes the "Dolittle" movies stand out from this menagerie is the superb casting and matching of the animals and their human voices.

    It's a terrible picture: ugly and illogical and clumsily staged and peppered with crude, witless humor.

    Even more family-friendly than its immensely popular predecessor.
