Plot: It's only a marginal improvement, but Dr. Dolittle 2 defies the odds by rising above its popular 1998 predecessor (and once again, let's not confuse these movies with the earlier Rex Harrison m...( read more read more... )usical). Eddie Murphy cakewalks through his title role with the confident professionalism of a comedian who knows when to share the spotlight--especially when he's being upstaged by a bunch of animals who steal all the punch lines. And once again the movie's aimed at a preteen audience, so many of those punch lines involve flatulence, bodily functions, and frequent use of the word butt.

The difference this time: Dr. Dolittle has settled into his talk-to-the-animals routine; his 16-year-old daughter (Raven-Symone) is getting to be a feisty handful (it turns out she's coping with a hereditary gift); and his lawyer wife (Kristen Wilson) is representing him in a trial against corporate villains who want to clear-cut a local forest. Naturally, the local critter mafia (their Don is a beaver... fugeddaboutit!) want Dolittle to fight for their cause, and this involves the successful mating of an endangered bear and a domesticated circus bear who's forgotten all the bear necessities of life in the wild. The bears are voiced by Lisa Kudrow and Steve Zahn, and they almost steal the show, but the whole menagerie (with digitally animated "talking") is equally amusing. Adults might wish that the filmmakers had tried harder to make a truly memorable sequel, but this is a movie for kids, and they're going to love it without quibbling. --Jeff Shannon

    I suppose it's okay and on par with the original. Steve Zahn provides the highlights voicing a shy bear.

    I didn't find Dr. Dolittle 2 to be as good as the first one, it still had its moments and made me laugh quite a bit.

    Funny, made me smile a lot. Well, isn't better than the first one, but not worse.
    The only thing better is the movie poster.
    Steve Irwin! Surprising..!

    This movie is, for a sequel, one of the better ones I've seen. The directors and producers didn't get lazy and rely on just the popularity of the first one to get it through. Eddie Murphy and Raven Symone are pure magic on screen, and you can tell that the cast had a lot of fun filming.

    The first one was hilarious! Probably because of the Rat with gas, though the gas wasn't funny, it was when Dr. Dolittle was trying to save the thing that got me.

    Don't listen to people who are critical they just have a problem with a good loving movie that does not have nudity and cusing coming out of the mouth every other word. Well news to you'll the reason they make movies like this is cause movies like them that have ionly cussing and nudity and horror currupts peoples minds. It also is not good for little kids. God did not want us to teach little kids are way, the bible say it is better to rtie a chain round are neck weith a weight and through ourself to the bottem the ocean then to do that. We are to teach children what is right.

    It's not very often that a sequel is better then the original but this one pulls it off. Eddie is great and the animals hilarious with the help of some really good actors!

    This one had potential but unfortunately it didn't live up to it. Not as good as the first but worth checking out with your family.

    The mafia type animals are ok but that is about the exctent of the humour in this movie. Sadly it was the last major Picture for Bart the bear ever to appear in....

    As always, as was the original idea of talking to animals. Dassling and terribly entertaining. Eddie Murphy took a role that most laughed at the idea, made it his own, and offered a wonderful creation in return.

    Less than impressed with this movie expecialy since they went so far from the Original story line, IDK if they wanted to "modernize" it or not they should have kept closer to the story line
