Critic Reviews

  • Rita Kempley, Washington Post

    Murphy, who was upstaged by the talking animals in the original, brings bite as well as bark to the funnier sequel.

  • Joe Leydon, Variety

    The non-human actors are nothing short of hilarious.

  • Ty Burr, Entertainment Weekly

    Pure kiddie matinee stuff.

  • Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter

    Like any good vaudeville routine, this one is getting better with practice.

  • Jessica Winter, Village Voice

    It's dispiriting to watch [Murphy] stand patiently by and concoct reaction shots for quipping raccoons and dancing bears.

    I haven't yet seen the first DR. DOLITTLE, but this sequel is terrible.

  • Bethany M


    Funny. But not neccisarily the best of Eddie Murphy's work. A good comedy at best! Not great.

  • Lucas M


    I don't believe that make a continuation.

  • KJ P


    I actually felt that this sequel was a small improvement on the original!

  • Wahida K


    Not as much good as the Prequel one.
