Doctor Dolittle (1998) (Full Screen Edition) description
There's something intrinsically funny about tactlessly truth-telling talking animals. And there are plenty of those--and laughs to go with them--in this 1998 reimagining of Hugh Lofting's children's story. Murphy plays the doctor in question, a modern-day San Francisco physician who discovers that he can understand what animals have to say. Director Be ... review details

Dr. Dolittle is perhaps one of the funniest Eddie Murphy films around. Let's be honest- those of you who own dogs and cats, you've probably wondered what it would be like if they could communicate with you. Obviously they can't talk to you, but animals can feel so HUMAN sometimes, that sometimes you believe you can actually understand what they want and need. That's what makes this movie so funny. A variety of famous comedians do the voice overs for many of the animals in the film, and most of the time the movie maintains a humorous pace. I was laughing on several occasions, especially with the dog that Eddie accidentally hit with his car that triggered the whole "He can talk to animals" storyline (again).
The pigeons were also funny, who were communicating with each other like real husbands and wives who don't get along, and they actually went to Eddie Murphy for some kind of marriage counseling-type thing (I kid you not!) I also enjoyed the tree owl who had a stick stuck to his wings, and the drunk monkey. I think my favorite scene in the film was when word got around throughout the animal kingdom that Eddie could understand and help animals, and so Eddie opened the door to a variety of different animals storming into his place, demanding help since Eddie was the famous animal doctor. It's really a strange movie, but I had a good time laughing and enjoyed just about everything.
As you can probably guess, Eddie Murphy was the only person who could understand the animals, so whenever an animal talked to him and he talked back, the people around him were looking at him like he was crazy! That's another thing that made the movie so funny. A solid film that's funny from beginning to end. |
