Animal-vet antics a la Murphy; some potty humor.
for Ages 8–9This review of Dr. Dolittle 2 was written by Nell Minow
Parents need to know that the movie is raunchier than the usual PG, with a lot of bathroom humor and sexual references (kids may ask what it means to be "in heat"), but it's much milder and sweeter than other Murphy vehicles like the PG-13-rated first episode and the Nutty Professor movies.
Dolittle (Eddie Murphy) is charged with introducing a tame bear into the forest so that he can mate with the last female of their endangered species, in order to protect the forest from developers. Steve Zahn and Lisa Kudrow provide voices for the two bears. Meanwhile, Dolittle has some problems at home with his teen daughter Charisse (played by TV's Raven) who has a new boyfriend (rapper Lil' Zane) and a secret she isn't ready to discuss.
Before the opening credits are over, we've seen bathroom jokes and sexual humor, but at least this time it's rated PG. It really is a shame, because Murphy is just great as Dr. Dolittle, content to be the straight man to an adorable assortment of wise-cracking animals. And the story is a cute one. DR. DOOLITTLE 2 is a twist on the old classic Born Free. Zahn and Kudrow voice the bears so deliciously that viewers want them to get together as much as Doolittle does.
Watch for the fun cameo by Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin. Other celebs do voice cameos, including an uncredited Arnold Schwarzenegger, but this segment offers the most laughs.
Dr. Dolittle (Eddie Murphy) the beloved doctor with the up-Roar-ious critter-communicating talents. This time around Dolittle plays Cupid to a bumbling circus bear to help a group of forest creatures save their habitat. With the aid of his mangy madcap animal friends, Dolittle must teach this overgrown teddy the ways of true romance in time to save his species and his home.
I think this movie is a funny movie. This movie is one of the funniest movies out there. So, i recommend you watch it!
