What Parents Need to Know
About Dr. Dolittle 3
Parents need to know that this third installment in the movie series focuses on a teen struggling to fit in with the "cool kids" at her school, most of whom ridicule her because she can talk to animals. While tweens may not relate to her particular gifts, they could see similarities between her social struggles and theirs. The movie is filled with positive messages about appreciating your own abilities, respecting differences of character, and finding strength and support from the right friends. The lack of questionable subject matter and presence of a diverse group of characters combine to make this a great choice for tweens.

i thought this movie was bad because its not like the first 2 at all. She goes to a ranch and does dumb stuff. This movie doesnt even have eddie murphy in it which kinda ruins it. She really isnt even a doctor.
