Review – Dr. Dolittle (1998)

Eddie Murphy stars as the reluctant hero of this rework of the famous story of the doctor who can talk to animals. The plot tends to meander a little as Murphy dithers about whether to pursue his career as a successful physician or give in to his long-repressed talent for communicating with the beasts. Aside from a few slightly raunchy jokes, this is strictly juvenile fare. Nonetheless, it’s amusing, if for no other reason than one can have a good time playing guess-the-celebrity-voice with the doctor’s furred and feathered friends. Mildly amusing
