About this movie

Successful physician and devoted family man John Dolittle (Eddie Murphy) seems to have the world by the tail, until a long-suppressed talent he possessed as a child - the ability to communicate with animals - is suddenly reawakened with a vengeance! Now every creature within squawking distance wants the good doctor's advice, unleashing an outrageous chain of events that turn his world upside down! Featuring an all-star menagerie of voice talent (including Chris Rock, John Leguizamo, Norm MacDonald, Albert Brooks, Gary Shandling and Ellen DeGeneres), this wild and woolly free-for-all is your prescription for hilarious hijinks and mischievous fun!

Dr. Dolittle was not great at all! The only time Eddie Murphy made me laugh was 1988 Coming to America & before that 1987 Beverly Hills Cop 2. I don't know why they made three more installments (Which are terrible & pretty much forgettable) when the first two were not good! Please stop with the Dr. Dolittle movies!!!
