Based on Hugh Lofting's stories, this is a remake of the 1967 film about a 19th century English doctor named John Dolittle who talks to animals and dreams of one day teaching them how to talk back to him.
I love that movie Doctor Dolittle. It makes me laugh and I enjoy watching it when I can.
Eddy Murphy is excellent, as (almost) always. Very fun, but only borrows the movie title from the original Rex Harrison movie.
