Although there are laughs to be had in Dr. Dolittle 2, its preoccupation with toilet humor and Murphy's restrained performance makes this a missed opportunity.

Murphy, who was upstaged by the talking animals in the original, brings bite as well as bark to the funnier sequel. Jan 6, 2002 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It's dispiriting to watch [Murphy] stand patiently by and concoct reaction shots for quipping raccoons and dancing bears. Jun 26, 2001 | Full Review…

Often tedious, occasionally cheap looking and always unimaginative, this should certainly put paid to any plans for a third installment. But, this being Hollywood, I wouldn't bank on it. Feb 13, 2003 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

The script is lackluster and unambitious. Well, lame really. Eddie Murphy is truly the only reason to see DR2. Dec 8, 2002 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

This more civilized Dr. Dolittle may be less zany than he used to be, but at least you can take the kids to see this one. Oct 15, 2002 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Funny. But not neccisarily the best of Eddie Murphy's work. A good comedy at best! Not great.

I don't believe that make a continuation.
I actually felt that this sequel was a small improvement on the original!
Not as much good as the Prequel one.
