critics consensus

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. Read critic reviews

Audience Reviews for Dr. Dolittle 2

Nov 21, 2012

No need for it to be made, A few funny bits but found it boring and after the first film the whole able to talk to animals wasn't really funny anymore.

Jamie C Super Reviewer
Jun 24, 2011

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

Bethany M Super Reviewer
May 28, 2011

Better than the original, but that's not saying much.

Dillon L Super Reviewer
