What to Know

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.

Animal-vet antics a la Murphy; some potty humor. Go to Full Review Rita Kempley Washington Post 01/06/2002

Murphy, who was upstaged by the talking animals in the original, brings bite as well as bark to the funnier sequel. Go to Full Review Ian Freer Empire Magazine 08/06/2001

This sequel is crazy in a mellow way. Odds are you will pronounce it either dull or charming. Go to Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens 11/07/2019
The animals are adorable, the plot simple and the jokes funny. Don't be surprised if your kids want to "talk to the animals", not to mention bring some of them home, after seeing this one! Go to Full Review Film Threat 12/06/2005

See more Luke M @RT01695930 05/21/2023 Dr. Dolittle 2 is a horrible boring movie. I watched it 2 years ago so it is not fresh in my mind, but Dr. Dolittle 2 does live to it's name. Do little to, because this movie does little to entertain the audience. I would not recommend this movie to anyone, and now I'm scared to watch the first one ( I didn't watch the first one because it was PG-13, but I recently looked at the common sense rating and it was 9 and older) Dr. Dolittle 2 will do little to make this movie do able to enjoy. What a boring movie See more Read all reviews

Dr. Dolittle 2

Lucky the dog and Archie the bear get a lesson in human romantic behavior, courtesy of Dr. Dolittle (EDDIE MURPHY) and his wife, Lisa (KRISTEN WILSON). Dolittle (EDDIE MURPHY) discusses life in the wilderness with Archie the bear. Dolittle (EDDIE MURPHY) discovers that Archie the bear would rather kick back and watch television, than discover the wonders of life in the wilderness. Dolittle (EDDIE MURPHY) has his hands full with his rebellious teenage daughter, Charisse (RAVEN-SYMONE). Dolittle (EDDIE MURPHY) and his wife, Lisa (KRISTEN WILSON) share a laugh during the wilderness adventure. Dolittle (EDDIE MURPHY) and some four-legged friends hatch a plot to save a wilderness. Dolittle (EDDIE MURPHY) shows Archie how to strut his stuff. Eddie Murphy tries to clean up the act of Archie, a city-dwelling, wise-cracking, fast food-loving, circus-performing bear, in Dr. Dolittle 2. Dr. Dolittle (EDDIE MURPHY) talks to some ducks visiting his office for their yearly check-up in Twentieth Century Fox's comedy DR. DOLITTLE 2. EDDIE MURPHY returns as the doctor who can talk to animals in Twentieth Century Fox's comedy DR. DOLITTLE 2. View more photos
