Review of Doctor Dolittle (1998) by Matm — 07 Feb 2021

"Dr. Dolittle" might be a perfect movie. I just watched it in 2021 and the effects totally blow away anything I have seen in any modern movie. The jokes are constant throughout the movie and they all land.

Be warned that due to a lot of foul language, this is no kid’s movie. This is the way to do a special effects comedy. Congratulations to Jim Henson's Creature Shop for making it look like animals really can talk.

Murphy is spot on funny, but it is really the animals that deliver the best stuff, whether it is hilarious dialog or delirious pet antics.
