Customer Ratings & Reviews

A good family friendly movie. Different than the original but still quite good.

Love this movie! Other than the original, this is definitely the best version. I’ve been meaning to buy it for years, but kept putting it off. Saw it on sale and grabbed it! So happy o did!

We really love this movie! It is so cute and funny! It is a really good family movie! And it was a good price!

I enjoyed the film, although I wish they would have fleshed out the characters more, and what drove them. Sometimes the characters felt very wooden or stilted. Robert Downey Jr. and Michael Sheen are two of my favorite actors, and were great as their characters. I was impressed with both the children in the film, although I would have liked to see more action with the young girl. I also would have liked more adventure, or some extra daring-do in the movie. But overall, as a film, it's perfect to sit down with the family and some snacks, sit back and enjoy the fun.

Enjoyable wholesome film, fun for the whole family. As a fan of Eddie Murphy and how much I enjoyed his take on talking to and hearing animals, I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this film. After watching with the fam n forgetting about idiots running the country currently, it was a welcome respite and thoroughly entertaining. Happy I made the purchase.

It was excellent movie to watch with the family. With little kids there was a scene that was a little bit scary for them with the dragon. Overall it’s a cute funny movie for everyone. the extra bonus stuff was okay. They didn’t have any bloopers of the animals, which what we where hoping for. It was about the actors misty about Robert Downey Jr.

This was a lot better than I expected it to be. I love Robert Downey Jr but this just looked iffy in comparison to his "typical" roles. I was kinda bummed when it ended because I wanted to watch more! I hope they make another and continue where they left off. Oh, and my kids loved it too. :)

It was entertaining to me Due to the virus anything different is very good I thought the movie would go in one direction but it Didn’t I can’t go further or it’ll spoil the plot I thought it was good and I have no bad things to say about it and I’m not a Robert Downey fan bit I thought he did a good job

This movie is great for the whole family. The movie has plenty of action, adventure and humor. Adults can let themselves be a kid again and enjoy the movie for what it is. I do recommend this movie for all ages and would like to see a sequel film. I rate Dolittle 5 out of 5 stars.

Absolutely love this version, I cannot say enough great things! I highly recommend this movie to anyone who has read the book, enjoys a good fun movie and who likes/love's Robert Downey Jr! It's a great escapism, and I feel now a day's this is the perfect movie. Enjoy!!

Definitely different than the original but very fun to watch though somewhat predictable at times. If you want a no brainier fun movie this is it. Lots of good characters voicing various animals which will keep you wondering if you have guessed right until you see the credits.

My kids convinced me to buy this because they are animal fanatics. It was pretty good, the cast of voices was a lot of good actors. I didn't know that this was originally written for Johnny Depp before his legal issues and i think Robert Downey did a good job in the role.

I did enjoy this movie a lot. Don’t know why it did so bad on the big screen. Robert Downey Jr was good in this movie. However not Tony Stark or Sherlock Holmes caliber. But a great family

The movie itself is outstanding! I appreciate RDJr and the antics he brings to any movie, but, in this movie he excelled. Best Buy has great every day prices and outstanding deals/ sales. It seemed the best of both worlds.

Seems most reviewers who panned this in 2020 missed a major point: This is a kids' movie. If you expect RDJr to be Iron Man in this one, you'll miss out on a fun movie. Quirky? Yes. Deep? No way, but what kids' movies are?

So I have seen the original Dr Dolittle back when I was a kid (no not the Eddie Murphy one). You have to take this movie for what it is. My daughter LOVES it and that is ultimately what matters. It's an adventure for the whole family!

I love Robert Downey Jr. so, don't get me wrong. The talking animals were at best, at child-level, of technical expertise. The plot was razor thin, and had virtually no surprises. I blame writers, directors, and effects for the weak product. I think this movie breaks the age old rule, "there are no bad parts, just bad actors." Relax Robert, Sir Laurence Olivier, on his best day, could not have made this movie an Oscar winner! My advice to you RDJ, is pick better parts, or risk a stalling career. Definitely a fun movie for very young minds, but does leave you flat, as an adult. Three stars is a generous rating, almost completely due to its kid-value.

Doctor John Dolittle sets sail to find a mysterious island as the last hope to save the dying queen Victoria. The island supposedly has a healing tree which is the only thing that can save the queen.

A very good movie overall that was lessened by a sequence near the end that should not be in the movie. Very inappropriate and not needed to advance the movie,

I pleasantly enjoyed this movie there has been many remakes and I love them all from Rex Harris to Eddie Murphy all great this a must see love love this movie Robert Downey jr. Did a great job
