I spent a lot of time watching this movie when I was a kid, and I always had fun. But when I look back at Dr. Dolittle now after 10 years, I can hardly help smiling bitterly. Was this farce really my favourite comedy? 50%

I used to like this movie a lot on TV. Sure, it was mainly because it was about animals, it was cute, and I was totally into it. Kids like this sort of thing a lot. Otherwise, it's just a pretty ordinary comedy about how one guy can do something others can't, everyone thinks he's nuts, but he proves to them that he's gifted.
