I don't get why this is getting so many bad reviews. (I thought it wasn't that bad) Just light hearted, brainless fun, that I'm sure kids will enjoy. The only thing I wasn't keen on was Downey's accent.

This is real bad. The plot makes no sense. There is no real humor. I have no idea what RDJ is doing.

What a disappointment compared to the Eddie Murphy Dr. Dolittle movies that were actually funny. Its very hard to understand RD Jr.'s "Welsh" accent. The majority of the humor doesn't hit. Just bad all around.

This movie is phenomenal where it does really send your imagination running wild. It is great to see Harry Collett on the big screen, where finally all his hard work and dedication has paid off especially now getting to act along with the amazing legendary Robert Downey Jr, like they say when one door closes another one opens, like in Roberts case it is a nice transition from legendary avengers to a lovely family friendly film Dolittle. The VFX is so amazing really adds to the whole magic of the experience while Dolittle is on his travels, also while being backed by his trusty animals with an amazing voice cast that just brings hilarious life to these animals. The overview of the story is where Dolittle is suffering from a horrific loss where he has closed his animal sanctuary for good all in solitary confinement that he is depressed while still living with his Animals who he can communicate with. Just until these two amazing young people turn up to save him from his loneliness, so he can be with his own kind again, where these amazing kids are Tommy Stubbins portrayed by Harry Collett and Lady Rose portrayed by Carmel Laniado, whilst having a lovely cute romance along the way, where they both turn Doctor Dolittles life around for the better. Dolittle eventually agrees to go to the palace after finding out from Lady Rose that the queen is sick where he could lose his animal sanctuary for good if the queen was to die. He eventually embarks on a voyage on his ship with his stowaway apprentice Tommy Stubbins to try to save the queen with lots of twists and turns along the way. All whilst Tommy Stubbins is teaching himself, whilst also being taught by Dolittle to communicate to the animals along the way. As we all kind of really hope that we can communicate to our animals, so that they can understand us too. There is a lot of funny humour in this film with jokes that have secret meanings for older ages that they will understand, my personal favourite flipping the evil bad guy Mudfly off, whilst still leaving funny jokes in there for the younger kids too. This movie is euphoric really takes you back to being a kid letting your imagination running wild. Remaining with a key message to always be open to any possibility and never give up even when something terrible happens, therefore remaining optimistic about the future and not letting anything or anyone put you down.

Fittingly, Dolittle does very little to entertain. Usually reliable actors are served badly by a terrible script, and the whole thing fails to raise a chuckle or a sense of wonder. Lets hope RDJ finds something worthier of his talents next time, although it could be said that his mix of accents here is partly responsible for the film's failings.
