This is a very different beast to the original Dolittle film. It lacks the songs, it lacks the imagination, it lacks the giant snail but it does have the benefit of CGI. Murphy and the plot as so very different but the younger audience won't care because there is a drunk monkey and cheeky rats. And that's what this film is. Whereas the original was all about the creativity of the animals, their relationships, their language, the songs and the doctor, this remake is only about the comedy of the CGI animals. Murphy does what he does in his usual over-exuberant style but as would be expected, he is over-shone by the animals.
Adult score: 1/5
