"Dr. Dolittle 2" continues the story of Dr. Dolittle (Eddie Murphy), a
doctor-gone-veterinarian who can talk to animals. The sequel begins
with a raccoon gangster trying to recruit Dr. Dolittle into saving a
forest that is going to be taken over by a lumber company. Dr.
Doolittle takes the lumber company to court and an agreement is made:
if Dr. Dolittle can get the lone Western Pacific bear, Ava, to mate,
the forest will be saved under the Endangered Species Act. Comedy and
action ensues as Dolittle tries to introduce a circus bear, Archie,
into the wild in order to save the forest.
Director Steve Carr's intentions of this movie seems to prove anything
can be possible if one puts effort into it. This is shown by Dolittle's
attempts to reintroduce a bear which has been raised by humans back
into the forest. Another example is when the animals perform various
comic scenes of stopping forest destruction (both inside and outside
forest), but with the more serious intentions of saving their home in
mind. A different perspective from the director is the underlying idea
explaining it is important to preserve the forests and their
inhabitants. As seen in this movie, many animals, such as the Western
Pacific Bear, are becoming extinct.
While this movie had good intentions, in reality it was just a bad
movie. The animals were cute, but many of the "comedy" scenes were
trying a little too hard to be funny. This movie was supposed to be for
kids, but there was a large amount of adult situations in this film.
Excluding Eddie Murphy, most of the actors were extremely annoying
thanks to corny dialogue and poor character expressions. The only
positive about this movie were the themes; a little effort can go a
long way and the importance of forest preservation. "Dr. Dolittle 2" is
a poor sequel and I would only recommend this movie to someone with a
"cheep" sense of humor.
