The sequel to Eddie Murphy's smash hit family comedy, DR DOLITTLE, will certainly not disappoint fans of the first film. Murphy returns as the doctor, who has now garnered some...
more...measure of fame for his communication abilities, at least among the animal kingdom. Dolittle is also dealing with his rebellious teenage daughter (Raven Symone). But he drops everything when he's summoned by "The Beaver," the Godfather figure of the local forest, to help the animals preserve their home by stopping an overly aggressive lumber company. To save the forest, Dolittle has to take a trained performing bear (also an endangered species, who is endearingly voiced by Steve Zahn)--and introduce him to the wild to find a mate. Zahn's bear, who would rather star on Broadway than hibernate in the woods, is the comedic heart of the film, but there's an entertaining array of colorful animal characters, including Lucky the dog (Norm Macdonald reprising his role from the first film) and Pepito (Jacob Vargas), a chameleon who can't quite seem to blend in. Director Steve Carr (NEXT FRIDAY) keeps things light and lively, creating another surefire hit for Murphy and his animal crew.

I am often cautious when I go to the picture to screen a sequel,I could not think of any films that the sequel was better a part from the Godfather-but apart from that nah I could not know a better one!

To be honest I did not like the orginal but my friend dragged me there kicking and screaming!

Eddie Murphy( Bev. Hills) stars as Dr. John Dolittle, in the original, he was betted by some little fury thing. At last he is the star, providing us with a stronger central character. I like the way the movie gives Dolittle dimension by incorporating his family into the story. We learn more about his wife, and his sexy gorgeous lovely daughter who learns of a new ability and forms a love interest. Some of these family aspects work well, and others are poor. Charisse's relationship with her father is involving, but the subplot dealing with her boyfriend does not pay off.

Doctor Dolittle 2 so much more!

Dolittle as you know is a Vet who can talk to the animals. Dolittle has to save a forest that is about to be leveled by a powerful forester, Jones. An attorney, Pollak is the enemy, while Dolittle recruits his lawyer wife to defend his case in court. Dolittle's only true argument depends on a protected species of bear.
Dolittle rushes to persuade the animal to come to the wild and mate with the female bear, but will he want to leave his circus home?

It is a very good sequel better than the Klumps- which I would not talk about!!!
