Eddie Murphy reprises his role as Dr. John Dolittle in the sequel to the 1998 box-office smash 'Dr. Dolittle'. Murphy is great (again) as John who has to make two rare bears mate before her forest home is destroyed...
Kristen Wilson and Kyla Pratt return as mother/daughter Lisa and Maya Dolittle. Kyla's role in the second film is minimal, as the focus seems to be on the relatinship between John and eldest daughter Charisse (all-grown-up-and-li'l-miss-sexy Raven-Symone, who dropped the é for this film). Raven-Symone is soooooo good in this movie - I hope to see more of her real soon.
The animals are great, and Lucky and the Drunk Monkey return (Where the HELL was Rodney?!?). But this time, Dr. Dolittle must make Archie the Bear and Ava the bear (Friend's Lisa Kudrow) produced offspring - and it won't be easy - Archie's an all-singing, all-dancing circus bear!
The celebrity animal voices are present again, with an impressive guest list including Molly Shannon, popstar Mandy Moore, Frankie Muniz (Malcolm in the Middle), Renée Taylor (The Nanny), Jamie Kennedy (Scream), Andy Dick and soul singer Issac Hayes.
Altogether a funny feel-good film, but unfortunately doesn't match the hilarity of the first film. That aside, I loved seeing Raven-Symone grown up, so it doesn't lose by much!
