Even star Eddie Murphy seems bored.

Dr. Dolittle is destined to be a money maker, since kids will see the talking animals and be instantly taken in, but it is the film's utter lack of anything wholesome that causes its downfall.

A cloying, humorless motion picture whose only assets are the work of Jim Henson's Creature Shop and a couple of good one-liners by a pair of rodents.

This gimmicky animal tale is crude but funny.

It's quite funny for the first thirty minutes, but after that it's kind of like beating a dead horse. A dead talking horse.

The movie will not harm anyone, and in the audience I saw it with, lots of parents and kids seemed to be laughing together.

Dr. Dolittle runs out of ideas long before the projector runs out of film.

Slim on story and rife with scatological jokes, the film may strike a chord with pre-teens but misses for an older crowd despite some nifty effects and broad humor.

The old actor's rule -- never work with animals or kids -- has never seemed more apt. The animals steal the scene from Murphy every time, and he gives it up gladly.
