Blows the original out of the water


Eddie murphy is great in any remake of a film like this! Dr. Dolittle, The Nutty Professor! he's so talented!

reply

but not better than Rex Harrison who's Doctor Dolittle was based on the original stories, this was just a Murphy film that used the title.

Cry God for Harry, England and St George

EXACTLY!!!! Sort of like Nutty Professor or Haunted Mansion. They made a vehicle and used a name. The Rex Harrison was SO awesome, such a better story!

This movie and the nutty professor are some of Eddie's best work, it is for the whole family and has plenty of good laughs while also being well made.

When it comes to bad writing, bad acting, no one does it like the Sci Fi channel.

You actually understand your dog? That's interesting...

I would always love it if I could learn to speak animal languages, too...

yea there's certain sounds she makes,, that over the years I picked up on what they mean,, and since she's older, and inside more,, I have lot's more time to spend with her specially being laid off for the past month... it's very interesting what you can learn from you're dog if you spend enough time with you're dog.
