If you’ve seen one animal talk, you’ve seen them all, right? Did any of us know that the cute little piggy Babe was going to lower the boom of copycats for almost a decade to come? Eddie Murphy’s latest tale, Dr. Doolittle 2, is no laugh riot.
For a man labeled at one time the funniest man on the planet, the doc is out on this film. The sequel is a tangled mess of dime store laughs and talking animals that never gets off the ground. I’d love to get into the plot, however, ruining the few moments that it shows up in the movie doesn’t seem all that wise.
Murphy seems to have a firm grip on family comedies these days. All the poopy and potty jokes can be funny to adults, but this is gaga humor that only tots could really appreciate. Murphy hasn’t completely lost his edge, well, he has, but at least he can make your kids laugh.
