DVD Reviews of Doctor Dolittle
DVD Review: That Dr. Dolittle
Summary: 4 Stars
Purchased this movie as a collector's item since part of the movie was filmed at Marigot Bay, Saint Lucia. I have added it to my collection of movies filmed in Saint Lucia.DVD Review: Great movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie when I was a kid and now my kids get to fall in love with it too. It is a classic!!DVD Review: Reliving my childhood
Summary: 4 Stars
Another fine performance by Rex Harrison. If you loved him in My Fair Lady, you'll also love him as the socially awkward (at least among humans) animal doctor.DVD Review: I love this film
Summary: 5 Stars
I really do. It's simple, easy to watch, and younger kids seem to love it. It's just an entertaining film without over-the-top, in your face effects. Best for kids or adults in a mellow mood I would think. It works for me.DVD Review: A great family film for lovers of whimsy
Summary: 5 Stars
I am convinced that whether or not you love this movie depends on how much you appreciate whimsical humor. There is no film more whimsical than Doctor Doolittle; but if you don't appreciate whimsical (odd, quaint, fanciful, eccentric) humor, you will find this movie simply silly and a bore. I for one love the spirit of whimsy that pervades this film, as well as the beautiful, memorable Leslie Briscusse score, and the lovely cinematography (As a child, I fell in love with the English countryside watching this film). So, check in your adulthood at the door, step back into the land of make-believe you once inhabited as a child, and you'll have a great time watching this film!
Description of Doctor Dolittle
Get ready for the wildest adventure of a lifetime in the most ambitious musical production ever brought to film. Earning a 1967 Academy Award nomination for Best Picture, this dazzling fantasy turns both ordinary and exotic animals into talking, dancing and singing sensations! Rex Harrison is unforgettable in this inspiring adaptation of Hugh Lofting's classic stories. Step into the English country home of the good doctor as he performs remarkable treatments on the wildest variety of patients you could imagine. Discover his secret cures and watch with wide-eyed excitement as he and his four-legged, fine-feathered friends charm their way into your heart!So, they let both Rex Harrison and Anthony Newley sing. This 1968 family musical is classier than the 1998 Eddie Murphy remake, with all of its scatological humor. This won a couple of Oscars (Best Song, Best Effects) and was nominated for seven more, including Best Picture. At the time of release, however, this was a box-office dud. Based (in part) on the magical Hugh Lofting book, it begins in Puddleby-by-the-Marsh, England, from which the world-renowned veterinarian Dolittle (Harrison) begins his quest for a giant pink sea snail. Children should find this enjoyable for its exotic creatures, such as the Pushme-Pullyou. Most adults may not agree as readily, although some of us consider this a guilty pleasure. --Rochelle O'Gorman
