Dolittle

维多利亚女王时代著名的医生兼兽医,异于常人的约翰·多力特医生在痛失爱妻七年之后,隐居在多力特庄园的高墙内,只与自己饲养的珍稀动物为伴。谁知年轻的女王罹患重病,多力特只得启航,踏上一段恢宏旅程,前往一座神秘的岛屿寻找治病良方。沿途历经重遇宿敌,发现神奇生物,他也重拾起了智慧和勇气。与多力特一起踏上旅程的,还有一位年轻的、自封的学徒和一群七嘴八舌的动物朋友,其中有一只焦虑的大猩猩、一只热情但呆头呆脑的鸭子、终日斗嘴的一只愤世嫉俗的鸵鸟和一头欢乐的北极熊,以及一只顽固的鹦鹉,它同时也是多力特最信任的顾问和知己。
Ok, yet another movie that was let down by the lack of imagination in our society. This isn’t the same movie as any other Dolittle with the same name. Dr. Dolittle doesn’t have animals talking to him — he speaks their language. If you’re going to compare it to anything, compare it to the original, not the Eddie Murphy version.
The movie opens with Robert Downey Jr. grunting, growling, clicking, and making every other animalistic sound you can imagine. He’s not losing his mind — that ship already sailed — those are just the ramblings of a man who hasn’t spoken to another human in years.
This film has it all: comedy, action, great acting, strong voice work, and an honestly wonderful story. I think people went in expecting Eddie Murphy’s Dolittle and missed that this was a remake and re-imagining of the original. And if that doesn’t sell you, there’s a scene where a parrot tells a gorilla to kick a tiger in the “down there.”
Watch this movie if you're willing to ignore previous iterations of the Dr and just want a good clean laugh.
