Dolittle | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Dolittle suffers, a bit, from having so many characters, so many moving parts.

Dolittle barely pays attention to its story, and its three villains scream their characters' bad intentions well before they are actually revealed.

Downey brings a sense of bemused confusion, topped with a mealy-mouthed Billy Connolly impression that changes from scene to scene. It's a pantomime performance that makes the best of his finely tuned comic timing but feels sloppy and needlessly mannered.

The story is silly and hyperbolic. The performances are manic, at times ... But Dolittle is sure to charm a new generation of kids willing to take a journey into a magical world of talking animals and their one-of-a-kind hero.
