.DeadlinePete reviews DolittleMovie |
I was a fan of Eddie Murphy’s attempts to put a contemporary spin on the 100-year-old Hugo Lofting children’s bookin both its 1998 original and 2001 sequel. I even confess to really liking the critically bashed 1967 musical version starring Rex Harrison that still managed to nab a Best Picture nomination, along with two Oscars including for the catchy song “Talk To the Animals.” But the new, and very expensive, 2020 model starring the usually reliable Robert Downey Jr. is largely a miss.
The effects work on the animals is excellent, but the script often lets them down. It even appears there was probably a lot of tinkering in post-production with the dialogue, and though some of the jokes work, many fall flat. The script is credited to Dan Gregor, Doug Mand and director Stephen Gaghan, a fine filmmaker but one whose previous real-life films likedon’t exactly scream that he’s got the chops to steer a massive children’s movie like this one.
