Hey guys, so today I'm going to be doing a review on the movie "Dolittle". As usual this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests) and spoiler free (however there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they can contain spoilers, however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the series.)
"A physician who can talk to animals embarks on an adventure to find a legendary island with a young apprentice and a crew of strange pets"
So once again this movie is one I wanted to watch due to seeing the trailer in the cinema. I love Robert Downey Jr and I also loved Dr Doolittle with Eddie Murphy in when we were children. I didn't know what to expect of this movie other than he was going to be a doctor who could speak to animals. This movie is definitely much more than that. I loved the adventure that the characters went on and found the acting in the movie amazing. Even though I haven't watched the original Dolittle movie I felt a huge sense of nostalgia whilst watching. Me and James could not take our eyes off the tv whilst watching this. I definitely recommend this movie to everyone, especially if you want a family movie night. The movie is so whimsical and nostalgic that anyone who watches it will love it.
My favourite characters in this movie:
- Poly: I love Poly and her sass so much. She honestly is my favourite character in the whole movie
- Chee - Chee: Look an anxious gorilla is honestly my most favourite thing in the world. Watching him through the whole movie and his character development made me so happy.
My least favourite characters in this movie:
- Dr. John Dolittle: Okay it was hard to find a least favourite character in this movie, but if I had to choose one it would definitely be Dr Dolittle. Hear me out, he's just so, selfish. It doesn't really change throughout the movie either. Don't get me wrong, he gets slightly better but his main character development is just very slow for me. I loved him in all other aspects though!
This movie is so wonderful and whimsical and I definitely recommend watching it!
What did you think of the movie? Who were your favourite and least favourite characters? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Please let me know down in the comments below!
As always, have a wonderful day.
Love, Lyndsay
