Newsweek - Unnamed
Dr. Dolittle is a zoo-and a blast. [6 July 1998, p. 67]

Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
Director Betty Thomas demonstrates her expertise at keeping indulgence at bay in even the coarsest of comic situations.

The New York Times - Unnamed
There is the language to consider, but despite the film's slow start, small children should take to the idea of communicating with animals.
50
L.A. Weekly - Ella Taylor
To his credit, Eddie Murphy knows it well enough to deliver a team-playing performance as the critter-phobic physician who reluctantly becomes the Albert Schweitzer of the animal kingdom.

TV Guide Magazine - Maitland McDonagh
Small children should be delighted by the menagerie of chatty critters, but their parents may be less than thrilled by what the animals have to say.
