Excellent, a Must See

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The first film was pretty funny, and the sequel wasn't absolutely awful, and what is the one thing that is inadvisable when you can't the big leading star to do another one, a straight to DVD film, but here it is. Basically Dr. John Dolittle's youngest daughter Maya (Kyla Pratt) has grown into a teenager, and has evolved considerably gaining the full ability to talk to animals, just like her father, and despite being an antisocial individual more interested in scientific projects. Believing herself to a freakish gift, and getting in a little bit of trouble with her mother Lisa (Kristen Wilson) catching her with mischievous friends, Maya is sent with and dog Lucky (Norm MacDonald) to the Durango ranch. She is hoping there to find herself, it is owned by Jud Jones (John Amos), with his son Bo Jones (Walker Howard) by his side, and the place is surrounded by animals from the near woodlands, and of course the stable horses. While there Maya is making sure no-one suspects her of being different, giving herself a fake surname, and she tries her best but fails when animals come up to her and want problems solved or just chats. But her talent comes in very useful when a neighbouring ranch wants to take over and Maya reveals her real self, use her ability to help save Durango, she in fact gains more respect that rejection she expected. So the ranch enter themselves against their rival in the local rodeo competition to win the $50,000 prize, which of course they do, and in the end Maya gets her first kiss with love interest Bo. Also starring Luciana Carro as Brooklyn Webster, Tommy Snider as Clayton, Chelan Simmons as Vivica, Phil Proctor as Stray Dog and Drunk Monkey, Paulo Costanzo as Cogburn the Rooster, Friends' Maggie Wheeler as Brown Hen and Fluffy Hen and Gary Busey as Butch. Pratt has grown into a very attractive young woman, if it wasn't for her prancing around (forgive the pun) I may have turned off, although saying that, I was bored throughout. With its TV made feel, and the most atrocious cheesy dialogue, including from the animals with their not as interesting as maybe previously special effects, this is an absolutely awful sequel fantasy comedy. Pretty poor!

Dr. Dolittle 3 was very disappointing to me. I think Disney channel could produce better movies. It was too original. Not imaginative and unique like the first 2. Eddie Murphy is much better than everyone there.Sure, they think they can put a cute boy in the movie and make everyone like it. I definitely would not recommend it for someone over 8! it is just too plain and wasn't thought into well. I think the creators got desperate and added a love interest into the movie. And, is this really what parents want their children to think of themselves? That if someone makes fun of them, to just change their entire appearance.

If you are looking for awful language and loads of sex then this isn't the movie for you. But if you are looking for a movie that is funny and you can watch with the kids then this is the one for you.No it doesn't have Eddie in it but every movie doesn't have too.I guess I would be considered old fashion in that I like movies that every other word isn't "f" this or "f" that when it has no reason for it.I would watch it again and will buy it as i have all the Doolittle movies.RENT IT TODAY!!

I marked spoiler because I'm not sure if anything is really a "spoiler" but a better detail then the plot outlined in the listing. I just wanted to warn people in case someone feels it does contain a spoiler.Basically, now both girls have the gift. The gift of talking to animals is played as a coming of age thing. Yes, both Raven and Eddie Murphy are not in it.The story focuses on Maya. She gets in trouble at school and her mother is trying to figure out what to do with her as Maya is 17 and acting out. Maya is having a hard time fitting in like her older sister. Her mother sends Maya to Durango, a dude ranch, that her mother went to as a child. During her time there she figures out what both her sister and father did in the previous movies.Is this movie a blockbuster? Probably not. However, it is a good family-type movie. It's better than some sequels I've watched even without Eddie Murphy and Raven. (I watch between 30 and 50 movies in any given month due to my job.)
