Dolittle might be searching for a snail, but it's this movie that's sluggish. A grinding and overlong chore to watch, "Doctor Dolittle" is a Hollywood musical that's worth just forgetting.

Rex Harrison's genial Dr. Dolittle and the film's clever blend of comedy and heart is miles away from the horrific Eddie Murphy remake. This film manages to keep a lot of the magic that exudes from the classic book.
