This nothingness doesn't even have the good grace to be a bad movie. The low-point of every single career involved.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 13, 2020

Dolittle ought to have ... done less.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 12, 2020

It's symptomatic of an awkward, unwieldy movie that has lots of material to show you and lots of surface distractions, but nothing at all to say.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 10, 2020

The animals are not funny - not even for younger viewers - or even interesting.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 8, 2020

The terrible script, the terrible visuals, the dull plot... the fact that at 101 minutes it really tested the patience, it is shockingly poor.

| Feb 7, 2020

It really is horribly inert, and every time Downey opens his mouth to say something unintelligible, the film dies a bit more.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 7, 2020

The chaotic cutting and framing of almost every scene suggests an enormous amount of Downey Jr's dialogue was re-recorded after the shoot: tellingly, the actor is rarely facing the camera while speaking, and often isn't even on screen.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 6, 2020

Thankfully, the CGI work is outstanding. This is enough to mean Dolittle is not a total steaming pile of doo-doo but it's still whiffy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 5, 2020

There's a lot wrong with Dolittle but one of the most shocking of the bunch is that Downey Jr.'s performance doesn't work at all. One might expect him to be well suited to play a lovable jerk, but there's no charm in his rendition of the character.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Feb 5, 2020

How does director Stephen Gaghan go from making the gripping political thriller Syriana to this?

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 5, 2020

An uncynical but mostly lacklustre kids' flick that doesn't find its voice, animal or otherwise.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 30, 2020

It is with deep and abiding regret that we report the passing of Robert Downey, Jr. - one of the last of his generation of trailblazers - over to the dark side.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Jan 29, 2020

Another Doctor Dolittle adaptation, another apology owing to the animal kingdom.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 28, 2020

Of course, it's just a children's film. But silly plots often are silly because they're taking the cultural path of least resistance...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 25, 2020

What did everyone think was the good idea here?

| Original Score: 2/10 | Jan 23, 2020

In a sense, this qualifies as animal cruelty.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 22, 2020

"Dolittle" is written and directed by "Syriana" writer-director Stephen Gaghan, which doesn't add up at all. Gaghan can do better, Tony Stark can do better, and you can do better as well.

| Original Score: D | Jan 20, 2020

Dolittle getting vomited on, Dolittle getting a face full of a fart. Where is the humor in any of this?

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 19, 2020

The drama and narrative is so flat you almost forget this is a 3D film.

| Jan 18, 2020

Maybe a gorilla has taken over my body, because I thought this was fine.
