Dr. Dolittle 3

About This Movie

Dr. Dolittle 3, directed by Rich Thorne, diverges a bit from its predecessors, offering a more youthful, family-centric narrative. The film has this lighthearted vibe, almost whimsical. You’ve got Lisa Dolittle sending her daughter to a dude ranch, which is a fun setting, and there’s a nice blend of comedy and fantasy throughout. The pacing is pretty brisk, keeping the younger audience engaged. The practical effects with the animals are charming, not overly polished, giving it a distinct feel compared to CGI-heavy films. The themes of self-discovery and animal communication are sweetly explored, though some might find it less layered than earlier entries. Overall, it stands out for its more laid-back atmosphere and family values.
