Reception

Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club gave the film a negative review and wrote: "Funny only when it attempts to be serious [...] Dish Dogs should, but sadly won't, kill off the angst-ridden Gen-X comedy once and for all." [2]

Godfrey Cheshire of Variety called the film "lightweight but agreeable" and predicted it would find an audience when released on video. [3]

Dr. Dolittle is a 1998 American fantasy comedy film directed by Betty Thomas, written by Larry Levin and Nat Mauldin, and starring Eddie Murphy in the title role along with Ossie Davis and Oliver Platt. The film was based on the series of children's stories of the same name by Hugh Lofting, but used no material from any of the novels; the main connection is the titular character Dr. John Dolittle and his ability to talk to animals, although the Pushmi-Pullyu, a much-loved feature of the books, notably makes a very brief appearance in a couple of scenes.
