One silly mistake has bugged me since I saw it...
13 March 2002
"Dr Doolittle 2" was OK for what it was...a cute way to pass a Saturday afternoon. But one simple, nitpicking detail that bugged me has stuck with me much longer than the memory of the actual film: in one scene, Dr. Doolittle refers to the Possum as "a rodent". MAN! Did they not have *anyone* checking facts on this movie? Any kid who likes animals can tell you that a possum isn't a rodent. It made the good doctor look incompetent...I mean, he's supposed to know everything about animals and then some. Otherwise, I liked the voice of Pepito the chameleon. Something about his "so young...so angry..." speech still makes me laugh. But I guess it just bothers me when filmmakers don't bother to check up on simple facts, and assume that the audience is so stupid that they won't notice the mistake. We're not, we do, and it does make a difference.
