I wanted to finish the Dr. Dolittle sequels and in some way I was interested to see how they would continue the story with Mya Dolittle. Well, this movie turned into a totally unrealistic typical pre-teen comedy that had no originality or interest, even if it was meant for a specific crowd. It was insulting to any human's intelligence, I mean, are we supposed to believe everyone naturally knows how to dance at a party? Or that Mya could sing beautifully, dance wonderfully, and be perfect and not be popular?
Mya is now considered a freak at her school since she can talk to the animals. But when her mom realizes she still needs to find herself, she sends Mya to a ranch where Mya changes her name to get a new look and personality. But she ends up falling for the ranch owner's son and they face another ranch of snobs, the ranch owner is about to loose his farm and Mya decides to pull the team together to win the money to keep the ranch.
Well, you see where this story is going, and it's a typical one. I was really disappointed with the movie and I wouldn't really recommend it, even for pre-teens, for me, I think it has insults their intelligence, it's just one of those movies, believe me. Stick with Eddie Murphy, he's a professional.

So they really do need Eddie Murphy
The first movie was great, the second OK, but the third......to be not continued.
At the beginning you see the director focusing on other character of the Dolittle family, the teenager daughter of Dr. Doolittle, trying to give the movie a fresh twist. But folks the only thing it did was make this film flat, with a very few laughs, no charisma and in a horrifying way of being predictable in almost of the movie, it's like you can see how its gonna end after you've watch the firsts 15 min.
In conclusion this movie its not even good to entertain kids, I don't
recommend this one, just skip it. The only thing i get from Dr. Dolittle 3 is that i miss Eddy Murphy's way of making me laugh until my lungs come out from my nose holes...
They really didn't need Murphy. What they DID need was a good script writer!
I have to say that I did not hate this movie. I can understand the 3. rating here at IMDb, but I cannot understand the poor reviews.
Kyla Pratt is awesome in this work! She is really coming into her own, AND she can sing like a bird.
The script is where the fault lies. You have a bunch of kids who must save a ranch, which is going out of business. This vehicle is so overused it has become cliché, and it sure did feel old, musty, and stale, in spite of Kyla Pratt and her stellar performance.
Some have suggested that they needed Murphy back for this installment to make it work. I say Murphy isn't necessary in ANY of his later films. What they needed was a good screenwriter, and producers who knew better than to approve a bucket of schlock as this.
It could have been great.
It rates a 4.4/10 from...
