Critics across the board have panned the new Dolittle movie in a damning assessment reminiscent of last year's reception to the big-budget adaptation of Cats.
Dolittle, starring Robert Downey Jr as the beloved veterinarian who can speak to animals, was summed up by the Associated Press as a"big-budget train wreck", and an"out-and-out disaster" by Rolling Stone. Screencrush went as far to say it was"the first worst movie of 2020" as an"unpleasant, incoherent mess that feels like it was stitched together from outtakes and reshoots of something that used to look totally different."
It was particularly chastised for its plotline - which Rolling Stone said"defies logic or basic human interest" - and also the script's focus on toilet humour. "The charm-starved adaptation simultaneously tests audiences' patience with overly complicated, noisy scenarios," according to Variety.It added:"What should have been an awe-filled adventure quickly curdles into an awful one, thanks to a pedestrian formula and the filmmakers' fixation on fart jokes.
Too many remakes annoying
OK well if the critics panned it it's definitely worth a watch then 👌
