“Dolittle” (*** out of four) was a likeable reboot of the “Doctor Dolittle” franchise this time with Robert Downey, Jr. in the title role who has turned into a hermit after the death of his wife in England but when Queen Victoria (Jessie Buckley) falls ill- he must re-discover his sense of adventure and love of animals to set sail and find a cure to save her. Not a total success but still breezy and engaging and full of cute animals and their wisecracks. Downey is a little miscast but does what he can with his role and his English accent. Emma Thompson, Rami Malek, Octavia Spencer, Tom Holland, and others provide the entertaining voices of the animals.
