DolittleDirector: Stephen GaghanCast: Robert Downey Jr, Antonio Banderas, Michael Sheen, Emma Thompson (voice), Rami Malek (voice), John Cena (voice), Kumail Nanjiani (voice), Octavia Spencer (voice), Tom Holland (voice), Craig Robinson (voice), Ralph Fiennes (voice), Selena Gomez (voice), and Marion Cotillard (voice). There is one scene in Dolittle that pretty much sums up what most of the movie is like, in which the titular Dr Dolittle has to help a dragon with a bout of, er, indigestion and is blasted with a typhoon of air coming from its rear end. Based on the character created by author Hugh Lofting, this stars Robert Downey Jr as Dr John Dolittle, an animal doctor who can actually talk to animals. Hot on his heals, however, is rival doctor Dr Blair Mudfly (Michael Sheen), who also seeks the fruit in order to further his own career as a royal doctor. For a movie with such a storied background, a global superstar in the lead and a stellar voice cast, Dolittle surprisingly does very little with them.
