  • Dr. Dolittle 2 -- Lackluster talking-animals comedy in which the doctor (Eddie Murphy) moves into a forest to encourage two endangered-species bears to mate so the forest can be declared a protected area, safe from greedy developers. Director Steve Carr offers a rehash of the same sassy wisecracks between Murphy and the critters in a drawn-out, sometimes sweet but often rude sequel. Numerous crude references and potty jokes. The U.S. Catholic Conference classification is (A-II) -- adults and adolescents. (PG) -- parental guidance suggested. June 2001




    These movies have been evaluated for artistic merit and moral suitability by the media reviewing division of Catholic News Service. The reviews include the CNS rating, the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and a brief synopsis of the movie.

    The classifications are as follows:

    A-I -- general patronage;
    A-II -- adults and adolescents;
    A-III -- adults;
    L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
    O -- morally offensive.

    Note: Some movies previously were designated A-IV. Older films with this classification should be regarded as classified L.
