“Dolittle” has been kind of a confounding film for a while now, for many reasons. Robert Downey Jr trying something completely different in his first movie since “Avengers: Endgame.” The movie landing in January despite its massive, blockbuster-level budget. The fact that it just looks strange. The marketing pushing the film as a “Hobbit”-esque whimsical fantasy adventure, which is not generally a type of movie that anybody is asking for.
The existence of this film becomes less puzzling when you realize that it’s basically just a live-action rendering of an animated film.
