Details: Review Here's a film about a man who talks to the animals, but instead of '60s musical, we're treated to lover-man R&B and lascivious party jams, none of which have apparent connection to the film. The good news is that it may be the summer's best ready-made party tape.... [T]he album makes up for in sultry moves and shameless hooks what it lacks in logic. -- Entertainment Weekly Like most soundtracks, this one's inconsistent, but there are enough gems to keep it interesting. That's particularly true of former En Voguer Dawn Robinson, whose blistering vocals ... are filled with an old- school soul rarely heard these days -- USA Today Amazon.ca Eddie Murphy stars in the remake of this classic flick, but his presence is curiously absent on this soundtrack comp (not even a sound bite from the funnyman). Instead Dr. Dolittle is a solid collection of R&B and hip-hop heavyweights, including Ray J., Montell Jordan, Aaliyah, and All Saints. While there's nothing too groundbreaking here, the album does have its strong points. As the disc progresses, the ballads are left behind and the songs shift into high gear. Timbaland's up-tempo "Da Funk" and Eddie Kane & DeVille's "Push 'Em Up" are party-ready, and Dawn Robinson does a funky rendition of Aretha Franklin's "Rocksteady." But by the time the Sugarhill Gang codas with "Ain't Nothin' but a Party," you realize the bash is just warming up. --Jason Verlinde
