Synopsis:
Maya Dolittle (Kyla Pratt) just wants to be a normal teenager, but there's one small problem...She's inherited her father's uncanny ability to talk to animals! Her special talent keeps landing her in the doghouse with her parents, and it's driving her friends completely ape! At a summer dude ranch, Maya tries to hide her unique ability so she can fit in, but when her friends are in trouble, she comes to the rescue as only a Dolittle can-enlisting the aid of the ranch's uproarious and outrageous talking animals! This hilarious third installment of the wildly popular Dr. Dolittle series is more family fun than a barrel of talking monkeys...and lots easier to clean up after!

Worldview:
Dr. Doolittle's daughter is having trouble coping with her ability to talk to animals, because she is afraid if her peers find out about her ability, she will be ostracized. Although this movie was rated PG, I was disappointed by some of the themes presented in "Dr. Doolittle 3." There are times in the film when the teens are portrayed as basically cruel, insensitive people who are only concerned with themselves and their images, and I found this very disconcerting. However, toward the end of the movie, some of them seem to have a sudden change of heart. The film tries to explain away one girl's behavior by saying it was caused by her jealousy of another girl. Still, there is a message in this film of personal growth and team work and for these reasons we recommend the film for all ages.
