Beneath the potty jokes and slapstick lies a sweet message about authenticity. Dolittle learns that silencing who you truly are—even if it’s weird—will only make you miserable. His journey from uptight surgeon to a man literally listening to the “lesser” voices around him is a metaphor for empathy we could all use.

Before he was a family-friendly comedy icon, Eddie Murphy delivered one of his most underrated—and unexpectedly heartfelt—performances in Dr. Dolittle .
