In my opinion, "Doctor Doolittle" will fail to connect with most adults. Its humor is of the pre-adolescent potty variety, and the few jokes aimed at older viewers are not very funny. Although Eddie Murphy gives a good comedic performance, he is let down by the script and his fellow actors. "Doctor Doolittle" doesn't strike me as much of a kid's movie (although I did not view it with kids), and as for adults, there is much better in the genre such as "There's Something About Mary". This movie is caught betwixt and between kid and adult and should have satisfied neither. But it made tons of money so that just goes to show you what I know.
