Check out one of Eddie Murphy’s best comedies (and its so-so sequel) before it leaves Netflix

After the blockbuster success of 1996’s The Nutty Professor, Eddie Murphy was once again the biggest name in comedy, a title he’d enjoyed throughout the 1980s, but not so much during the first half of the 1990s. To capitalize on The Nutty Professor’s success, one of the first projects Eddie Murphy did next was Dr. Dolittle, a movie that’s definitely worth checking out before it leaves Netflix on January 31 (and, if you’ve got time after that, it’s sequel, Dr. Dolittle 2, also has its moments).
