I thought it was fun. I don't regret the time spent watching it. It had a stellar cast, though most were unrecognizable, which made watching the credits fascinating. My favorite version of this story cinematically will always be the original with Rex Harrison, but this is an interesting take on the adventures of the good doctor, and I don't understand the low reviews. It is perfect for a family movie night, especially for families who have a zoo of their own at home (kids, animals, and don't forget the parents!). Enjoy!
