When the Primm family moves to New York City, their young son Josh struggles to adapt to his new school and new friends. All of that changes when he discovers Lyle - a singing crocodile who loves baths, caviar and great music-living in the attic of his new home. The two become fast friends, but when Lyle’s existence is threatened by evil neighbor Mr. Grumps, the Primm’s must band together with Lyle’s charismatic owner, Hector P.

    Too recipe driven
    Cute but not snappy I felt it needed more substance.

    It was ok as a 'me too musical' but it sort of lacked the X factor. So felt rather flat.

    I also felt the cast were somewhat wrong. I can't put my finger in why... but they just came acriss as two dimensional

    There are some reasonable musical numbers. But even they felt repetitive

    This movie could have worked with a better script. More catchy numbers and a different cast

    On the other hand it may be ok as as an afternoon movie for young kids.

    If that doesn't match your needs I would suggest trying something than appeals to be the contemporary as well as reptilian mindset.

    Amazing Movie, Nice Music 💚
    Singing Crocodile, a little sad. Cute & funny. Great Acting. Family friendly good for son & mom.

    Characters in film are very good. Entertaining & sweet. Good holiday film. Great for movie night.

    We missed this in the theater and happy to see it on demand. Amazing Movie, Nice Music 💚 We liked it so much we are writing a review. As always Javier Bardem is great, Lyle the Crocodile is a great, realistic and a touching character. We give the movie a WOW because it's so good. We like everything about it. The soundtrack and singing is good. We like the setting in New York. The underling story is important for everyone and relatable.
