When the Primm family (Constance Wu, Scoot McNairy, Winslow Fegley) 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 (Shawn Mendes) 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 neighbour Mr. Grumps (Brett Gelman), the Primm’s must band together with Lyle’s charismatic owner, Hector P. Valenti (Javier Bardem), to show the world that family can come from the most unexpected places and there’s nothing wrong with a big singing crocodile with an even bigger personality.

Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile is far from the worst children's movie, but at the end of the day, it's empty entertainment that carries as much weight as water vapor. Nell Minow, writing for RogerEbert.com, was more positive in her review of the film, giving it a score of 3 out of 4 stars. She wrote: " Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile is a bit too long for a family movie, with some unnecessary complications toward the end, and it's not quite up to the Paddington level of movie adaptations of classic children's books. But it is a warm-hearted family film with great musical numbers that will make another generation of kids hopefully search the attic on the chance that they might find a singing crocodile."

Based on the best-selling book series by Bernard Waber, Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, starring Academy Award-winner Javier Bardem, Constance Wu and Shawn Mendes, is a live-action/CGI musical comedy that brings this beloved character to a new, global audience. One month later, a trial is held to determine whether or not Lyle may be free. The judge ultimately decides to rule over Grumps in favor of Lyle when Hector presents the deed to his house, which was written out by his grandmother, who built the house and founded the New York City Zoo where Lyle was previously kept, allowing her to keep any exotic animal as a pet. After the trial, the Primms celebrate Lyle's freedom, and Grumps' implied eviction, by taking him on vacation, while Hector becomes acquainted with a new talented animal: a beatboxing rattlesnake named Malfoy, owned by Josh's friend, Trudy.

In terms of the story, this is pretty typical as far as these sorts of movies go. You need to believe in yourself; confidence is key; you need to let yourself try new things; moving is scary, but you can make new friends, all of the usual suspects. If you're looking for a movie that's going to do something different in terms of story, Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile is not for you. The songs are also done by the same team that did The Greatest Showman, so if you are into those songs, these will be fine. If you aren't fond of that style, the songs become a chore. The songs are also the most awkward part of the entire movie. They are the only way Lyle can communicate, which is pure musical, but the rest of the film isn't a musical. It makes his songs feel very jarring and out of place throughout the entire feature, like he belongs in a Crocodile version of Les Miserables where every word is sung.

Today Sony Pictures Releasing have shared a New UK Poster for the film. Something that we never seem to shut up about here at Bleeding Cool when it comes to children's movies is that kids are not stupid; they are not small, dumb adults; they just have a different way of looking at the world. The best kid's movies are the ones that can truly channel that, and they tend to elevate themselves to family movies because they have broad appeal to everyone. There is nothing wrong with being a kid's movie; it just means that it isn't something that will leave much of an impact long term. These movies aren't usually part of core memories for kids. Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile is very much just a kid's movie. It doesn't do much more than show up and serve as entertainment for the hour and forty-six minutes that it is around. The kids will want to get up and sing along, which speaks to how catchy all the music is, but that also implies that this isn't exactly the best movie for a theatrical experience.
