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 neighbor 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.

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

This desperately wants to have the charm, the wit, the zing, the joie de vivre of Paddington, and it doesn't.

David Stratton

The Australian

Bardem’s totally unexpected performance as a song and dance man is the main reason to see the film.

Rated: 3/5

Jake Wilson

The Age (Australia)

[Left an] uncanny aftertaste, common to much current Hollywood family entertainment: a sense that wit, personality and emotional insight have been more or less skilfully simulated.

Rated: 2/5

The plot itself is amazingly clichéd.

Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile is the perfect film to snuggle together on the sofa with. A disarming easy watch that isn’t too taxing on the adults in the audience, Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile will keep the kids transfixed time and time again.

Rated: 3/5
