Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile makes you smile—for a while

Bolstered by a supporting cast featuring Javier Bardem and Constance Wu, Shawn Mendes sings his heart out as the adorable CG carnivore of the title

Feature film based on the children's book about a crocodile that lives in New York City.Time passes, and the Primm family move in, adapting to the big city on what must be a pretty large budget given the size of the house. Constance Wu’s Katie was a celebrity chef, but gave it up to become a stepmom, deciding young Josh needed to be raised on a diet of healthy food uber alles.

It’s not long before the Primms discover Lyle because, well, he’s human-sized and sings, loudly and with the voice of Shawn Mendes. Remarkably, his mere presence is enough to help the family get over their biggest inhibitions. Josh, who feels sensory overload every time he steps outside, is soon walking on rooftop ledges. Katie rediscovers the pleasures of pizza and cake. And dad Joseph revives his inner athlete, becoming a more assertive math teacher.

But Grumpy Cat doesn’t make a lot of sense either, and the principle is basically the same—a cute, potentially threatening critter whose adventures, and personality, can easily be broken into meme-sized bites. Under the direction of Will Speck and Josh Gordon , the action moves from one funny-cute moment to the next, with overarching plot strokes every adult in the room will see coming.
