No, let's have a silly film about a singing reptile, Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile lands on the BBC Iplayer, an improbable outing for jolly song-and-dance man Mr Javier Bardem. 3/5 film-authority.com/2025/08/06/l...

Cue to me being at the theater, halfway through the movie as said friend walked in with a green suit and tie, smiling ear to ear, as I stared at him like this.

Top of the World by Shawn Mendes from that movie is a lovely song. #ShawnMendes #TopoftheWorld #LyleLyleCrocodile #Karaoke #歌ってみた
neutral · AI labelView post →The Lyle Lyle Crocodile movie FASCINATES me, in that it's such a bizarre pitch from top to bottom, and that there's clear effort/budget behind it (though clearly not enough), but the whole thing is so BAD and ill conceived. It apes whimsy and sentimentality in such a bizarre way. It's utter madness.

We were the only ones in the room and were riding an edible high from a couple hours before. Loved the trip and love that movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Sony currently had an ongoing relationship with both, though. There aleays seems to be at least one Sony movie on HBO Max. Currently I know HBO has Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile. They definitely had Morbius for a little bit. Those streaming deals are all over the place recently.

neutral · AI labelView post →Repost with a movie you love that you didn't expect to love at all I thought Lyle Lyle Crocodile would be bad given Shawn Mendes is the crocodile. I somewhat love it surprisingly with the heartwarming screenplay and Lyle not being that annoying…
positive · AI labelView post →We watched Becky last night so, as an antidote to all that blood and gore, tonight we watched Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile. Some weekend film nights are better than others.

positive · AI labelView post →Heard Luck didn't even do well on AppleTV+... A lot of my theaters got it in October, two months after it streamed. Betting they were really needing a kids movie with the large gap between Lyle Lyle Crocodile and Strange World.

neutral · AI labelView post →I watched last year's LYLE LYLE CROCODILE (2022) and it's exactly the movie it looks like. Heart-warming family movie about a singing/dancing crocodile. Basically Mary Poppins. The problem is that every song sounds like the radio crap when Fun had their hit song Some Nights. Also an America's Got Talent type show is also part of the plot. If you've ever seen a movie before, nothing that happens will surprise you, but I had a good time. #lylelylecrocodile #newmovies #2022movies #familymovies

First, #3000yearsoflonging with #TildaSwinton and #IdrisAlba — perfect casting and amazing production design. If you are interested in acting and production, well worth it. Then there was #lylelylecrocodile — about a #CGI singing crocodile in NYC. What drove me to distraction was grammar. One of the two top songs contained “you and I” as in “a place for you and I” instead of “you and me” — (always an editor, I guess).
neutral · AI labelView post →Javier Bardem steals the show here - he is clearly having some fun in this otherwise rather derivative adventure caper. He is "Hector", a failing magician who can no longer get any work. On a visit to a pet shop one day, he encounters the eponymous character whom he discovers can hold a tune. Ah, thinks he - a fortune to be made. He puts just about everything he has on the line but poor old "Lyle" has stage fright... won't sing! Ruin befalls our entertainer so he leaves his home in the hands of…
