    A blistering attack on the patricarchy? A damning indictment of inquality in society? 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...

    Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile. One of my friends told me this film was a "Spy thriller" and I did no research prior, taking him at face value. 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.

    Two years late, but I finally watched the “Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile” movie. Perhaps I am a sucker for singing/dancing animals, but I was thoroughly charmed and I LOVED it. Immediate soundtrack purchase.

EGOT winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul will provide original music and produce via their Ampersand production banner.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Capsule movie #reviews I spent money on Amazon Prime on a couple of films. 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).

    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…
