Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile

"The scenes of the Primms getting to know Lyle and Valenti are the movie’s highlight."

"Lyle has a brisk, whimsical momentum that is utterly infectious in the early going. Then it stops dead..."

"Every minute of the overlong Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile that does not feature (Bardem) is worse off for it..."

"Bardem brings a delicious, deranged edge to the film whenever he’s around, which unfortunately is not enough."

"On paper, it should all work. But, like Hector’s act, it’s just missing that magic factor."

"Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile is as good as any movie about a cute singing crocodile has any right to be."

"The only actors who truly shone with their madcap takes were Bardem and Gelman, both diving into the characters’ idiosyncrasies."

"It’s a trial."

"It's nice that one CGI critter isn't a chatterbox, but the spirit of the tale isn't matched by the telling."

"It’s all harmless fun, containing enough mild laughs and genuinely sweet moments... to keep its target audiences entertained."
