UPDATED Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile Quotes and Review:
I was so excited to take my family to go and see the movie Lyle Lyle Crocodile.
The movie is about a family who moved to New York and their son, Josh, who struggles to make friends.
He then discovers a living talking and singing crocodile in his attic. The movie is about friendship and love. The true star of the show if you were to ask me was their neighbor Mr. Grumps.
Mr. Grumps is played by actor, Brett Gelman. You will recognize Mr. Grumps from stranger things. He was the conspiracy theorist in the show.
Lile Lile is played by Shawn Mendes. Although Lyle doesn’t talk he does sing. Lyle helps the family discover themselves and discover fun.
Our family found the movie to be funny and cute. My youngest daughter is nine and she enjoyed the movie the most out of my family.
