Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile Movie Review | Common Sense Media Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile Movie Review | Common Sense Media

My first time reading this classic picture book about a family who is rich af and a crocodile lives in their bathtub and it's all an amazing fantasy.God’s Eye is an easy read, rhyming story explaining how to see life’s difficult circumstances through God’s perspective instead of our own. Cath Clarke of The Guardian gave the film a mixed review giving it 3 out of 5 stars and wrote: "Javier Bardem marches away with the film as flamboyant failed showman Hector P Valenti. Lyle is so sweet-natured and likable, he'll quickly work his way into your heart and home, just like he did to the Primm Family, that fateful day when they moved into the house on East 88th Street. And no matter how different one is, even if they're a Crocodile, they can mean something to someone. He’s the happiest crocodile any home ever had…until one neighbor insists that Lyle belongs in a zoo!
