Before saying you would never want a 300-pound reptile living in your New York City apartment (and rent free, no less!) ask yourself this: what if he sang Stevie Wonder and wore a little wool scarf?
That’s essentially the premise of Lyle, Lyle Crocodile, a new film adaptation of the beloved children’s book by Bernard Waber. When the Primm family moves into a new home, Mrs. Primm (Constance Wu) quickly discovers—after overhearing a soulful “Sir Duke” cover coming from their shower—her brownstone comes with a special tenant. Lyle the Crocodile, a singing, talking crocodile owned by the eccentric Hector P. Valenti (Javier Bardem) calls the Primm’s new house his home.
