Featured reviews
This movie was a fun watch: great animation quality, good writing, funny, sweet. I had no idea Adam Sandler's company can do animations, so this was a nice surprise. Great job.
Adam's voice is a great fit for the wise advice-giving lizard. Generally the voice acting is great.
The plot is great and full of funny moments and twists. I never felt bored, so I think that's a testament to great writing. The movie doesn't take itself too seriously but still manages to deliver a heartwarming fun experience.
It's definitely worth a watch and I hope Happy Madison do more titles like this one, great start.

This movie is great for the whole family. It is relatable to kids and adults. The music may not be like some Disney movies, but each song is original, entertaining, and not overly drawn out or overdone. The movie tries to incorporate current topics, trends and technology. It incorporates multicultural, ethnic and generational aspects. It also brings to light many issues that may be sensitive to kids of all ages. This includes issues like bullying, class clowns, popularity, ADHD, where do babies come from, etc. The kid actors do a nice job, including the singing. The movie is a little long compared to many animated movies, but it's okay since the movie keeps you engaged from start to finish.
Due to life lessons, this film was made for kids and adults! This is a beautiful, heartening, and emotional (shed a few tears) animated film. This was a surprise. I did not know what to expect, but it was a gem! It kept me smiling throughout the whole film!! The kids in the movie and those watching at home learn important lessons about empathy and self-forgiveness from wise lizard Leo (Sandler) and his ability to lend a supportive ear. It was one of the best family films I've seen in a long time! The film can be summed up in one of its final lines: "Find your Leo (a representation of meaningful listening, mixed with prudent advice) to listen to you." The "Leos" we should look for can connect and offer sound advice precisely because they are lovingly listening rather than dictating. I love a film with a positive message, which is why I resonated with the story! Bravo to Adam Sandler, who is a fantastic voice actor! The humor and songs were catchy and funny! The last movie I loved from Sandler was 50 First Dates, and afterward, I couldn't connect with his films until Leo! It's been a while since I praised Sandler, but this movie deserves that adoration!
Giving this an 8/10 rating
Saw preview in the cinema for this absurd and wonderful animation. It really must get a proper cinema release.
Adam Sandler is Leo, an aged reptile stuck in rut with his turtle friend - Squirtle, voiced by a very laid back Bill Burr. Both are stuck in glass tank at the school watching life go by in the classroom, when a big change happens that leads the both of them, on a complete turn events.
Each human kid and adult are profiled and transformed in quite hilarious ways, and the songs are not to be taken seriously as you will be laughing along with the visual gags that go with the flow.
It looks all brilliant and the character designs work and not look dopey, which seems to be a trend these days, bad character design. Great musical numbers that are well staged are used just right. Adam Sandler is noted down as writer and producer, it's his company, after all. More like this please, Adam.

Anytime you have Adam Sandler involved in a movie...It's "Worth The Watch". This is a movie I imagine, I would've loved as a kid. It's a very simplistic story line with simple, dry-humor that'll make almost any kid laugh. This is film you'll be wanting to get the family together for on movie night. As usual, Sandler came with many friends and family members from last movies such as ( Bill Burr, Sadie Sandler(Daughter), Sunny Sandler(Daughter), Jackie Sandler(Wife), Jo Koy and Jason Alexander ). All in all, the animations were clean, the script was simple but well out together. This is a movie I will definitely re watch with a niece or nephew over time. Thank you for another classic Adam Sandler!
