Adam Sandler is a 74 year old lizard living in a school terrarium with a turtle. He has been watching the kids come and go for decades. One day he lets slip that he can talk and as a result he and the kids are made better for it.
One of the great finds of 2023 is one of Adam Sandler's best films. A warmhearted film that works for kids and adults. It's a joyous celebration of life that is going to put a smile on your face.
That the film works as well as it does is due in large part to Sandler selling the role of Leo. Unable to mug for the camera he has to play it straight from start to finish and as a result we get one of his most modulated performances. It's an absolute joy.
I loved this film a great deal.
Highly recommended.
