(Average+) Leo

Movie in one sentence:
Dr. Phil if he were a reptile. So Dr. Phil.

Movie in more sentences:
An old classroom reptile thinks his life is coming to an end and regrets not having done anything of note during it. He hopes to use one of the students to escape and enjoy the rest of his time out in the wild, but learns she's struggling under her insecurities and settles on helping her instead.

No student is without grief, distracting Leo from his initial plans and ending up becoming their therapist, but when the disliked substitute teacher learns he's the sole reason she's getting credit for the children improving, she figures she has to get rid of him and dumps him in the wild he always craved for.

Regretting the decision and the children missing their friend, the class goes out to find him before it's too late.

A praised movie, but really, only because it came out together with the failed 100 year celebration project from Disney, called Wish, because Leo really isn't that great.
Animals in it talk, no explanation given, some jokes are good, but none made me snicker, scenes and interactions are rushed, and the overall plot not one you'd deem entertaining. Or at the very least, not one I'd give to a cartoon animal. Even though it wasn't done badly.

Not until Leo leaves the classroom do things get a bit interesting, but when you think you're going to get some good life advice from this lizard, the movie cuts these home meetings short and just claims Leo has been helping the entire classroom for who knows many weeks. Alright, but how about showing us that? His scenes with the children aren't even that long, you could've done that, easily.
But then again, would that make for an interesting movie plot. Maybe for an educational TV-series for kids, but we already have Sesame Street, so.

More distractingly, Leo is a musical and the songs are horrible. The singers tried their best, but many of the tracks sound like multiple melodies smushed together and the lyrics are average dribble. Did not like it.
Adam Sandler also made the strange decision of giving the main character, Leo himself, this stupid parody of an old person's voice. It's remarkably weird, because he's supposed to be a genuine character with genuine intentions. Why make fun of him? The voice became tolerable later on, though it certainly did not change my opinion on it.

To say I regret watching it would be going too far, but it also didn't enrich me. Leo has no rewatch value.
