Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile (out Dec 26) is the tale of an anxious boy who, to his benefit, befriends a singing crocodile. I liked this. It moves at a quick pace and the real-life themes (family, insecurity) are nicely balanced against the humorous absurdity of a singing crocodile living in New York City. 13-year-old Winslow Fegley is great in the lead role. Grade: B+.
