Leo proved to be a perfect, lighthearted watch on a rainy evening that left us with a feeling of bonhomie before switching off the lights for the night.
However immature Sandler’s sense of humor may have been in the past, he seems to have a pretty good handle on what makes kids tick. The movie can be making potty jokes one minute and delivering practical advice the next, wrapping with the sensible suggestion to “find your Leo.”

What makes Leo special are the kinds of lessons on offer. Its message is well-timed for a generation who find themselves held hostage by their parents’ anxieties and stand to inherit a world of problems. Leo encourages adults to let go and reminds kids that growing up doesn’t have to be so scary.
Though Leo is perhaps not the most groundbreaking animated film of the year, its gentle tone and emotion mixed with some standard anarchic gags from the Happy Madison school of comedy work in its favor.
Leo sometimes has trouble identifying its audience.
A somewhat funny, perversely family-friendly musical-comedy about all of the ways that modern parents are making their children insane with anxiety.
Leo can sometimes have a jolt of energy from its slapstick sequences or its bright color palette, in which Leo the lizard flies through the air, floats on a bubble, or meets other talking animals. But it's all defined by its assembly line animation, in which the spell of watching life-like characters and settings can be easily broken by looking at the backgrounds of shots for just a few seconds.
It was a good movie
But it is good for children
It is not suitable for adults because it is boring
My rating for this movie is 6

Adam Sandler consegue impor uma entonação interessante ao seu lagarto de 74 anos, bichinho de estimação de uma turma de 5º série junto com uma tartaruga (ou jabuti?), e com isso criar um roteiro que põe em evidência um falido modelo escolar do século XXI, que está longe de conectar os alunos de forma mais integral.
Claro que o roteiro, para tratar daqueles jovens, o faz de uma maneira rápida e pouco profunda, mas o suficiente para gerar empatia. No entanto, é quando lança luz sobre a professora é que o filme cresce.
A arte de educar exige uma série de habilidades e competências para além do conteúdo de cada disciplina, e talvez aqui os educadores irão se simpatizar com o rumo da história, que mostra a visão de uma pedagogia tradicional sendo confrontada com os problemas humanos da escola, inerentes a qualquer grupo social, em especial os grupos onde há crianças.
Parece-me que o roteiro optou por uma correria e uma ação que soa um tanto quanto problemático à medida que deixa o ápice da história nas cenas de ação, mas não só isso, na resolução para o reencontro entre o lagarto e o grupo, muito mais do que para voltar aos problemas individuais de cada um. Ou seja, ao final, as particularidades de cada um se dissolvem num todo, e o filme se entrega a um escapismo genérico.
Ainda assim, os personagens são carismáticos o bastante, por mais que eu preferisse a pegada mais reflexiva do primeiro ato, vejo que pode agradar ao público a movimentação para as cenas de ação, que ficaram bem dentro do esperado. Um bom filme para assistir com as crianças, e vejo que atores como Adam Sandler vão procurando moldar seu tom em algo com mais camadas, não apenas a comédia escrachada, fruto da experiência com histórias.

The film kinda confuses in itself of which direction it need to go. However, it's heartwarmingly fun and good coming-of-age animated film for all **** might be odd to see Adam Sandler gives life's advices to kids, but he has gone through a tough life in "Uncut Gem" before..., so I guess it's worth for listening.

Leo es horrible. No comprendo como nadie ve lo mala que es esta pelicula. Bueno, mala, asquerosa. Me justifico:
Historia:
Pesada. Muy pesada, abusa del cariño y del animalismo para hacer una historia menos interesante que la historia de como mi amigo se comió un hilo de lana. ¿Metáfora sin sentido? A juego con la película.
Personajes:
Estereotipados, odiosos, sin carisma y todo el tiempo parecen idiotas. Ni uno solo me ha gustado.
Humor:
Estereotipado. Pesado. Sin gracia y repetitivo. Muy genérico por otra parte.
Animación:
Fotorealista y genérica. Además, las caras dan mucha rabia.
Mensaje:
Bueno, dentro de lo que cabe, pero el del animalismo es una mi*rda. O sea, ¿arruinan una casa y un sistema eléctrico para salvar animales y después dejan moribundo a un cocodrilo con un dron mas pequeño que un mando de PS4? Que desastre.
En resumen, es la peor película que he visto y espero no volver a verla jamás. -5/10 y pongo 0 porque no puedo poner menos.
