Oh man, it was a very weird movie! And can't say in a good way...
The CGI animal walking among people can be weird by itself, but somehow creators of Paddington could make it sweet. Here it's just plain weird.
Kids enjoyed the movie, but even for them it was funny weird in a ridiculous way.
The crocodile can't speak at all, zero, but at the same time can sing perfectly. No logical explanation behind this. They could at least come up with some story behind it, but no.
The crocodile becomes friends with the kid and the first thing he teaches the kid is how to eat food from trash and dumpsters in NY, literally. And kid is happy to do it.
The mother of the kid gets scared to death seeing a croco, but a minute later she's dancing with him, making food while singing and eating food from dumpster together with her son and croco. And she seems much happier than ever before.
And overall, only the family gets scared of the crocodile the first they see him, but the rest of NY is just fine. A crocodile is riding a motorcycle in Manhattan and people are like eh, it's New York, who cares.
They tried to make a sweet movie, but it came out just ridiculously weird. Fun for kids though.
