Honestly I laughed so much at Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile. I laughed so much I was basically bullying this film. It starts off sort of charming, I guess, but it moves into hilariously absurd territory. It's so stupid it starts to be sort of marvelous, actually. Constance Wu's plays a basically unhinged sort of character who never strikes a single believable note. Javier Bardem does much much better, but he's not asked to be earnest in the same way that Wu is. The whole thing is insane. I watched it because I imagine that one of the Pasek & Paul songs in this (sorta) musical would be nominated for an Oscar. But after having seen it, I'm honestly sort of skeptical. Maybe the song that played over the credits...
