"What is so special about this reptile?"
"Actor and comedian Adam Sandler (Hotel Transylvania, The Wedding Singer) delivers signature laughs in this coming-of-age animated musical comedy about the last year of elementary school – as seen through the eyes of a class pet. Jaded 74-year-old lizard Leo (Sandler) has been stuck in the same Florida classroom for decades with his terrarium-mate turtle (Bill Burr).

Our house has currently been invaded by "Bonus" Daughter #1, her two kids and the Baby Daddy and they had this on. I wasn't really paying much attention, but the songs were awful and it seemed very preachy, with each kid learning a Valuable Life Lesson. A lot of the bits I saw seemed way over the heads of the target audience, but the Hellspawn seemed to enjoy it.
