Leo 2023

Leo’s story takes some time to unfold and reveal its true nature. The film gradually introduces its inciting incident, which happens when Leo, the class pet lizard voiced by Adam Sandler, learns that he only has one year left to live out of his predicted 75-year lifespan. This revelation leads to an existential crisis, hinting at a fish-out-of-water narrative where Leo escapes his fifth-grade terrarium and faces the joys and challenges of the outside world. However, the story takes an unexpected turn when Leo goes home with different students from the class. Utilizing his extensive classroom observations, Leo finds himself offering life advice to the bewildered fifth-graders. While Leo’s tale delivers a surprisingly heartwarming message about finding one’s purpose, the film struggles to establish a clear and consistent identity of its own.
