Adam Sandler's "Leo" was just plain NICE.

It takes a simple, downright silly idea about a talking pet lizard helping the kids of a 5th grade class, and even the long-term substitute teacher herself, with their problems to help bring out the best in them - and ties it into stuff like finding new purpose during a mid-life crisis; all the while constantly sprinkling in so much wholesomeness that with each new kid he visits, you instantly feel the bond being formed. It can feel a bit segmented, but it allows for multiple situations to be covered while giving the audience something new to look at.

Gotta compliment Adam Sandler's performance as Leo himself here; it's such a cartoony voice, but he delivers with such a commitment that I am never hearing an actor. He gives Leo the sweet balance between his old, tired side and his wise, experienced side that is needed for this story to work. It shines best whenever he has to belt a quick number, though granted that's unsurprising for Sandler. Everyone else, including his own family, seamlessly slip into their roles too.

The humor quite caught me by surprise too, considering Happy Madison. While the slapstick can get a bit much, and there are one or two truly gross gags, most of their infamous hallmarks are surprisingly subdued. Much of what we get is more observational, or is otherwise done in credit to the characters, such as how Leo name-dropping old movies (which sounds lame on paper) doubles to show how old and behind-the-times he is. It's not like there's some big comedy gold, but there's a lot of little moments that left me smiling and charmed. In general, this film really knows how to establish character with dialogue alone; the snarky, tired comments from Leo and Squirtle at the beginning being a highlight.

There are some turns near the end that can feel a little forced or half-baked (especially with Ms. Mirkin), but the heart remains to the end and it still manages to finish on the simple note it should. Animation is also pretty standard, but that too is elevated by some smart staging choices and a few scenes that mix up the style.

Overall, while it's by no means a film that *excels*, it sure hit a lot harder than it had any right to, especially from a company like Happy Madison, and they deserve big props for that. Like Leo himself, some much-needed comfort can come from the most unexpected of places.

I watched the outlaws last night on Netflix

I had to stop the movie multiple times because of having to catch my breathe, having to pee because I'm laughing so hard, having to go to the bathroom bc I broke and I pissed myself several times and had to stop to clean up at least a little bit, honestly thought I was going to have a heart attack and I'm 100% sure I busted a vein or something behind my right eye that I can still feel right now

Has to be the funniest movie I've ever seen in my whole entire life

And I remember thinking, I don't want to consume anymore "new" media. I'm good with this being the last man man movie I've ever seen produced. Just a start to an end. A "we came we saw and a we conquered" type of thing.

Madison's Bestie 🤝

I'm surprised no one has made this meme w them yet lol

A Ham's pov be like: When your supposed "bestie" decides to side with your sworn enemy instead of you & your cool plans so you both became enemies...

Bonus stuff under the cut

For context: *(it's just a meme guys it's not this serious..) Historically (musically too) Madison & Hamilton used to be good friends (they worked on the US Constitution together) but then they had a LOT of disagreements (most notably objecting Ham's financial plans) which made them enemies. Whereas Madison & Jefferson were BFFs since a v long time (they were mentor and mentee then became lifelong besties), and both HATED Hamilton, SO much they created an opposing party to go against Ham's party. So TLDR, the meme is basically Mads siding with Jeff instead of Ham & his plans :P

(YES!! I ACTUALLY DID RESEARCH FOR THIS SILLY MEME LMAO HELP HHHHH 😭)
