Leo ; A blend of comedy and musical .

Pleasant greetings to you all. Happy new week. ******** So yesterday was the weekend and I decided to pamper myself by watching a movie in lazy style  mode. The movie was recommended as comical which drew me in as I wanted something to ease my nerves.  The movie I watched is titled **LEO** starring Adams Sandler and  It is an American musical comedy animation movie great for kids and adults as well. *Movie synopsis*  Leo was a class five  pet  lizard who wanted to see the world before he died at 75,since he was already 74 years old. His roommate Squirtle, a tortoise, told him to confine himself to his present situation as he would never leave the class. But Leo's fate changed one day when a new substitute teacher made each kid in class take home a pet and a talkative girl took Leo home.  In his bid to escape from her place, his secret of being a talking animal was exposed but he quickly lied and covered it up. Soon Leo got taken by all the kids and they grew attached to him. He was an embodiment of wisdom and his teachings on life lessons empowered the kids to be their best. But the substitute teacher wanted all the credit for herself and so she fooled the kids, lied to them and abandoned Leo in the Everglades. It took Squirtle confessing his jealousy about Leo that the truth came out and in the end, it all worked out fine. *What I liked and learnt from the movie* I liked the fact that the musical was not too much and it blended with the lines. I liked the life lessons that Leo taught the kids. He went out of his way to be selfless. He put the kids first, listened to their issues, rants and complaints and he  guided them back onto a positivity route that brought out the best in those kids.  *Everyone has got issues and everyone has got something they want to complain about but if we can just look past the issues and look on the bright side of things, then we will be on our way to overcoming those issues*.  This was a major lesson I learnt from watching Leo. I also liked the light but hearty banter shared amongst Leo, Squirtle and the kids. It made my heart flutter with delight and relaxed my nerves.  We have a choice to see good in people even when those people present a rough and rough image to us. You never know, they might just be pretending to be strong externally because they're hurting inside. This was another thing I learnt from this movie.  *What I didn't like about the movie* First was the sarcasm. It felt a little off for me but it wasn't much so I let it slide. Secondly, was the slow-mo  vibe that it had at the beginning. Leo is not your regular action packed, fast paced  movies rather it has a slow vibe to it and if you are not the  patient type,you might find this movie boring but I promise that it gets better towards the end and watching it from start to finish will be worth your while.  I rate this movie a 6.5/10. It was funny and Adams Sandler did a great job with his voice and performance. ******** Thanks for reading. Images are screenshots. ********
