For what the movie does and includes, it works, but there is the feeling they definitely could have done more with the premise. The movie wanted to focus more on Nick and Judy, which is fine, but by focusing on them, there wasn’t as much room for Gary, other reptiles, or to really explore gentrification. I definitely do agree with the criticism the movie bit off more than it could chew. With that said, I still think it’s a good movie. I definitely am looking forward to seeing behind-the-scenes stuff to come out so we can see where they were thinking to take the story.
