Premise

Leo (Adam Sandler) is a jaded and desperate lizard who is looking for something different after a visitor to their class suggests he is old. So when the opportunity to explore the world presents itself as a take-home assignment for students, Leo jumps at it. But his plan to go home with a student is disrupted when the student discovers Leo can actually talk. Pretty soon, Leo learns that while the world has something to offer him, he has things to offer his elementary class, as each student who takes him home, he finds a new way to help them cope with the pains of growing up.^[2]
