Yeah, the dubbed voice overs are pretty obvious.
This movie was fantastic. Roller coaster of who dunnit.
I also pick up on that. Especially in Snatch. Its the small mannerisms and something about his mouth, I think.
My sentiments exactly!
Leo
Netflix | 21 November
Actor and comedian Adam Sandler (Hotel Transylvania, The Wedding Singer) delivers signature laughs in this coming-of-age animated musical comedy about the last year of elementary school – as seen through the eyes of a class pet.
Jaded 74-year-old lizard Leo (Sandler) has been stuck in the same Florida classroom for decades with his terrarium-mate turtle (Bill Burr). When he learns he only has one year left to live, he plans to escape to experience life on the outside but instead gets caught up in the problems of his anxious students — including an impossibly mean substitute teacher. It ends up being the strangest but most rewarding bucket list ever…
