Thisisthelast Movie Review…”Eagle vs Shark”
July 10th, 2007 . by Jilly
I saw Eagle vs Shark Sunday night. This quirky New Zealand comedy stars Jemaine Clement of Flight of the Conchords. It follows the romance of two oddball misfits. Lily is shy and works at a fast food restaurant. She has a crush on Jarrod who works at the video game store in the mall. On the day that Lily gets fired from Meaty Boy, she crashes Jarrod’s “come as your favorite animal” party. Which sparks a romance between these two quirky people. They end up going back to Jarrod’s hometown. Where Jarrod plans to exact revenge on his highschool nemesis. Lily ends up getting stranded with his eccentric family.
This movie reminded me of Science of Sleep and Me and You and Everyone We Know. If you liked either of those movies you would probably like this one. My friend Liz said that its New Zealand’s answer to Napoleon Dynamite. I think its like Napoleon Dynamite for adults.
