Eagle vs. Shark
Quirky
Kiwi comedy about a pair of losers who strike up a romance together. Lily is a burger bar vendor who is
tremendously played by Loren Horsley – gauche and yet determined she does not
fit in but sets her sights on Jarrod, an unspeakably self-centred nerd ably
played by Jemaine Clement of The Conchords.
It is a gentle and small film in which Lily accompanies Jarrod back home
to meet his folks. Lots of embarrassment
and awkwardness all add up to a different and enjoyable movie without it ever
being anything transcendental. Appealing
little number.
