Eagle vs Shark is the tale of two socially awkward misfits and the strange ways they try to find love; through revenge on high-school bullies, burgers, and video games.

A sweet, touching and very funny film. Jemaine Clement plays the nerd with issues really well but Loren Horsley really steals the show as Lily. Highly recommended.
I suppose love is blind. I don't see what Lily sees in Jarrod - to me, he is crazy whereas Lily is just awkward. But the movie is engaging. I find I was hoping they could make a go of it by the end.
Reminiscent of Napoleon Dynamite though not quite as funny. The dorky, geeky characters are just quirky enough and yet remain likable enough to reach your soft spot. The families are just as quirky as Eagle and Shark which makes the film a fun watch. If you enjoy your comedies...( read more)
Eagle vs Shark is the story of Lilly and Jarrod, two misfits both awkward in their own ways. They meet at a burger joint and fall in love over a video game. It focuses on life's relationships - family, past ghosts, and perplexing love.

There's a lot i can relate to in this film, and for me it makes it
very personal. which is great as it's almost like a reflection of my life;
the banality, the struggle to find hapiness, the guache interactio...( read more)
As much as I disliked Jarrod, that's a really cute movie. It has quite funny moments. Very sweet and touching. And completely filled with insecurity issues, among others.
New Zealand seems to have some raving pride in being completely fucking mad, and nowhere is that better evident than here in the peculiar story of Lily and Jarrod, two awkward misfits who find each other and embark upon one hell of a random adventure in each other's company. Laug...( read more)
Ok, it's a contradiction, but "Eagle vs Shark" is not like "Napoleon Dynamite" but it looks like "Napoleon Dynamite". Reasons? 1- This isn't a high school tale folks, but try to imagine how would be Napoleon 15 years after it. Imagined? Ok, that's how "Eagle..." sounds. 2- Napole...( read more)
