Eagle vs Shark

Starring from Jemaine Clement from Flight of the Conchords, this is a 2007, Kiwi comedy that revels in the geeky and the ridiculous.

Plot: A geeky girl-Lily with a huge heart, falls for a geeky guy-Jarrod, but he thinks he's well cool and stuff and thinks he's better than her. So they go to a party, have sex and then she travels back home with him to face the bully that tortured him as a child.

There's a lot to be said for this film, it feels and looks like Napoleon Dynamite, but in New Zealand. Funny and endearing throughout.

Gross: $1,298,037

Not so Fun Fact: The Village Voice had very few complementary things to say about this film, I can only imagine they have little to no sense of world humour.
