I saw Eagle Vs Shark the other day, mainly because the main character (Jermaine Clement) is also in Flight of the Conchords. Yay.
Basically his character, Jarrod is an older, New Zealand, less likable version of Napoleon Dynamite. Eagle Vs Shark tells the story of two social outsiders, getting together and drawing a line under school bullies.
I loved their fancy dress! I think even though it is a tale that we have heard a million times before, there are numerous individualistic details that save the film from just being an 'indie-off-beat-romance' homage: Bowie songs, little animated apple cores, side-burns, shell suits and shark costumes. I thought the film was pretty good, even if you want to kick the characters occasionally.
