Well Sundance almost came and went without me being a part of it, but Friday night I came in the possession of some free tickets so I went and I really quite enjoyed the film Eagle Vs Shark. I fell in love Lily the main character during the opening scene and was routing for her throughout the entire film. The film seems to come as a Kiwi answer to MTV’s hit Napoleon Dynamite and shows a love story on the edges of popular culture. The dialog is quite interesting and has some real likable characters. though the stop motion apple story felt a bit contrived and lacked refinement making Eagles Vs. Shark an independent film for a reason.
I recommend this film if you are or have been considered a geek, worked at a fast-food establishment, are an orphan, like sharks, mortal combat, human hamster wheels, num-chucks, horses.
I don’t recommend this film if you where ever cool, liked incubus, know any football trivia, or think all you can eat brazilian food is a good idea.
