Movie Reviews of Eagle vs. Shark
Movie Review: A SAD AND FUNNY QUIRKY FILM!
Summary: 4 Stars
Just one look at the cover art of the DVD case is enough to let you know this isn't just another movie! The likable cast keeps this sweet little romantic comedy fresh. It's got a Napoleon Dynamite vibe with it's cast of off the wall characters. The main character of Lily is played with honesty and you can't help but feel sorry for her all the while laughing through this quirky little film. It's nice to see a romantic comedy that I didn't know the ending to ten minutes after it started.Movie Review: Awesome, Awesome Film...
Summary: 4 Stars
Eagle vs. Shark is hilarious and moving at the same time. It's far from your classic romcom though. Jemaine clement is absolutely brilliant and so is Loren Horsley who is not so well known. The perpheral characters are also something special and add to the film largely. If you love Flight of the Conchords then you'll definately love Eagle vs. Shark.Movie Review: Not what I expected but wonderful all the same!
Summary: 4 Stars
When buying this movie I expected the full on humor of FotC, or maybe something along the lines of Napoleon Dynamite, instead it was a little less funny, but wonderfully unexpected and thoughtful. I love the movie and hope more out there will as well.Movie Review: Lovely Kiwi Film
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great (and typical) Kiwi comedy. The scene with the 'hacker' is priceless! One of the best comedy's to come out of New Zealand in a while.Movie Review: A romantic comedy? Not romantic (or funny, either ...)
Summary: 3 Stars
Maybe it's a Kiwi thing.
The story of gawky Lilly and misfit Jarrod is not enough to pull along this thin tale. If you find "Flight of the Conchords" funny, you may enjoy this movie. If you don't get it, the film may not appear to you. The dude from Conchords is just flat-out . . . not funny. Delivering his lines in a flat monotone, he conveys the emotional range of an Intel microprocessor.
The New Zealand accents are so thick that, at time, American viewers would appreciate English subtitles (which I later learned are actually available with the DVD - consider activating). I don't think I laughed (or even chuckled) once the whole 90 minutes. The scenes of Jarrod training for his upcoming confrontation are pathetic - more like a gay Rocky... The notion that this guy would fight his way out of a paper bag is ludicrous. He is as intimidating as a poodle with a spiked collar, or Barry Manilow brandishing a man-purse. I could have done without the scene where the hapless Jarrod beats a wheelchair-bound rival - a fat Samoan -- with nunchuk sticks.
Funny? Not ...
I've seen worse but I have definitely seen better, and YOU deserve better!
Eagle vs. Shark?
It's more like the old quip, "What's the difference between ignorance and apathy?"
Answer: "I don't know and I don't care."
Which pretty much sums up my feeling toward "Eagle Versus Shark."
