Movie Reviews of Eagle vs. Shark
Movie Review: For Some, Maybe
Summary: 3 Stars
I enjoyed this movie, and if I could, I would given it a 3.5 star review.
However, many people dislike this movie, and this may be why.
This movie is less a comedy, as it is sometimes marketed, and more of a character driven 'dromedy.' People need to be able to relate to the characters in the movie if a character driven plot is going to work. The problem is that these characters, for the most part, are not very identifiable.
Also, people like to see growth in the main characters. They like to see a flaw, a realization, growth, and flaw overcome. After watching the movie, I question what, if anthing, did these characters learn and grow from.
That being said. None of that matters to me. This film stepped out of the old movie formulas, and into more of a real life feel, although it is still ultimately unrealistic. However, some people in this world are as disturbed as Clement's character, and not everyone learns the lesson that is presented to them.
I think a good test for a movie is if you feel strongly about the plight of the hero or heroine, and in this movie, I want so badly for Lily to be happy.
I enjoyed the stop-motion side story. I won't ruin the movie for you, but there is a strong, somewhat obvious metaphor presented in those very creative scenes. Also, I thought the soundtrack added depth to this movie, which cannot be said of most soundtracks.
Movie Review: Meh
Summary: 3 Stars
I do like this movie, especially with the Pheonix Foundation rocking it out on the soundtrack. Although, I won't be able to see this movie considering the Blu-ray factor. Not everyone has a Blu-ray player and for one movie, it's not worth it to go out and buy on top of this DVD another system. Sorry.Movie Review: Interesting movie

i'm not sure if i liked or disliked this movie. it had some good funny moments and then it had some moments when you were embarressed. I bought it for my husband and he didn't like it at all. I'll keep it but i'm not sure if i'd reccommend it to anyone for more than a rental.Movie Review: Quirky fun
Summary: 3 Stars
A quirky little comedy from New Zealand. Two social misfits try dating, showing that there's someone for everyone out there, I guess. Think 'Napoleon Dynamite' loser, and you have the basic idea. Funny once, but not sure it would stand up to repeated watching.Movie Review: Burned DVD
Summary: 3 Stars
I was happy to have received this movie, but when I opened it, the movie was a burned copy for a public library. It was a done fairly well, but I didn't have any indication that it was going to be a burned copy.
Oh well, it's a great movie.
