Movie Reviews of Eagle vs. Shark
Movie Review: Dismal and grim
Summary: 1 Stars
This film is a major disappointment. Major. I am a huge fan of Flight of the Conchords, which is witty, clever, beautifully photographed, well acted, and wildly funny. This is none of those things. The main characters are not very interesting at best, or, in the case of Jarrod, massively irritating. A selfish jerk, a self-absorbed fool, an inarticulate bore, an utterly un-self aware misogynist, and a lying, grubby phony, he offers not one reason to care about him. Tossing aside everyone and everything, he is a one-man wrecking crew, destroying and punishing all around him. For a man so desperate for his father's approval, you would think he would offer some fathering to his daughter, but no, he never cares about her in any way. Jarrod is a miserable jerk, the kind of person you'd run from in a heartbeat. I was repelled by every aspect of him.
No need to go on at length. I cannot imagine how this got the accolades it did. If you enjoy laughing at the downtrodden and lonely, if you think the incompetent and confused are worthy subjects of your supercilious derision, if sad people make you chuckle, then this film may be for you. If you feel any empathy for the lost and lonely Lily, you will sit open mouthed as she is subject to endless humiliation, only to find herself while wildly drunk. Wow...one sad, disheartening film.
Movie Review: DOESN'T WORK
Summary: 1 Stars
I was really disappointed because I was not informed that the CDs cannot be viewed outside Canada and USA,. The complete series one, the second CD from Series Two and Eagle vs Shark don't work in Australia. HAd the same problem with The Office Series One and Two
