Lily (Loren Horsely) is an awkward fast food waitress, excluded becuase she simply doesn't fit. Wrong dress, wrong walk, wrong talk, wrong everything. Yet beneath all the wrong is a little bit of wonderful. The object of Lily's affections, Jarrod (Jermaine Clement, Flights Of The Conchords), is more interested in er pretty workmate. Jarrod is a video game champion, determined to win respect but pushing all the wrong buttons. His social switch is permanently off. But when Jarrod returns to his home town on a mission of revenge, lovestruck Lily follows him.
Set on location in and around Wellington, New Zeland, and directed by Academy Award nominated Taika Waititi, Eagle Vs Shark is a painfully funny, off-centre comedy featuring brilliant performances from its two leads as the flawed yet loveable Jarrod and Lily. |
