Eagle vs. Shark ★½ 2007 (R)

Lily (Horseley) and Jarrod (Clement) are small-town mall employees united by a decided lack of social skills who meet at a costume party dedicated to dressing as their favorite animals. Lily's sweet, Jarrod's completely unlikable, and something resembling clingy love ensues as the two bounce from awkward situation to awkward situation. Tries to be simultaneously edgy and charming but ultimately just makes jokes at the expense of its protagonists. 94m/C DVD . NZ Brian Sergent, Craig Hall, Joel Tobeck, Jemaine Clement, Loren Horsley, Rachel House; D: Taika Waititi; W: Taika Waititi; C: Adam Clark; M: Phoenix Foundation.
