Streaming Eagle vs. Shark Online.
Movie Title: Eagle vs. Shark Eagle vs. Shark is available for streaming or downloading. |
This is a sweet cramped movie starring JEMAINE CLEMENT (of Flight of the Conchords fame) and LOREN HORSLEY (of…being Taika Waititi’s girlfriend fame? ) . Not positive why Amazon doesn’t have them listed anywhere as the stars…

The film follows Jarrod (Clement) and Lily’s (Horsley) budding romance, from her crush on him as she works at a snappily food restaurant he frequents, to their hook-up at a dress-as-your-favorite animal party, to visiting his hometown as he takes revenge on someone who bullied him in school. They are unlikely soul mates, bonded by similar facial moles.
The film includes graceful shots of the Unique Zealand sail, a minute stop-action animation, and Clement sporting a really choice mullet! Like a lot of stuff that has been coming out of Unusual Zealand lately, it is heavy on the quirk but also has some silly and heartfelt moments. And fans of Clement will indulge in a scene in which he is wearing a Speedo.

You WILL call all of your enemies “foolish, foolish sucka” after seeing this movie!
Lilly (Loren Horsley) works in a snappily food restaurant and garners the respect of no one. But she takes it on the chin and remains curiously sweet. She’s got a crush on Jarrod, a narcissist geek with a disagreeable mullet played by Jemaine Clement of Flight of the Conchords fame. Jarrod and Lilly hook up at a party one night. (Do you want to have sex? OK.) Jarrod has a mission-to crush a samoan lad who tortured him in school. He returns home to fight his nemesis. I won’t give it away, but the ending to this movie had me laughing hysterically. This is a completely novel script absent banal comedy and stout of emotional depth. You won’t sight films like this coming out of Hollywood these days. Thank you Taika and the NZ Film Commission.
Many people have compared Eagle to Napoleon Dynamite, but I come by the comparison lacking. Yes, Lily and Jarrod are geeks, but the similarities with Napoleon slay there. This isn’t a geek revenge movie though the situation may seem like that on the face of it. The movie is titled Eagle vs. Shark but it could be titled man vs. woman. Neither Lily or Jarrod accelerate to each other as solace from the outside world. Lily has a warm home life with her brother and Jarrod is resplendent solidly convinced of his stature and his ability with women until the kill of the movie. It’s appealing to glimpse how Lily turns Jarod around. This film is about the balance of power between Lily and Jarod, not geeks vs the world.
There are a lot of worthy minor characters in this film including Jarrod’s sister and her husband and Lily’s brother. Jarrod’s daughter is played brilliantly by an eccentric exiguous girl whose name I can’t win on the DVD. She’s cute to search for. I liked Lorena’s performance. She brings strength to her role as Lily but doesn’t approach off aggressive. It must have been a difficult role to play accurate.
Good extras on the film including some nice deleted scenes. The commentary with Taika was a limited off putting. He seems a bit over it. His girlfriend, Lorena Horsely who plays Lily calls from NZ and they talk a bit about the film, but neither one of them seem very into it. It seems like the commentary was added a long long time after the film was made and maybe thrown in because of the success of Conchords. The most captivating commentary comes from the guy that plays Jarrod’s brother in law. Taika says things like “that scene comes from the Sundance film workshop” but doesn’t clarify what that is or why he was there. Flight of the Conchords fans don’t bewitch Eagle to hear any interviews or commentary with Jemaine. He is curiously absent from all the extras here as he was with Conchords. Jemaine seems more over it all these days than anyone. I doubt HBO will gather a season 3 out of him unless they throw him indignant indignant money.
There are a lot of colossal views of NZ in this film. Loved the camera shot on the playground with Lily running in the mouse wheel with the bay out the abet. Radiant. Respectable music from the Phoenix Foundation Horsepower, Pegasus that works well with the film. The soundtrack wasn’t chosen for marketing purposes, it actually works with what’s going on in the film.
When I recognize a great film like this, completed for under a million dollars, you wonder what is going on in Hollywood these days that more films like this aren’t made. Hollywood is superior at throwing money into a lot of boring scripts with hot actors, but it takes someone like Taika to reach along and expose how a grand movie is really about a salubrious script, not special effects and sparkling people.
