Eagle vs Shark (2007) - 365 Movie Challenge Day 134

Day 134 of the challenge! Eagle vs Shark is too quirky and awkward for it's own good! It really comes off like a New Zealand version of Napoleon Dynamite, but with a harsher and meaner edge. There are plenty of good laughs to be had (and some moments so cringy and awkward you almost want to shut it off) mixed in with all the heavy and borderline depressing moments of anger and sadness. You almost forget you're watching a comedy during these times. In that regard, I'd argue Eagle vs Shark is a lot more emotional and human than Napoleon Dynamite, but nowhere near as funny. Take that as you will.
