If you have ever been to New Zealand then you will be completely aware of their extremely unique sense of humour.
The movie is written and directed by Taika Waititi who has generated a cult following in New Zealand and internationally, writing and directing classics like Flight of the Concords, Boy, Hunt for the Wilder People and What We Do In The Shadows. partialy thanks to whimsical little interludes of animation, but mainly because it ties blithe absurdity to a rock bed of emotional truth.This is a film that champions the geeks and freaks of this world, throwing two awkward losers together in a love story set in Wellington and Tatahi Bay, New Zealand.

With Jenny not at work one day, Jarrod gives Lily an invitation to his "dress as your favourite animal" party to pass along to her, but Jenny crumples it up and throws it away upon receiving it. Jarrod doesn't even notice her nd he has his eyes glued to Lily's workmate, Jenny.

Eagle vs Shark is a 2007 dramatic-romantic-comedy starring Jemaine Clement and Loren Horsley. The story of two (or more) nerds was put together so well, that sometimes I wanted to become a nerd myself. Ward, Devendra Banhart and British group The Stone Roses. And to listen as well because the soundtrack features New Zealand artists The Phoenix Foundation, Age Pryor, The Reduction Agents, and Tessa Rain, along with M. But even on a small screen this film financed by the New Zealand Film Commission which had its world premiere at Sundance in the World Cinema Dramatic section of the festival, was impressive to watch.
