Review of Eagle vs Shark (2007) by Jay S — 25 Aug 2009
Ok, it's a contradiction, but "Eagle vs Shark" is not like "Napoleon Dynamite" but it looks like "Napoleon Dynamite". Reasons? 1- This isn't a high school tale folks, but try to imagine how would be Napoleon 15 years after it.
Imagined? Ok, that's how "Eagle..." sounds. 2- Napoleon is a likable and deep inside a lovely character while Jarrod is completely the opposite. Both of them are nerds and both seem disconnected to their own specific worlds.
3- "Napoleon Dynamite" and "Eagle vs Shark" are over-the-top quirky multiplied by two. So, you can affirm that "Eagle" is the kiwi "Napoleon" or that "Eagle" is a quirky loving story which resembles "Napoleon" a little.
It's a contradiction indeed. Oh, by the way, even if Jarrod is one of the most hateful characters of the history you'll enjoy the movie. And you'll probably feel sorry for him at the end. Recommended.
