Eagle vs Shark

Ok, for all of you Flight of the Conchords fans, this one's for you! Flight of the Conchords is a show (that just recently came to our attention) about two New Zealanders (Brett and Jemaine) who come to America and try to make it big with their music...and they are absolutely hilarious (to see a sample of their work, please click here, and for a less scandalous song, click here). Because we love this show, we were intrigued when we discovered that Jemaine stared in Eagle vs. Shark several years before Flight of the Conchords aired. Now, I have to warn you...this kind of comedy is not for everyone. In fact, this movie was so awkward that I just couldn't help myself from cringing the entire time. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED the movie...and you will like it too, if you like that sort of thing. Think Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, and Napoleon Dynamite...these movies have the same uncomfortable feeling to them. This film follows two socially inept oddballs as they search for love. Loren Horsley is classic, from her outfits to her makeup to the gigantic mole on her face. Eagle vs Shark sends a remarkable message to the world...that there really is someone for everyone. I'm giving this film 3 pigs (and that is just based on the animal party...you'll know what I mean!).
