According to common wisdom, if you like Napoleon Dynamite you'll like
this. As NP does very little for me, I didn't hold much hope for Eagle
vs Shark. Thankfully, there's an underlying warmth to this film which
I find quite endearing. In particular, the performance of Loren
Horsley as the thoroughly decent Lily rescues the story from a simple
caricature of nerds being stupid, and gives it a touch of humanity.
Not a film I would rave about, but one that I found surprisingly
enjoyable.
Oh, and I loved the strange stop-motion episodes.
