A wry comedy that chronicles the quirky romance of two awkward misfits, Lily (Loren Horsley), a shy fast-food restaurant cashier, and her crush, Jarrod (Jemaine Clement, HBO’s One Night Stand: the Fight of the Conchords), an electronic store clerk. On the day Lily gets fired from her job at Meaty Boy, she musters up the courage to attend Jarrod’s annual “come as your favorite animal” costume party. The dressy affair sparks the beginnings of a romance as well as a small journey for the pair to Jarrod’s quiet hometown.

"First viewing - Sept. 10th Now that I'm a fan of Taika's, I figured I'd give this a look. I have vague memories of encountering a trailer for it and being unimpressed, writing it off as an attempt at another Napoleon Dynamite. It's not that, but if Eagle vs Shark wasn't at least a little influenced by that film I'd be surprised. Thankfully it's better overall than that film was, though I still had moments where I struggled with it. My biggest issue was that I felt like the central relationship "

"Bought this from Amazon with What we do in the Shadows, because that got me really interested on Taika Waititi's earlier movies. And this was as well a good and funny movie. At the beginning I had hard time with Jemaine Clements hair... I really hate stupid wigs/hairstyles in comedies. But that fitted the weird character pretty well so I got over it."
