Eagle vs Shark / New Zealand / 2007
One of the more enunciated examples of nerd chic, Eagle vs Shark expends roughly its first half embellishing its characters’ irregularity: Lily and Jarrod meet at a party at which one is to come dressed as a favorite animal, hence Eagle vs Shark. The party begins with a videogame contest (a rather outstanding Mortal Kombat mod entitled Fight Man), and ends with a sex scene that is consummated with a hostile prank phone call. (I have not mentioned a fight sequence that involves a crippled man.) It avoids (much of) the exploitation of Napoleon Dynamite and the bitterness of The Science of Sleep in favor for a more formulaic romantic resolution, which innovative within this company of films.
