This time, it's personal.

Looking forward to this one actually.
This looks fantastic! by SkeletonParty	Jun 13th, 2007 05:36:26 PM
Is it a remake? I only watch things I've seen before.
Oh boy!!! A cross between the most overated movies by modlight	Jun 13th, 2007 05:37:35 PM
of the last couple years?!! Little Miss Sunshine and Napolean Dynamite were both soooooooo super funny LOL!! I am so there. Thank you reviewer for saying the magic words that tipped the scales on my deciding to go to this movie. The trailer looked like it had chance... now I know it doesn't.

Well someone was gonna say it.
I hope it has a more satisfying ending than Squid by iamnicksaicnsn	Jun 13th, 2007 05:42:51 PM
That movie pissed me the fuck off. Great acting, good story, then abrupt unsatisfying ending? Fuck that.

Am I the only one who reads this and thinks plant?
This film deserves better than all the ND comparisons by Bungion Boy	Jun 13th, 2007 05:45:31 PM
I saw it at Sundance. It's not perfect. Quint nails it. Funny. Quirky. Sweet. The character of Jarod is a little like Napoleon in some respects, but it's really the story of Lily. And the characters in have a major difference from the ones in ND. They actually want something. They're on a quest for something. They're not just different for the sake of being different. I'm sorry. I don't want to start an ND debate. Just see this movie. It's quite good.
squid and the whale by Fineus Fog	Jun 13th, 2007 06:16:37 PM
should not be held in the same regards as ND or E V S. Both of those are slightly retarded comedies
Is it too early to start getting tired of the Lovable by CreasyBear	Jun 13th, 2007 06:42:17 PM
Loser comedies? 40 Year Old Virgin, Little Miss Sunshine, Napoleon Dynamite, Superbad, Knocked Up, etc., etc. If this keeps up, I'm going to yearn for the days of the Stiller-Wilson-Ferrell stranglehold.
Erm... by voxmortis	Jun 13th, 2007 06:47:01 PM
I saw the trailer and it didn't look too good at all. Movie of the year comment makes the review sound a bit dodgy, to say the least!
That is a review?! by MrCere	Jun 13th, 2007 07:16:40 PM
I may need to hurry and write my own. I did actually see the movie and laughed my ass off.(Don't worry, I found it under my seat after the show).
Jason Vs Freddy Vs Eagle Vs Shark Vs Alien Vs Predator. by Alonzo Mosely	Jun 13th, 2007 07:19:27 PM
Winner gets their own 3 picture deal with FOX...
Not as funny as ND nor as compelling as LMS by Wongertron	Jun 13th, 2007 08:27:20 PM
I was really looking forward to this and saw it at SIFF couple of weeks ago. I have to say I was a bit disappointed. So much of the humor is mired by the sadness of these characters, and the romantic resolve at the end seemed incredibly abrupt. The director, Cohen, was at the screening and said he wanted to call the film "Sad Animals", which I think is more appropriate than the gimmicky "Eagle vs Shark". I would still recommend it, just not compare it to ND and definitely not LMS. Cohen even sounded like he made this film AND THEN saw ND.
Ok, WHO THOUGHT... by cornponious	Jun 13th, 2007 11:37:02 PM
that this was another one of those "versus" movies, like "snake versus komodo dragon", or "python versus giant dung beetle" or something stupid like that? I did.
I saw it at a screenwritng seriese last week by BrightEyes	Jun 13th, 2007 11:56:58 PM
it was a pretty oright film, It just kinda felt like napolean dinomite again and I didnt really want another one, it has some nice moments
series* by BrightEyes	Jun 13th, 2007 11:58:13 PM
Hostel 2 is amazing though.

Think of Little Miss Sunshine humor blah blah blah by PacmanFever	Jun 14th, 2007 04:15:11 AM
I'm sure that kind of stuff is all well and good, but I was hoping this movie would be about an eagle fighting a shark.
People actually don't change all that much by Spandau Belly	Jun 14th, 2007 07:04:36 AM
from when they were grade school kids who punched the bloke they fancied and such. Adulthood just adds booze to the mix. Most of the adults I know are more childish than the children they themselves have.
What is Flight of the Conchords? by Jakes Nel	Jun 14th, 2007 07:45:55 AM
Oh, so now I'm the stupid one, right?
Re: Oh boy!!! A cross between the most overated movies by Angry Golfer	Jun 14th, 2007 08:07:36 AM
Napoleon Dynamite, yes is over rated. Little Miss Sunshine is far from over rated. The performances alone in that movie render it unable to be over rated. Don't worry, Nancy Drew is coming out this weekend for you.
I think I'd rather watch an eagle fight a shark! by Borgnine JR	Jun 14th, 2007 08:20:39 AM
Ah but how to bring them together?
"...but it is not with 5th graders." by posbasso	Jun 14th, 2007 08:47:58 AM
I think a 5th grader wrote this.
Saw it last night by TruPhan	Jun 14th, 2007 11:11:37 AM
There's a reson why everyone is comparing it to Napoleon Dynamite - it's a lot like Napoleon Dynamite. The cinematography and humor of the film is very similar. The Jarrod character weilds nunchucks. The main difference is in the story. Whereas ND was aimless, this story has a true beginning, middle and end, and isn't made by a bunch of Mormans. I'd call this Napoleon Dynamite with an R-rating (for some expletives and a pretty great computer scene). Recommended if you're not tired of ND. If you are, don't bother.
Flight of the "Conchords"? by Skyway Moaters	Jun 14th, 2007 04:08:21 PM
Is this reviewer a native english speaker?
This years... LITTLE MISS PLANT... by Gunschlinger	Jun 14th, 2007 04:38:42 PM
Hit the bricks.
Yes Skyway Conchords by OGREISHERE	Jun 14th, 2007 06:08:54 PM
That is how it is spelled for the show Flight of the Conchords on HBO.

A comedy from Down Under? Awesome!!!!!! by PotSmokinAlien	Jun 14th, 2007 08:50:49 PM
i mean normally i would say that it cant' possibly top The Dish or Danny Deckchair, but ripping off Napoleon Dynamite and Wes Anderson movies just might push it over the edge of hilarity!!!!! Opening night baby, opening fucking night! I hear there is a scene where they fuck whilst wearing the titular animal costumes! What could be funnier! Wait, there is also a shot of them in sleeping bags sleeping head to toe, how charming and unexpected, if i was sleeping in a sleeping bag with someone, i would probably do it with both of our heads at the same end so we could kiss and stuff but i guess i am just not quirky enough!!! I'm glad i know about that shot too, so i can make myself laugh extra loud when i see it to tell everyone else in the theatre just how quirky an individual i am!!!!!!!! Yay commercialization of originality!!
Thought for a minute.. by nolan bautista	Jun 14th, 2007 11:31:56 PM
..that this was one of those cheesy kung-fu flicks from the Shaw Brothers
I wish it were a Shaw Brothers flick by Shepard Wong	Jun 15th, 2007 10:23:52 AM
Then I wouldn't have had the feeling I wasted 90 minutes watching this unfunny, derivative film. I was literally angry at myself for wasting the time slot at the festival when I saw this.
