Okay ... we love Flight of the Conchords in our house and so we looked forward to seeing this film. A friend of ours said: "Get it, get it" and so last weekend we did. It was slow-paced with dry humour which I found charming, but I did think it dragged in some places. HOWEVER, all is forgiven with Eagle -v- Shark because it has one of the most cringe-inducing fight scenes I have ever seen.

THAT scene made the movie worthwhile and all flaws are forgiven.

I'd say 6.5/7 out of 10.

Definitely worth a look - if you like slow paced, dry humour with "interesting" characters. If you liked Napolean Dynamite ... I'm pretty sure you'd like this one.
