(1 - 20) of 20 OFCS Rating: 50% Rotten Page   1   3/5 "Eagle vs. Shark is more interested in whimsy than wit, and when it comes to milking its characters for a little goofball charm, we are stuck with mostly peculiarities vs. personalities"   PopMatters   Bill Gibron B+ "Even if he's buried under a mound of bad timing, Cohen has a vision for Shark that he maintains with visual eloquence and a wonderful sense of humor all his own."   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf C- "A paean film to lonely misfits that follows along the same tracks as "Napoleon Dynamite," and relies entirely on being a charmer."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz B- "Has eccentricity in spades, and a winning performance in lead actress Loren Horsley, yet doesn't quite add up to the sum of its parts."   FilmJerk.com   Edward Havens C "Eagle vs Shark is self-consciously odd and only wants to hold up its protagonists as objects of derision."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2.5/4 "A hit and miss little film with a forced sense of eccentricity that falls flat, but is otherwise saved by hilarious one-liners..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. D "Wants to be charmingly off-kilter but comes across as insufferably grating."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "A wacky and endearing love story set in New Zealand that brings to mind the oddball charm of Napoleon Dynamite."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2/4 "It becomes increasingly difficult to care one way or another about characters who act like they have undergone frontal lobotomies."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/5 "Doesn't register more than halfway up the comedy meter."   Filmcritic.com   Jay Antani 4/10 "...mostly tedious and depressing, its eighty-eight minutes going by in about eight hours."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 2.5/5 "It's a lovely character study, full of whimsy and the same kind of oddball jerktitude of Napoleon Dynamite, but less abrasive. Sweet, joyless, whimsical, and fantastically acted."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Karina Montgomery D "...a perfect example of manufactured tweeness, a film desperate to be quirky and offbeat but which just doesn't get it..."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 1/4 "Eagle vs. Shark is nothing more and nothing less than a romantic, New Zealand variant of Napoleon Dynamite."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 4/5 "The genius of this film is the way it keeps us laughing at the eccentricities while also challenging us to find a positive way to move forward with our lives."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B "Romantic comedy about two lonely people who find each other while orbiting on the outer fringes of society reminded me of 'Napoleon Dynamite.'"   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 4/5 "The humor is fast-paced and character-based, and the two leads are nothing short of hilarious."   Cinematical   Scott Weinberg C+ "It becomes apparent early on that excessive teenage eccentricity and terminal self-delusion isn't quite as cute in the adult male and absent father."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 2.5/4 "a fun little quirky movie but to similar to another curtain quirky movie.."   sbs.is   Stefan Birgir Stefansson 4/10 "A romantic comedy where one of the participants treats the other like crap."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton  (1 - 20) of 20 OFCS Rating: 50% Rotten Page   1
