Synopsis

Celebrated short film director Taika Waititi's first feature is an offbeat comedy about two lonely misfits and their bumbling attempts to find love. Lily is a shy fast-food restaurant cashier with a crush on clueless gaming geek Jarrod. When Lily crashes Jarrod's fancy dress party wearing a shark costume and impresses the self-styled ‘Eagle Lord' with her gaming prowess, she gets her man, but their fledgling romance is sorely tested by Jarrod's obsession with a childhood nemesis.
