Taika Waititi's first feature is an offbeat comedy about two misfits trying to find love. Lily (Loren Taylor from movie Existence) is a shy fast-food cashier with a crush on clueless gaming geek Jarrod (Jemaine Clement). When Lily crashes Jarrod's fancy dress party in a shark costume, she impresses the self-styled 'Eagle Lord' with her gaming prowess — excerpted here. But the budding romance is sorely tested by Jarrod's obsession with a childhood nemesis. Empire called the film "a comic delight destined for cult adoration". Watch interviews with the cast and crew after the excerpt, and read this backgrounder.

Geek love from Kiwiland.
– Critic Andrew O'Heir describes the film, on website Salon.com, 14 June 2007
