Movie 2011.05.24 - Eagle vs. Shark

Quirky romcom from NZ about two socially-awkward-inept geeks finding love and meaning in their lives. I like my quirky movies, but this one is too quirky for me.

Movie is centered on Jarrod gearing up to fight his high school bully Eric, who made life hell for him. Lily works in a fast food outlet, and she has a crush on Jarrod. They got on quite nicely until Jarrod decides to dump her, and goes after his dead brother's fiance.

So Jarrod shows up on the school yard with his family and friends only to discover that Eric is actually paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. Doesn't matter. He starts to beat Eric (and himself) with nunchucks, but Eric managed to wrestle and pin him to the ground. Jarrod got depressed because of this, and Lily reconciles with him.
