| Film ThreatMark BellI don't care how you do it, you have to see Eagle vs. Shark. At worst, you'll walk away amused. At best, you'll have a new favorite movie. Regardless, you will have a fun time. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekWants to be charmingly off-kilter but comes across as insufferably grating. |
| FilmJerk.comEdward HavensHas eccentricity in spades, and a winning performance in lead actress Loren Horsley, yet doesn't quite add up to the sum of its parts. |
