Lily works at a fast-food restaurant...and is lonely. She has a crush on Jarrod, who works at a nearby store, but he hardly notices her. Then he invites a work colleague of hers to a party of his, and Lily goes in her place. Soon, a relationship blossoms.

Sweet, funny and feel-good yet wonderfully understated. The directorial debut of Taika Waititi, who went on to direct Boy, What We Do In The Shadows, Hunt For The Wilderpeople and Thor: Ragnarok. Contains the best elements of these movies - the warmth of Boy and Hunt For The Wilderpeople and the comedy of What We Do In The Shadows.

Very sensitively told with some great humour along the way. Some lines are brilliant in their effectiveness ("Don't go to work, they think you're dead" had me in stitches).

This all told in so understated a fashion that it is quite self-deprecating.

Good work by Loren Horsley and Jemaine Clement (of Flight Of The Conchords fame) in the lead roles.

Great movie.

I seriously thought it was going to be an ok movie for me to watch, well it was a disaster. I find that the two characters were more confused and all over the place especially the guys role. Whoever wrote this film, should be ashamed of themselves! The guys role was like a dwerp who just wants to make people's lives a living hell and the girl is like dreamy but confused. The writers honestly should've redone both characters personality and make them more get to the point that one of them I'd genuinely in love with one another!

Horrible movie, AVOID!!!!

Lily (Loren Horsley) is a loser cashier at the fast food Meaty Boy restaurant. She has a crush on weird Jarrod (Jemaine Clement) who works at the electronic store. She is a sad sack living with her brother and their cats while writing her songs. He usually avoids her but invites her to an animal costume party mostly to get another girl. She goes as a shark. It's a downbeat party with him as an eagle. They play a video game tournament where she beats everybody and face off against Jarrod. She lets him win and they have a fling. He reveals his need to kill his former bully.

I love Lily. I'm good with most of this except I hate Jarrod. I would love this far more if she dumps him at the climax and keeps him dumped. It's not like he improves that much by the end. I want better for Lily. She should gain her confidence and go off into the sunset for a life of performing. Taika Waititi's visual style is inventively quirky. It's not big laughs but there are plenty of weird. The obvious comparison is Napoleon Dynamite and I simply find Lily more appealing.
