Starring: Pat Shortt, Anne-Marie Duff

Two misfit losers fall in and out of love in this oddball Kiwi comedy about the awkwardness of romance. Lily (Loren Horsley) is a plain Jane cashier at the Meaty Boy burger shop; her new boyfriend Jared (Jemaine Clement) is an über-geek man-child with a passion for videogames, martial arts and making abusive phone calls to a guy named Eric. They're an unlikely couple but after they hook up at a fancy dress party a bizarre road trip ensues. Clement and Horsley underplay their characters nicely; it's as if they're space aliens come to live among us - hearing everything we say but listening only to their Universal Translators.
