Wish I Were a Shark

About This Movie

Wish I Were a Shark is this quirky 1999 comedy that really leans into the absurdity of rural life clashing with urban escapades. It follows two hicks from the Dalmatian hinterland who head to Split, full of youthful bravado and a naive desire to chase local girls. Meanwhile, you’ve got Ive Dumanic, a brewery worker whose life takes a dive after a beer mishap. The pacing is a bit loose, which kind of mirrors the characters' aimlessness. The performances have an unpolished charm that feels genuine, adding to the film's rustic vibe. There’s a certain rawness to the practical effects and storytelling that sets it apart, making it a fun watch for those intrigued by offbeat comedies.
