Lack of good storyline.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

What to discuss about films like this? absolutely nothing , every impotent untalented people in those days going out getting a camera in their hands and make movies and they also make a lots of promises, we doing this to save the world , to save the politics system to save hungry people , to save the plants , to save dolphins ,monkeys etc , what a shame Don't YOU EVER PEOPLE THINKED WE KNOW ALL OF THIS? Don't YOU EVER THINKED THAT THIS ARE THINGS THAT EVERYONE KNOWS? Don't YOU UNDERSTAND THAT HUMAN RACE Doesn't WANT TO SAVE PLANETS PLANTS NATURE ETC? WE Don't WANT TO SAVE ANYTHING ! WHY? Because we just don't care and this exists in our nature in our DNA ,YES WE ARE SELFISH B ASTARDS THATS WHAT WE ARE, WE CARE ONLY ABOUT HOW WE LL FILL OUR POCKETS WITH MONEY,OUR STOMACH WITH FOOD AND TO F ... Everyone AND EVERYTHING ON THIS PLANET , SO ACCEPT IT ...And if you really care use some art to express this things because in the way you doing this you waisting your time and our time ,because i m saying again we know all this things we just need to look at it in the good looking way and to say AHH! thats a nice point of view.

I had NOT heard a thing about this film and I nearly didn't go in because of the poster but some friends of ours had told us under NO circumstances to miss it because they'd gone in and seen it when some film or other was sold out and were so glad they did! BTW I hated the poster - something to do with reminding me of Dumb and Dumber - but our friends had sworn by it and we went in. We LOVED it! Really funny,really touching in places, great drama, language that was fruitier than your mother might approve of (if you see where I'm going with this!) and really a wonderful story of two friends who try to do their best and just frankly, get a bit out of their depth! Rhys Thomas (who I had not heard of) and Stephen Mangan (who is a genius) are so good in this I hope they do lots more together because they seemed born to play opposite each other. Quite a double act! And Alexander Skarsgard, who I recognised but couldn't place is apparently a huge star in True Blood (which I haven't seen) but I have to take my hat off to him. He was HILARIOUS. Really, go see this movie. It's not a Hollywood blockbuster but when was the last great comedy that came out of that place?! Really, do yourself a favour, go see this and then tell me how great a night you had!

If you like comedies with funny slapstick, witty dialogues, heart- warming characters and a well argued yet not too obvious message, then avoid this film at all costs. The script is abysmal. It is full of jokes involving such incredibly funny things as frost-bitten penises or the motto "don't be impotent, be important", it contains plenty of unwarranted slapstick and almost boasts a quite predictable and otherwise totally flat storyline. I see that other reviewers have highlighted the supposed "message" that this film conveys. The message the film seems to promote is "people who care about the environment are utter morons". The acting is actually not too bad, and I liked the song of the end credits, hence they gain an extra point from me. 2 out of 10.By the way, it is surprising the number of 10/10 reviews (about 15) when only 36 people have given a vote to this date, and its average is 6. Hmmm, something does not quite compute here. And by the way, not a single one of the 10/10 reviewers has ever posted any other review on this site. Oh dear oh dear...

Beyond The Pole is a tongue in cheek movie about climate change, among other things. It also deals with friendships that are strained to breaking point and the strength of human spirit, albeit with a comedic feel. This independent mockumentary style film made me think while I laughed and at times, cringed. I never felt that it preached to me about the whole climate change debate, but somehow at the end I felt that I had been enlightened slightly. Maybe it is because the film was actually shot on floating ice caps, with the whole handy cam feel, that it gives you a sense of actually being with the characters as they struggle with their adventure, through the good times, and the bad.With twists and turns at many points, this film kept me guessing till the end.A definite must see, even if it's only for a laugh.
