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...

In this completely unfunny and self-consciously quirky pile of tosh some faces who you'll recognise from some equally unfunny TV shows trek to the pole. Aside from the big dollop of populist anti-scientific cult- like global warming nonsense the film just isn't funny at all.What is funny though is that the cast and crew have been STRAIGHT onto the IMDb to post a load of totally unconvincing fake reviews. I mean check them out, most of them are saying they can't wait till the DVD is released or praising this as a masterpiece. Yet weirdly, not one of them have written another review for any other movie. Naturally they found this one so good they had to dash on to register and give it a 10 though. They aren't the first crappy movie to do this, they're just the most blatant. Check out the internet and you'll find them begging people to come on and give them a good review, pathetic. I appreciate that our film industry is on its arse but we aren't that desperate yet. Come on guys, a 10 from everyone? At least throw in a couple of 8's and 7's to make it look a bit more convincing.This film is a waste of time. It's not funny, it's not entertaining and it doesn't deserve more than three stars. I gave it one since the cast and crew have decided it's a 10. Why is it everything to do with global warming (re-branded as climate change) has that air of scam about it? I hope this one loses more money than it makes, it deserves it for boring the hell out of me and riding the liars bandwagon just as the wheels fall off.

Went to see this film at a preview last week. The cast is superbly put together. I love to see a good British comedy and this has everything you want in it. Well known British comedy actors at their best.The storyline is cleverly written, current & emotive besides being very funny. It puts over the issues of climate change in a way that will make you think about what is happening to the planet and what you can do about it. There are some very memorable scenes that want to make you go see it again. Loved the hilarious scenes between the Brits and the Norwegians.Beyond the Pole 2 should be considered by the producers. Maybe vegetarian Salsa dancers go the pole next!D and R.

I just loved this film. I love movies that have great messages embedded in them. Yet, you are so captivated by the characters, that you don't really know you are being taught a very valuable lesson at the same time. This film has that kind of effect on you. It is a great message about undertaking a call, and the experiences that come along with taking responsibility for your life and what happens to your world. As with every great story, a tragedy does take place, and your emotions are exposed. However, the tragedy brings awareness to the reality that some people are not strong enough to carry the torch; but the one who is able can. I left the film feeling empowered and challenged to "BE IMPORTANT," and so will anyone who sees it.I can't wait for it to come out in the theaters and on DVD so that I can add this masterpiece to my collection.
