Mark and Brian want to be the first carbon-neutral vegans to make it to the North Pole.

Catherine Shoard

Guardian

This is gummy (if welcome) eco-film satire, then, but mostly just a vehicle for tent and crampon gags, and for Mangan to perfect his grating-dolt shtick.

Rated: 2/5

Little White Lies

It is by turns a ferocious 'j'accuse' of the limits of liberal intervention and the myth of personal responsibility, underpinned by a surprisingly bitter current of darkness and despair.

With considerable experience in both comedy and genuine docus, helmer David L. Williams... knows exactly the filmmaking cliches he's spoofing, as well as the deadpan comic timing needed to stretch this over feature length.

Beyond the Pole is an enjoyably oddball independent British comedy, made with an engaging edginess.

The movie is humorous throughout, and really tugs on the heartstrings...

A british eco comedy, which doesn't have much laughs, but a quite surprising bittersweet ending, which will make u change your mind about one of the main characters......

Quite fun but pretty lightweight in most ways, this should, perhaps, have gone straight to television and only the impressive locations ever make it feel any more than that.

What starts out as a silly comedy mock-doc turns into a bit of an adventure with some heart.
