... gives us more of a reason to hope for the best for said character to return safely after their expedition. If your an overly analytical or critical movie watcher then it could be seen as fairly easy to guess the outcome of this film but then I don't think its necessarily a movie that you would want to sit and guess it all out ahead of time, if you know what I mean.
The comedy is there, I think the best word to describe it is quirky, this film is definitely quirky - the characters are interesting in a quirky sort of ...more

- Story - Two friends, Mark and Brian, decide to set out on a long trip across the arctic to the north pole, with a radio enthusiast keeping in touch with them from a small caravan in England as they endeavour to reach the north pole, hopefully becoming the first expedition that cross the arctic unsupported, carbon neutral and as vegetarians while gaining the medias attention and bringing the issue of climate change to the forefront for Brits at home and also aiming to achieve the Guiness World Record. - More Info., Thoughts & Opinions - The film (its really more like a one off TV show though rather than a full blown feature ...

Title: Beyond the Pole Starring: Rhys Thomas, Stephen Mangan, Rosie Cavaliero, Helen Baxendale Director: David L Williams Released: July 5th 2010 Running time: 87 minutes Certificate: 15 Beyond the Pole is a British mockumentary adapted from a Radio 4 series about two guys who attempt the first unassisted expedition to the Arctic because they like the idea of getting into the Guinness Book of Records. Of course it's fake but Rhys Thomas and Stephen Mangan have produced a likeable and amusing, whilst also fairly convincing, film.

There are, however, some fantastic shots of the Arctic as our two crazed explorers embark on an unlikely bid to reach the North Pole on foot. The film has been compared to Withnail and I, Touching the Void, and The Office. While not totally in agreement regarding the quality I can detect some ... Read the complete review
