A polar bear of many words, Norm's greatest gripe is simple: there is no room for tourists in the Arctic. But when a maniacal developer threatens to build luxury condos in his own backyard, Norm does what all normal polar bears would do...he heads to New York City to stop it. With a cast of ragtag lemmings at his side, Norm takes on the big apple, big business and a big identity crisis to save the day. (Lionsgate US)

It seems like there's a necessity that films set beyond the Arctic Circle must have an ecological message that's literally hammered into the heads of the audience. This also applies to Norm of the North, the purpose of which is to make people aware that it's not a good idea to build houses on ice... A truly dizzying idea. But sometimes it's also a bit entertaining.

Norm of the North is weak, although to be honest, I have seen some worse (most recently Agent F.O.X.)... Still, Norm of the North does not get to have an average rating from me either. The narrative is riddled with clichés mixed with an environmental message that is not very well presented. Animals acting like humans have not been doing much for me lately either, and a bear acting like humans among humans did not work for me at all. The main male protagonist had neither enough cuteness nor charisma to make me like him. The bad guy did not strike me as scary or interesting, rather awkward and repulsive, and the luminescent failed as a funny element because no matter what they did, I did not laugh. Anyway, my expectations were not very high, so there was no disappointment or disgust. I could watch it once; I could probably do it again, too, although I am not attracted to the idea. So, in conclusion, I am just going to repeat what I started with, it is weak, even though I have seen worse. 3.4/10.
