20 Worst Movies Of 2016 (So Far)
4. Norm Of The North
Sometimes, it's best just to chalk some films down as being solely for the kids and get on with your life when they're completely devoid of entertainment value. But in the case of Norm Of The North, I genuinely feel like I would judge any child who professed to like this drivel.
Starring Rob Schneider as Norm - the polar bear who discovers that a cataclysmically idiotic businessman wants to build "luxury" homes in his icy home and heads to New York to intervene - the film is the worst kind of "This Is Not Pixar" animation. It might have a nice message about preserving the environment, but it's almost provocatively unfunny, features a twerking polar bear (in one of the only memorable sequences) and lacks any sort of charm that would make its foolishness forgivable.
The film fundamentally manages to take elements from much better films and squeeze them through a mangle to remove the goodness and the substance, so all you're left with is a sorry looking husk that even the numbest of children will grow tired of pretty sharpish.
