Børning - The Fast & The Funniest (Original title: Børning ) is a Norwegian action film directed by Hallvard Bræin from 2014 . The screenplay, written by Linn-Jeanethe Kyed, is based on an idea by Hallvard Bræin; the original story was written by Christopher Grøndahl.
action
Motor freak Roy, who has set up a small workshop, is particularly interested in car racing. In his free time he enjoys tinkering with his beloved yellow Ford Mustang "Lillegul". His 14-year-old daughter Nina lives far from Roy together with her mother in a more middle-class environment.
When Nina's mother asks Roy to take care of his daughter for a certain period of time because she is absent, he is not exactly thrilled, as he has only had sporadic contact with Nina and doesn't really know what to do with her. The only race listed on the stock exchange also takes place during this period.
When the race is over and the award ceremony is over, Roy's archenemy TT comes up to him and challenges him to contest the illegal car race “Street Legal” over 2000 kilometers across Norway from Oslo to the North Cape together with him and other 24 car enthusiasts . Whoever gets to the North Cape first wins the race, but it is not allowed to drive through Sweden. Now it is so that many years ago Roy lost a race that went from Bergen to Murmansk in northern Russia to his eternal rival. There was a momentous accident, the consequences of which the car freak was supposed to rethink for a long time in prison, and it indirectly involved his daughter, for whom he is now again responsible. So he asks himself time to think it over, although he thinks he has good chances and would like to show what he and his “Lillegul” are made of. But when Nina tells him that she really wants to be part of the race and yet could be his co-pilot, he changes his mind. Why shouldn't it offer her an exciting trip through the Scandinavian landscape, especially since father and daughter can get closer and get to know each other better when they share experiences.

criticism
The film magazine Cinema judged: “Fast-paced and funny. A hit."
jpc.de felt this "action comedy about illegal street racing from the far north" is "all the way to sort of , on the Highway is hell broke loose ' and , Smokey and the Bandit ' with a touch , The Fast and the Furious ' and ' Taxi ' . Technically very high quality, the film produces gripping racing scenes, extreme stunts and a good load of humor with an emotional father-daughter relationship. "
The criticism at deepground.de was mostly negative. “Beautiful nature shots and good camera technology” were praised. However, the film offers neither action nor a comedy - and "the bottom line is simply boring". It also said: “No matter which part of the story you consider the main part, everything always seems to be only half-finished. [...] However, the father-daughter relationship is particularly half-baked. In his role as a father, Roy doesn't just seem awkward, but stupid to mean. And still receives the unconditional love of his daughter, who is in the middle of puberty? It's not just one-dimensional, it's almost fictional. But above all, this story just leaves the viewer cold. "
