Boris and the Bomb

Boris has a bomb, a severe problem, and a dedicated Yuber (not Uber) driver.

Boris and The Bomb is a fun romp that starts on the streets of Los Angeles. It's a light-hearted action-comedy that's full of heart (if that makes sense). The movie paces well, and we don't experience dull moments. The action/editing is done surprisingly well with higher budget movies still missing this mark. The movie entertains us through a fast-moving plot and a landscape dotted with new and outrageous characters. Don't take this movie and its characters too seriously. Make your popcorn, sit back on the couch, and escape into the world of Boris and The Bomb!

Not sure if it was more Kronmiller or McLean who was more to blame for this one not being better or if they equally at fault. This is a good Airplane/zaniness piss take type comedy, but it could've been great. The ingredients are all there: absurd premise, former KGB officer who is CLEARLY not Russian; factions left & right with characters jumping from one to the other, and a good grasp for this brand of absurdist & slapstick humor. But it seems Kronmiller wasn't sure whether to go all in on the humor or try to carry out the actual story line to some reasonable conclusion. But this one needed more of the funny. That means at least three fewer fight scenes (got old after a while) with less death or pseudo-drama that killed the feel/tone of the movie, slowing down or just bringing to a screeching halt the timbre of the comedy.

I sat through the first 55mins but had to turn it off after that. There is no comedy and the acting is extremely poor. Suggest you give it a miss even if you are extremely desperate.The Velocipastor rates 10 times better then this garbage.

This seemed like a good premise and creative plot.....but was painful to watch. Maybe that's what the director and producers wanted but the mix of comic slapstyle and serious dramatic scenarios along with seemingly amateurish actors and acting doesn't seem like good shtick. The whole film was just so amateurish and made no attempt to hide it.....or offer anything in general worth seeing. I won't spoil the plot, you'll have to find that out yourself if you can sit through the entire piece. Good luck. So this rates just a 5, for barely watchable, a generous score and just above a 4, unwatchable. Nice effort though.

Keep an open mind and if you're a fan of inventive little independent films this one's a great choice. Off the wall comedic concept with fun action set pieces. Great time if you're watching with friends which I how watched it, with beers!
