Synopsis

Australian comedian (and producer, filmmaker, editor, screenwriter, stunt person and songsmith) Yahoo Serious does everything and more in this spoof on the early life of 20th- century genius Albert Einstein. Transported from
Europe to the Australian island of Tasmania, the young scientist-to-be is first encountered on his parents' apple farm where he discovers the Law of Relativity while attempting to brew up a batch of homemade beer. Einstein goes on to accidentally invent the atomic bomb and -- more importantly -- the electric guitar which leads, of course, to his discovery of rock 'n' roll. And, in the midst of it all, he still finds time to romance Marie Curie.

Review

USA Today, 08/24/1989, p.4D, "...The supporting roles are pleasingly cast..."

New York Times, 08/04/1989, p.C13, "...[A] Monty Pythonesque ramble....The kind of smart-stupid film that can put audiences in a giddy mood with visual jokes so stupendously dumb they are actually funny..."

Los Angeles Times, 08/04/1989, p.C13, "...It has a genuine sweetness rarely found even in pre-teen-oriented pix....EINSTEIN has a handsome period look..."
