A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

In the turn of the century Australia, Albert Einstein (Yahoo Serious) grows up on a Tasmanian apple farm. Despite his family background, he is not good at apple farming. He comes up with his Newtonian theories but his father dismisses him. His dad is in the family lab researching a way to put bubbles into beer. Albert solves it by splitting the beer atom. On the train to Sydney to patent his discovery, he meets the arrogant Preston Preston and the brilliant Marie Curie.Yahoo Serious was a thing once upon a time. He was supposed to be the great comedic star from Down Under. This is a limited and unsophisticated humor piece that seems to be written by kids with a science book. It's a script written by inexperienced kids for their school in front of all the parents. It's basically one joke and it isn't that funny. Yahoo Serious may be funnier in a sincere real world. The whole world is off-center which takes away from the tension between him and everybody else. I don't think I laughed once although there is an initial charm about its innocent cluelessness. That quickly fades when one realizes that there isn't anything else. Maybe this is funny to Aussies after some Fosters.

This movie has plenty to go on: comedy, action, and music. I know the plot was well made, but the actor who played Einstein? I had a hard time stomaching it. Yahoo Serious? Is THAT a name? It seems to be. Seeems like he's the one who's got more attention in the U.S. than any other Australian actors around. Except, Olivia Newton-John, that is. Yes, Eistein discovered relativity, but rock and roll? All I can say is "Genius, pure genius!" Being put in a "nuthouse" was more harm than good when they were worse than the loonies there. Cat pie? Maybe ALF would like that. That place should have been put out of business and the people be put in their places. When the inevitable occurred, it was up to Einstein to fix it with his wacky invention. It nearly killed him, but luck was on his side! I think at the end Einstein should start a rock 'n roll group called "The IQs. Rock on Einstein! Rating 2.5 out of 5 stars.

This film is wacky and zany but just isn't funny. I yawned and cringed my way through it. It truly is the worst film that I have ever seen.I went to see it at the cinema on the strength of the trailer and persuaded my cousin that it looked better than "Dead Poets Society" which was also showing. That was my crime, it was also my punishment. My cousin still complains about it today.

Funnily enough, at the end of term our Science teacher brought this into our class to watch for a treat. I don't care particularly about the history-boggling, what pained me most was the insipid plot, the excruciatingly acting and Yahoo Serious generally jumping about and frightening small children. He certainly has a scary face.The soundtrack, however, was excellent, and I was pleased to see Flacco and The Sandman (unfortunately their real names escape me) making a welcome appearance, with Sandman's monotonous tones bringing at least a smile to my lips. But that aside, this movie was an abomination, Yahoo Serious is really terrifying, and it's no wonder he isn't making films anymore, considering the critique he received on all three.
