The life of legendary scientist Albert Einstein is re-imagined as a slapstick farce in this comic fantasy. Changing Einstein's country of origin from Germany to Tasmania, the film shows the scientist's eventful youth as he creates rock & roll and discovers the secret of splitting the beer atom. Director and star Yahoo Serious loads the film with slapstick comedy, absurd sight gags, and even sneaks in a romantic subplot in which Einstein courts Marie Curie. The film was a huge hit in its native Australia but a major box-office disappointment in the United States, where audiences largely ignored the display of nonstop silliness. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

    A comedy way out of left field. The sheer weirdness of it will leave you in stitches and the delivery by the actors should entertain people from the ages of 6 to 27

    Yes   |   No

    Light hearted and entertaining if you have any interest in science at all. Sort of a 'make fun of history and science' spoof, that does NOT go way overboard, and fortunately is NOT so simple that you get bored watching. Bottom line: worth renting

    Yes   |   No

    I love Australia and Australian films which always adds a bonus star to the score, but this film fell way short. The only really funny part is the tasmanian devil puppet at the beginning of the film. Also the scenes of young einstein walking across Australia, some nice scenery. Other than that, with a few other minor laughs, the film is tedious, almost painful to sit though. The whole story is as contrived as it could be, nor realistic. Actually the story is patently absurd. While I give Yahoo credit for writing and making this film under a lot of hardships, it's a stinker.
