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 popular Australian soap opera provides the basis of this melodrama. No. 96 is the name of an apartment building. In each flat there is a story, these stories, like neighbors, are soon intertwined into a tangled skein emotion, intrigue, betrayal, and lust. Fortunately everything is all straightened out at the end. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
