This is one of the most enjoyable romps I have ever seen. An excellent and difficult production, bolstered by a great performance by Yahoo Serious. I have watched this move many times and never tire of it. It is always fresh, alive and funny. What is most heart-warming about the film is that Mr. Einstein never really puts his goal ahead of the present moment, which he always lives to the maximum. Serious's unassuming naivety in matters of deception or mundane issues makes his character all the more likable, and at the end, when he grounds and defuses a nuclear reactor by means of a home-made electric guitar, there-by saving the world, we are all cheering for him. One of the best and most eccentric comedies ever. It will appeal to the "otherworldly" people, the world-over.

I saw this the first time at the theatre on a cheap Tuesday showing - it had received attention from national media for being a romp. I knew what I was getting with this, as did the rest of the audience, and we got good enjoyment from all of the jokes. Honestly, about half the time I go to the Yahoo! website, after nearly 20 years of seeing this movie, I think of it because of the name of the instigator. And I still think positively of it.I left the theatre and went to my local pub before heading home, and the bartender poured me my usual. I looked at the glass and just broke out laughing, watching the beer atoms splitting in the glass.I rented the movie a few years later and watched it at home. It wasn't as good, but that was probably because I was alone. Pity. I want to share it with my fianceé, however, as she is from the Czech Republic, where Einstein taught for a while and a land that takes its beer very seriously.

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.

Albert Einstein, a Tasmanian who splits the beer atom?Yes, it's a silly film, but it's also fun throughout and worth seeing for many of the inventions and the in jokes. The mad scientists ward at the lunatic asylum particularly!Fun and games, and worth a look.
