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.

The words: stupid, boring, senseless, and unfunny come to mind.I can find something positive to say about most movies, but this is the only movie I've ever walked out of in my 43 years of life.The problem is primarily with the script, but having Yahoo Serious telegraphing every (questionable) punchline doesn't help. Essentially, the entire movie revolves around this nut-bag splitting the beer atom. Assuming you can suspend belief in the periodic table, the entire script doggedly revolves around the impossible premise, which does nothing to enhance the unlikely and inane adventures of the thoroughly unlikable, obviously-deficient (but supposedly genius) slacker, Yahoo Serious, as he attempts to patent the discovery.If your IQ is higher than 50, do NOT see this movie.

This was one of the first movies I ever saw at the cinema and I loved it. Yahoo Serious comes from the same suburb as me here in Newcastle, and this is one of his best roles. Plenty of slapstick and one-liners, it is a light and amusing film that suits any age.There's plenty of appearances from aussie personalities, ranging from musicians to comedians, as well as lots of local landmarks around newcastle and sydney. Keep an eye out for the "cat pie", a delicacy in the mental asylum in which the main character is placed.Beware: the movie is quite 'aussie', Brits and Yanks may have a hard time with some of it ;)

I have to say that this movie is as comedic as they come. I mean every time I watch this movie I always have a smile on my face. And every scene is just funny as hell. I love this movie. But there are some people that will disagree with me. But I still recommend this movie. This movie was conceived by Yahoo Serious (who plays Albert Einstein and also directed and wrote the movie). This is his best invention of all. He could come up with a million good ideas, but he could never surpass this hilarious movie. So, see this movie (if you can find it).
