Yahoo Serious, What a guy..... Actor, Writer, Director, Producer, Stuntman, Composer.....This movie came out when i was 7 years old, it was my favourite movie then, and It's my favourite movie now. I can probably say I've watched this movie more than a hundred times and it gets better every time.
A zany, silly, funny take on a Tasmanian Einstein with a nice little love story thrown in for good measure. Oh, and there's beer, atomic bombs and electric violins too, so that's a bonus.

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.

A question was asked to a sophomore history class at a local high school in Massachusetts. The question was simple. Where was Albert Einstein born? Out of a class of 45 students, 45 answered Australia. The reason? All saw the movie Young Einstein and assumed since he was portrayed as a farmer growing up in Tazmania, that the young Albert Einstein was as an Australian. Each student was wrong since Einstein was born and grew up in and around Germany. In fact, I don't think Einstein ever stepped foot on Australian land let alone grew up in the country. Just like this little known (maybe unknown) fact about Einstein, the movie Young Einstein is nothing more than laughable. Factual, not exactly. Funny, absolutely!

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.
