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.

I almost refuse to believe that there was no connection whatsoever with any of the membership of Monty Python's Flying Circus. Since I purchased the VHS version at a sale, without any previous knowledge of its content, I have remembered how to roll on the floor with uncontrollable laughter, as I had not done for so many years of humor depredation. Splitting the "beer atom" on an anvil with hammer and chisel causes just such a reaction. The kitty pie scene is another of my favorites that evokes the memory of Monty Python style of humor. And the lizard that roars is enough to make milk come out my nose. Also, there are innumerable background elements that are nearly impossible to notice, let alone appreciate fully, on the first viewing. Multiple viewings are required and highly recommended. Pay close attention to every detail, as there is absolutely nothing in the background that is truly insignificant. This movie is simply drenched with cleverly written and acted subtle comedy that is all-too-often not noticed by the average viewer. The soundtrack is especially highlighted by the music of the Australian "Goanna" band, with the very appropriate cut Great Southern Land. I had already owned that original album since 1983, and instantly recognized the song when I first saw "Young Einstein" only recently.I highly recommend this movie to all TRUE Monty Python fans.

Others have condemned this film as codswallop. If you're one for historical fact, you shouldn't watch it. That doesn't make it a bad film, however. It's one of those films that just to be silly. Albert Einstein is a Tasmanian apple farmer who surfs, E=mc2 is pronounced "Emck" and is used to put the bubbles in beer, and the chef at the mental assylum puts live kittens in a pie (Don't worry, Albert saves them). It's a good movie for watching during a pajama party. The director may be Yahoo Serious, but this movie is anything but.

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).
