Australian comedian (and producer, filmmaker, editor, screenwriter, stunt person and songsmith) Yahoo Serious does everything and more in this spoof on the early life of 20th- century genius Albert Einstein. Transported from Europe to the Australian island of Tasmania, the young scientist-to-be is first encountered on his parents' apple farm where he discovers the Law of Relativity while attempting to brew up a batch of homemade beer. Einstein goes on to accidentally invent the atomic bomb and -- more importantly -- the electric guitar which leads, of course, to his discovery of rock 'n' roll. And, in the midst of it all, he still finds time to romance Marie Curie. [More]

    An animated, and clever cocktail of laughs and rock and roll

    Lots of energy; very few laughs.

    ...with no depth to the main character and little that's really funny to commend its script, Young Einstein falls as flat as old dad's beer.

    Funny, though not hilarious. Too bad it launched a lackluster career on the part of Mr. Serious.
