Young Einstein (1989)

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Do not watch for a history lesson only watch it with cream and salt forget about Einstein and his real history and who he was and just watch it with no preconceived notion's You will laugh so hard it is a grate movie it is good lighthearted humor nice romance just know historical value or scientific value whatsoever it is funny and was made 30 years ago so it is grate for the time in the Visuals and it was all done by one person Ritalin directed produced and stored by the same young man so you got to give him credit watch it its better than anything done nowadays

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.

Instead of reading my review, you're actually probably best off reading the reviews for those that rated this movie positively, as you'll note that your head will hurt trying to read them. That's what watching this movie does to you, it makes you write like them.Young Einstein is a moronic mix of 80s clichés and the kind of dumb, low brow humor that makes Dumb & Dumber and Billy Madison look like Royal Tenenbaums.I love myself some dumb humor, I can even laugh at some films that most people bash for being extraordinarily stupid like the aforementioned Billy Madison, but this... just no. The jokes are unoriginal, unfunny, and moronic, the characters all behave like complete idiots, and there's really no plot. It's just an excuse for a bunch of terrible puns and poorly done slapstick.Please, avoid this film, a mind is a terrible thing to waste. There's much less harmful things for your brain out there. Even huffing the paint used for the DVD-cover and case is probably better for your brain cells than watching this.

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.
