Young Einstein

Always enjoy watching this movie!

Good Aussie movie

This movie is in no way to be taken seriously nor as factual. It is a hilarious adventure filled with famous scientists in fictional situations. Splitting Atoms merely to put bubbles into beer? Making a theory about musical beats from watching hopscotch? Tasmanian devils on Apple farms? You never know what you will see.

I found "Young Einstein" to be so, so so side-splittingly funny, I almost died laughing. More so, because my wife is an astrophysicist.I think that this movie should be required viewing for all physicists.The scene with the cats in the pie is possibly the #1 or #2 absolute funniest scene in all of movie history, way up there with the best of the Marx Bros, Monty Python, early Woody Allen, Charlie Chaplin, etc.The fantastic romance of young Einstein and young Marie Curie is one of the most memorable screen romances, up there with Bogie and Katherine Hepburn, Lara and Dr. Zhivago, Cleopatra and Antony, Stella and Stanley, Howard Stern and his wife, Linda Hamilton & the Terminator #2, even the one with Meg Ryan as Einstein's (Walter Matthau) daughter ...Who cares if none of it ever happened in the real world? I'm sure that the real Albert would have fallen off his chair from laughing so hard, if he'd been alive to see this take on his fame and discoveries.

Influenced by the reviewer who said this was a great physics movie, I watched this film again for the first time since I saw it and did not like it back in 1989. Now, however, I see this film as the other reviewer said as a deeply felt and keen criticism of how governments co-opt physics and other sciences to create WMD's, the pinnacle of which is a Nuclear Bomb. The plot goes something like this, instead of being a German Jew, Albert Einstein is a bushmen apple farmer on Tasmania (complete with a Tasmania Devil) who, refusing to dam a valley, is given the task of creating bubbles in beer but his father. Albert does so with correct physics, and created E=MC2, or Emca, as they say. And he goes to Australia to get a patent for his discovery. There he meet young Marie Curie, already a winner of the Nobel Prize. Fun, physical spouting prostitutes, and many kangaroos later, Young Einstein and Marie save the day. Full of antipodean in-jokes, this might fall flat for some, as it did initially for me. But time has a way of changing some opinions, and if I thought Yahoo Serious was ridiculous back in the day, I don't know. Should the unlikely occur, and I become a Physics teacher, I would definitely show my students this film.

Yahoo Serious is a delight in Young Einstein. With great music and a strong cast, this movie will make you laugh guaranteed.

This movie is campy and funny. I’ve loved it since I was a kid. I’m so glad I found it at a good price. And it came extremely quick. Very happy with this purchase.

Dumber than I remember but great for nostalgia.
