Plot: The life of legendary scientist Albert Einstein is re-imagined as a slapstick farce in this comic fantasy. Changing Einstein's country of origin from Germany to Tasmania, the film shows the scientist's eventful youth as he creates rock & roll and discovers the secret of splitting the beer atom. Director and star Yahoo Serious loads the film with slapstick comedy, absurd sight gags, and even sneaks in a romantic subplot in which Einstein courts Marie Curie. The film was a huge hit in its native Australia but a major box-office disappointment in the United States, where audiences largely ignored the display of nonstop silliness. ~ Judd Blaise, All Movie Guide

Classic comedy from my childhood
Added 11/11/2008

There were no surprises on this DVD for me, as I've seen this movie more times than I could possibly count. It sits on the rack with other classics, such as Better Off Dead and Johnny Dangerously.

Wonderful classic comedy - My wife had never seen it as a kid and she now loves this movie.

An excellent funny movie. There are some fairdinkum science references,some Newton's not Einstein's. The score features some good pub bands of the eithies.
You have to take the whole premus of the film with a grain of salt. If you do you'll get a laugh and some relaxation.
By the way, it's ajoke about Tasmania being an island off the coast of Australia. Well it is,but it is large and a state of Australia. And the scenes of it are actually the Blue Mountains about 100km west of Sydney, I live there.

Great Little Film Pity No Extras
Added 5/28/2008

I loved this film when it came out in the 1980s and now that it is on DVD I have been able to relive it. It's still a great, strange little film that I hold with great affection. It's a pity though that there were no extras included.
