Young Einstein (1989)

Waste of time

Best movie ever!

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

I love this movie. Its just wonderful. I base my life on it. *sigh* Rockn' Roll MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Give Me Some More ROCK'N ROLL MUSIC! OH YEAH! ROCKN' ROLL MUSIC!!!!!!! APPLES, HILA MONSTERS, GUTARS, ELECTRICELFIED VIOLINES! Weird HAIR CUTS, KANGAROOS, TASMANIAN TIGERS, AUSTRAILA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Good-nest do you think its long enough? all i wanted to say was that it was a great film. They don't like caps, they don't like exclamation points, everything has to be spelled right. I have the right to say what i want and not use proper English, ain't i right? So whats the weather like on planet Pluto?

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.

Funnily enough, at the end of term our Science teacher brought this into our class to watch for a treat. I don't care particularly about the history-boggling, what pained me most was the insipid plot, the excruciatingly acting and Yahoo Serious generally jumping about and frightening small children. He certainly has a scary face.The soundtrack, however, was excellent, and I was pleased to see Flacco and The Sandman (unfortunately their real names escape me) making a welcome appearance, with Sandman's monotonous tones bringing at least a smile to my lips. But that aside, this movie was an abomination, Yahoo Serious is really terrifying, and it's no wonder he isn't making films anymore, considering the critique he received on all three.

Yahoo Serious has probably become quite a bit of a joke, which is a shame because his debut effort is more entertaining than a lot of what Hollywood puts out these days. Serious plays Albert Einstein as though he were an Australian from deep in the outback. He makes his way to America to try and patent his invention and meets and falls in love with Marie Currie on the way. The movie is very offbeat but in a good way and very entertaining if you let it be. I have always loved this movie and the soundtrack is excellent for any 80s music fan. Serious went downhill with Reckless Kelly (which isn't a bad movie in and of itself) but got really bad with Mr. Accident. If you want to see a good, funny, and just entertaining film, you can't go wrong with Young Einstein unless you have completely lost the child inside you.
