March 17, 2012Good photography and a few interesting moments doesn't make Young Einstein a nice picture to watch.

July 15, 2007This movie was hyped in 1988 more than "Jason Goes to Manhattan" ever was!
Yahoo Serious was a quirky Australian comic akin to Pee-Wee Hermann and Napoleon Dynamite. I wonder if he inspired Yahoo.com??
Regardless, he appears in a quiet little comedy about his exploits and i... read more -
December 11, 2006Different to believe, Einstein invented not only relativity, but also the electric guitar and surfing, splitting the atom in his spare time.

April 14, 2010The most fun movie I've watched in years. Kinda like Bill & Ted meet Bill Nighe. I really just wanted to say that cause it sounded cool.

May 19, 2010The funniest thing about this movie is that I was somehow able to convince my parents to pay money so that I could watch it.

March 23, 2010This is one of those movies where you just want to scream at the people in Hollywood!!! Thanks for the CRAP!!!

December 29, 2008Wonderful movie. Great subtle humor throughout.
I watched this movie repeatedly as a child and at 24 still haven't grown tired. -
March 30, 2008This is a poor man's Forrest Gump! No, for real! This idiot goes around and creates and does things and although perhaps he's just as naive as Forrest, at least he's smarter & less retarded.
Tho,.. sort of retarded! What do you expect from an actor who's name is "Yahoo Serious"? -
February 25, 2008Mostly retarded, but most of his reasoning was sound at least. I'll admit I almost couldn't stand it when the cook was putting the kittens in the pie. It was like this terrible blended feeling of love for the cute kittens, and horror that they're being put in the pie. I don't kno... read more

John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
...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. Full Review

Luke Y. Thompson, New Times
Funny, though not hilarious. Too bad it launched a lackluster career on the part of Mr. Serious.

Too strange to dislike
