Never Seen This

In the summer of 1989, you had a number of huge hits such as Batman and Honey I Shrunk the Kids. The trailer of this movie was shown before those movies and other big hits as if Yahoo Serious was a superstar and this would be a movie people would be flocking to. But it barely lasted 2 weeks in theaters and the average American moviegoer obviously didn't get the Aussie humor. So is the movie worth your time?

Watching it right now. As a kid I didn’t get the parody of Einstein’s life and theories but now I do, it’s kind of funny. The movie is a series of gags, weaves into a storyline. But comedy is personal tastes. I find it enjoyable with a few good laughs.
