About this movie

From the land Down Under which brought us Crocodile Dundee and Mad Max comes Yahoo Serious, an off-beat, off-center and off-the-wall cult hero who is also the writer, producer, director and star of this unorthodox version of the early life of Albert Einstein. This Tasmanian-born, wild-haired office clerk doesn't rest at discovering the Theory of Relativity, he takes another giant leap in human thought when he invents the traditional theory of rock 'n roll by transforming his classical viola into an electric guitar. This film registered one of the biggest boxoffice opening weekends in Australian film history. The Hollywood Reporter says, "Serious sends his audience out on a wave of rock 'n roll fun."

I was 14 when this came out and I loved it from the first time I watched it. It's been awhile since the last time I watched it but that's mostly because I haven't seen it anywhere else. Now that I know it's on here I'm getting it.

I love this movie. I grew up in the late 80's and the 90's and they do not make movies like this anymore; glad to see it is still around and not forgotten like so many others from thast time.
