Why it’s crap
A Tasmanian farm boy named Albert Einstein discovers how to split the beer atom and travels to protect his invention. Yahoo Serious treats history as raw material for an optimistic Australian fantasy. Scientific nonsense, physical jokes and odd domestic details give the film its cheerful identity.
