Young Einstein is a 1988 Australian comedy film written, produced, directed by and starring Yahoo Serious. It is a fantasized account of the life of Albert Einstein which alters all people, places and circumstances of his life, including relocating the theoretical physicist to Australia, having him splitting the atom with a chisel, and inventing rock and roll and surfing.
Although highly successful in Australia, and winning an award from the Australian Film Institute Awards, it was poorly received by critics in the United States.
At the APRA Music Awards of 1990, the soundtrack won Most Performed Australasian Work for Film.[2]
