Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The movie runs out of -- excuse me again -- energy in the late going, and the invention of the humor is uneven. But Serious plays the title role with charm and lightness. His wild red hair makes Don King's look like a crewcut.

rotten:
Considering the pre-opening buildup this film has had, it could turn out to be a bigger bomb than the one Einstein's theory anticipated.

The next Serious movie could well be something special.

It has the charm and advantage of a genuine visual style of its own, both laconic and witty, as well as a likably dopey plot and cast of characters.

Einstein has a handsome period look, even when director of photography Jeff Darling is shooting the musical montages that periodically break up the action.
