Alle Welt kennt das Wissenschafts-Genie Albert Einstein. Aber was ist mit dem Verkuppler Einstein? Walter Matthau ist in einer seiner schönsten Rollen zu sehen. Der berühmte Physiker muss ein besonders ärgerliches Problem lösen: Wie kann er seine temperamentvolle Nichte Catherine (Meg Ryan) von ihrem steifen englischen Verlobten weglocken, direkt in die Arme ihres perfekten Gegenpols: in die eines liebenswert-gutmütigen Automechanikers (Tim Robbins). Es kostet den Professor seinen ganzen Verstand und Listigkeit, den ölverschmierten Kerl in einen Ritter in glänzender Rüstung zu verwandeln. Doch unterschätze niemals den Verstand von Onkel Albert, oder die Macht der Liebe. (Paramount Pictures Germany)

It’s been a long time since I’ve been intrigued by an old movie with a good Czech dubbing that I haven’t heard of before. But to dare to make a fictional script out of Albert Einstein’s life and make it into a romantic comedy, that must have taken some balls! Walter Matthau and his group of professors were amazing, and it was a joy to watch them think of clever ploys to befriend Tim Robbins and Meg Ryan. There was an abundance of useless and even cringy scenes for a romantic comedy, as per usual, but on the other hand, I had been laughing since the beginning till the very end.

I don’t know what Einstein would say, but it is a fairly entertaining film. And the rom-com specialist Meg Rain is a sure bet that never disappoints.

Meg Ryan's sweet face remains a reliable prototype for the romantic heroine, Robbins's likeable performance is a long-standing 90s ornament, and Walter Matthau's vital Einstein perfectly embodies the endearingness and wit with which Americans are able to portray any historical figure, however quirky. The result is nothing great and at times it even smells of wasted potential, but just for the original idea, smart humour (so beautifully mocking all intellectuals) and flawless casting I'm not going to go below 70%. After all, I don't even have a good reason for it...
