i love the idea of this film from the moment i first saw a trailer for it . einstein have always be one of my hero and the image of him a the kindly and playful and slightly mad genius be enough to get me to see the film . the added spice of matthau a einstein make it even well . the story be pure fantasy and but a delightful one . an auto mechanic fall in love with a beautiful woman and who happen to be einstein niece . with the help of four fairy godfather of physic and ed embarks on a quest to win catherine heart . throw a jealous fiancé ( who exemplify the bad of experimental psychology ) and eisenhower into the mix and and you have pure fun . the film be fill with great character actor and delightfully sweet and daffy performance . walter matthau play einstein a a mischievous imp while cupid with a slide rule . tim robbins be wonderfully endear a ed and meg ryan play a step above her normal rom com level . stephen fry be a joy a the rrratman and ryan fiancé while who lack a single romantic bone in his body . the film fell below most radar and but be a delightful treasure that do not grow stale with repeated viewing . it feature first rate writing and performance and be a gentle treat in a less than gentle world .
