DVD Synopsis

Legendary scientist Albert Einstein (played here by Walter Matthau) takes a break from theoretical physics to try to set up his intellectual niece with a handsome auto mechanic in this romantic comedy. The movie's central conceit is that Einstein's brilliance extends to matters of the heart, allowing him to immediately sense that Ed Walters (Tim Robbins), a bright, lower-class mechanic obsessed with Popular Science Magazine, would be perfect for his niece Catherine (Meg Ryan). Unfortunately, Catherine is already engaged to a stiff Princeton man. In order to defeat Catherine's resistance, Uncle Albert decides to help Ed pretend to be a revolutionary scientist, a charade that inevitably leads to much farcical confusion. Einstein's scientist pals are portrayed as a Greek chorus of Catskills-style kibitzers, featuring such notable perfomers as Lou Jacobi as Kurt Godel and director Gene Saks as Boris Podolsky. ~ Judd Blaise, All Movie Guide

Just a cute romantic comedy. Matthau and his buddies make this a worthwhile movie.

I love this movie, it's sweet and funny and intelligent. A little side note, I use to live in Hopewell New Jersey & the gas station Tim Robbins works at in the film, is still there and still looking old fashioned. The road Tim rides on, to show Albert the joy of motorcycles, was the road I took to work every day. This made me feel even more connected to the movie.
