| House Next DoorOdie HendersonSerious's most distinguishing feature is his unruly hair, which serves as both a reminder of Einstein's own unkempt mane and the endless series of '80s-era stand-up comedians memorable only for their wacky hairdos. |
| Philadelphia InquirerDesmond RyanThe 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. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrThe next Serious movie could well be something special. |
| Los Angeles TimesChris WillmanEinstein has a handsome period look, even when director of photography Jeff Darling is shooting the musical montages that periodically break up the action. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfA five-minute idea stretched bloodily over 90 minutes of dead air. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzPleasingly cartoonish as physical comedy. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonYoung Einstein is good-natured and harmless, but it's not very funny. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonCertainly, Einstein has some funny moments. |
| MovieholeClint MorrisAn animated, and clever cocktail of laughs and rock and roll |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumIt 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. |
