Catherine
Boyd is the niece of Albert Einstein.
She is traveling with her fiancé James Moreland and they have trouble
with his car. They stop at a gas
station and Catherine meets auto mechanic Ed. He instantly falls in love at first sight with
Catherine. Ed meets Einstein and
they like each other too. Einstein and
his friends, Nathan, Kurt and Boris scheme to get Catherine to realize that
James is a jerk and Ed is the guy for her. They go a little bit overboard on this project!
A
young Meg Ryan and Tim Robbins.
Catherine doesn’t trust her brain, she cannot possibly be as smart as
her uncle so she’s not smart enough.
She needs to marry a genius like James in order to have children that
will be a match for Einstein. They
could be genius children but they could also be mediocre jerk children? Genes have a way of going astray from
what parents want!! Entertaining
but very lightweight considering the subject matter of cold fusion? 2 ½* (This movie is so-so)
