Video: Can it live up to the trailer?

[nebroadwe]

My brother pointed me at this one. I love The Onion:

It's a serious issue they raise. Anybody else remember the movie they made out of the Young Einstein trailer back in the eighties? Such a disappointment ...

Unfortunately, my work connection is slow as molasses, so I can't watch the video.

The movie wasn't bad. There was one plot twist in the movie which was a bit predictable.

If you watch it, be sure to sit through all the credits, as there is an important scene at the end of the credits.

Only one? Writers doing a better-than-average job, then (says the English major, who is rarely blindsided by movie storytelling).

Teach your grandmother -- I always sit through to the end of the credits. Even when Animal doesn't turn to the camera and say, "Go home! Go home!" there might be a list of production babies, or a note of thanks to some obscure organization, or a weird new job title ("Lunar Crane Operator") to marvel at. I'm an end-credit junkie -- just ask the Learless Feeder. :-)

I love The Onion. It's YAY! They should make a movie out of it heee... It would probably be terrible.

It would probably be terrible.

But in a very deadpan way. :-)
