IQ - Love is Relative is an American romantic comedy film from 1994 with Walter Matthau , who as Albert Einstein wants to set up his niece, played by Meg Ryan , with an auto mechanic.

action

Mathematician Catherine Boyd is in the middle of wedding preparations with her fiancé James Morland when she runs into auto mechanic Ed Walters. Ed, an illiterate but intelligent man, falls head over heels in love with Catherine. In Catherine's uncle Albert Einstein he finds an ally who sees through his niece's common sense relationship with James and wants to help her accept Ed as the man of her heart.

Einstein therefore helps Ed impersonate a scientist, so that Catherine would even allow herself to admit her feelings. For this purpose, Ed is allowed to publicize a spectacular, unpublished theory of Einstein's nuclear fusion as his own and thus becomes a celebrity. Catherine falls in love with Ed and separates from James, who tries to expose his rival as a con man, but Einstein and his friends initially prevent this. Eventually Catherine finds mathematical proof that refutes the theory - which her uncle never succeeded in doing. This strengthens their self-confidence; but at the same time she is hurt because she feels betrayed by Ed.

When James, who has meanwhile learned that the theory came from Einstein, wants to present him and Ed in public, Einstein is able to convince the public that it was a ploy to convict the Soviet Union of fraud.

In the end, Ed and Catherine become a couple for good.

Reviews

“An amusing, consistently well-acted romantic comedy. It is true that situations and jokes are repeated too often in the long run, so that there is sometimes an idle state, but the relaxed, relaxed atmosphere of the film covers up some shallows in a sympathetic way. "
