Review of The Monkey's Uncle (1965) by Curtis H — 21 Jan 2009
Alright try to follow me here. Tommy Kirk, Annette Funicello, college students and steadies (kinda sickening already); Kirk is Merlin Jones, a complete Wiz kid who decides to adopt a chimp, silly goofy fun so far right? Merlin is also, accused of cheating in school, obviously googoo eyed over his chimp's baby sitter visibly in front of Annette (how stupid can a guy get), and working on a contraption that will allow for self propelled human flight.
Not only that but he discovers the miraculous "sleep learning" technique where complete idiot football players can be geniouses by hearing their notes played on a tape recorder in their sleep.
Still following me? I didn't think so, the moral of the story is I tried sleep learning, my ear-phones were broken the next morning, and I knew nothing about "Flowers for Algernon" the next morning, but I got more out of that than I did this movie.
