Say what you will about Walt Disney's silly suburban comedies of the 1960s, they at least LOOKED good. Walt always ensured a decent production and usually threw in some nifty visual effects for the fun of it. The exception is "The Monkey's Uncle". After a spunky start with Annette Funicello singing on-stage with The Beach Boys, this movie settles into Sitcom-ville with tired results. Worse, it looks terrible, with flimsy walls that are supposed to pass as sets and terrible use of color photography. Rarely have I seen a movie that looked so bad, with lots of yellow meringue and pea-green curtains and costumes. Having enjoyed "The Misadventures Of Merlin Jones" for what it was, I expected Disney to up the fun-quotient with this sequel, but it's a real snooze. *1/2 from ****
