Midvale College is in fear of losing its college football team. The players have grades lower than the norm. Judge Holmesby, the team's biggest fan, is at a loss for what to do. Enter Merlin Jones, a bright college student, and his nephew Stanley, an intelligent chimpanzee. The judge wants Merlin to create an "honest way to cheat".

This saves the college football program from being banished, but not for long...the college is tempted to receive a $1 million dollar check from a Mr. Astorbilt. The catch is though the college must get rid of football. Judge Holmesby finds Darius Green III, who will pay $10 million dollars to the college if they can get a man to fly under his own power. The task is in Merlin's hands again. Can Merlin win the day and save the football team?

Movie Reviews

User Review - 10/10 by Rachael SAnnette Funicello. Title song sung by Annette and The Beach Boys.
User Review - 8/10 by Sanford RThis sequel was pretty ridiculous, but I thought it was very entertaining anyways.
User Review - 8/10 by Adam RTommy Kirk and Annette Funicello are back with more Disney fun in a sequel that picks up right where The Misadventures of Merlin Jones left off. Annette sings the title song with the Beach Boys! It will please classic Disney enthusiasts. (First viewing - 1/29/2010)
User Review - 8/10 by Nathan EA much better film that the first - more than likely because that, while it is divided into two "adventures" like the first film, there is an overarching "spine" that bonds the two together (the rivalry between the judge and his fellow board member). Director Robert Stevenson returns, and thankfully keeps the light and funny style of the first film. There is always a thought with sequels to tweak the characters' looks and personalities just because it's a new film. Good directors and producers keep what works and just improve on it. Tommy Kirk is as charming as always, and Annette is plucky, pretty, and a joy to watch. Much like the Beach Party films, this movie is an excellent 1960s slice of life, feel good story.
User Review - 6/10 by Andy GIt was ok, mainly because I get a kick out of chimps. As an aside, this was Tommy Kirk's last Disney movie.
User Review - 4/10 by John DStandard Disney fare has Tommy Kirk, Annette Funicello, and a chimp involved in a series of zany predicaments, all incredibly far-fetched. I happen to love this kind of thing, but I'm willing to admit that this one is pretty lousy. The most surreal moment: the Beach Boys joining Annette to sing the catchy title song.
User Review - 2/10 by Todd AThere is a monkey in it.....but that's not where the monkey business is coming from.
User Review - 2/10 by Steve S*1/2 (out of four) The sequel to The Misadventures of Merlin Jones is an episodic mess that seems more like two or three sitcoms episodes thrown together into a full legnth film. Tommy Kirk is back as the smartest kid at Midvale College. This time he is chosen by one of the regents to find a way to help the football players to pass their classes so they can play. The academic minded people are portrayed as the villains here because they feel that the classroom is more important than touchdowns. This boring gagfest is lame even for Disney standards of the time. There are missed opportunities throughout. The film's very best moment happens at the very start when Annette Funicello performs with the Beach Boys in front of classmates. It is downhill from there.
User Review - 2/10 by Curtis HAlright 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.
