Too much of everything

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

This film was rushed into production in 1988. Hollywood was in the middle of a writers strike. This script however was already completed and ready to shoot. In fact the script was around for 5 years before CBS picked it up. Upon viewing the film you can fully understand why it wasn't made. 5 years earlier. "Its not Very Good".For fans of the show you will enjoy this reunion. However Cindy Brady Susan Olsen declined participation in this and was replaced by Jennifer Runyon and she is fine but true fans will miss Susan I know I did.In this film The entire Brady family manages to overcome personal obstacles to spend a happy holiday together. Its the first time in years that the entire family is reunited. Each Brady Child is going through something and has reservation about the reunion. I think this reunion film was okay but the final few minutes are worse then a visit from cousin Oliver. There is a scene where Mike Brady is in danger on the family starts "Singing".Listen I loved "The Brady Bunch". I just did not like this film.

This movie was mega crap. The writers should be fired, flogged, and thrown into a lake ... and the actors should be tossed in after them. This movie seriously lacked in the intelligence category, but sure made up for it in the suckiness category. The way the (vey elderly) parents acted toward each other from the beginning of the movie, scared the heck out of me! they were gross, awkward, and flat out cheesy, not to mention disgusting. The way they were oblivious to the problems of their children, that seem to slap them in the face was incredibly unrealistic. There was a lot of singing in this movie too ... a heck of a lot. It was awkward as crap, and made you want to either throw all the actors off of a cliff, or toss yourself off of one. Peter wore the scariest onesy ever, to bed one night ... it was like watching your mother get her face ripped off by a zombie. Then, what's with Peter not having the guts to ask his hot girlfriend to marry him?? They end up asking each other on the count of 3 ... cut my neck off. And Cindy's problem was that she is the youngest......... like really??? She's supposed to be graduating college and she still hasn't gotten over that fact that she is the youngest? Geez grow the crap up! And Greg's stupid self looked like Mario with a lab coat. The way he made out with his wife in his office made me seriously consider rinsing with Listerine for the next hour and a half. And don't even get me started on Marcia's husband........ what a turd muncher!! He talked in this whiny voice and was always crying like a little girl about some stupid toy factory that was barely explained by these sorry excuse for screenplay writers! Every one of these pathetic "adults'" problems were summed up in a matter of seconds..... no really they were summed up in SECONDS........ which makes us all wonder....... why the freak did it take the whole movie to actually fix them? FINALLY, the movie ends with Mr. Brady having to go save 2 people from a crashing building. Why on earth an ancient architect would be more valuable than a seasoned firefighter squad will never be known, in this world or the next. He runs in to save them, only to get trapped himself like the douche bag he is. So instead of calling another architect, OR THE FREAKING POLICE FORCE! Everyone basically sits around for about 8 hours outside the building, hoping that SuperMike will pull himself out of the hole he's gotten in. After about 7 hours and 55 minutes, they all decide to sing a Christmas carol in celebration of his demise. Unfortunately, out comes Mr. Brady without a single scratch to spoil their high hopes of his death. Then, the movies ends with Sam the Butcher coming back to Alice after cheating on her. He makes an 8 second apology, and all is well that ends well. This movie is just the worst. on a scale of 1 to 10 this is a -18738479324794! If this movie doesn't send you to the Happy Farm, it'll leave you cutting your wrists or sending a bullet through your face. Thank the Good Lord that this sorry "film" (and I use that word loosely) didn't drag on longer than an hour and a half.

This is just awful crap, and it's a testament to the last 30 years of the decline in American artistic taste that people have actually written in to say how much they like it and want to buy it on DVD. God, this thing is dripping in so much schmaltz and rotten jokes it defies the law of averages. But the awful writing is outpaced by the acting. Leading the pack is Jerry Houser, who just might be the worst actor God ever put on the face of the earth. He's simply execrable. His performance makes my teeth grind involuntarily. Or how about when Alice returns and says that her butcher hubby Sam left her for another woman, and it happened after he volunteered to "come over and check her rump roast." Ye Gods!! The usual awful Brady stuff is in place, and Cindy Olsen dodged a huge bullet with this one. Somebody posted a comment that she wasn't in the show because she was getting married in real life. I thought it was because they wouldn't offer her enough money. I'm sure if she'd wanted to be in this terrible film, they would have adjusted the schedule ever so slightly if she was getting hitched. Maybe Cindy wanted more money, but a million dollars wouldn't have been enough to warrant doing it. The guy playing Jan's husband is a real loser too. And how about the scene when Dr. Greg Brady and his nurse-wife go all gooey on each other, making stupid medical (bad) double entendres. I think you can see Robert Reed's AIDS starting to affect him, too, which is really sad. Watching any Brady show is like watching a train wreck, and in that this made-for-TV film surely measures up. People always laughed and said the creators did it this way on purpose: well, that ain't anything to be proud of. Can we somehow destroy all the prints of this embarrassment?

Ok, someone tell me that this isn't for real? Poor Dad gets trapped in a construction accident and they still sing christmas carols without him? Some one should beat the writers of this script into a bloody pulp. I like The Brady Bunch, but this is de-grading.
