To me, this movie is perfection.

A Major Disappointment

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

If your tastes run toward the perverse and twisted, this lewd retread of a squeaky clean wholesome American sit-com will have many gut laughing. I'm no prude and enjoy blue humor as much as anyone, but the writers of this film just made the blue humor creepy instead of cleaver. It was like they made scenes off color just for the sake of besmirching the memory of the albeit corny-cleanness of the original TV series. If Sherwood Schwartz hadn't protested, there probably would have been a scene suggesting Greg and his mom were entangled in an incestuous tryst. Or that Mike (dad) was cruising public restrooms for gay glory holes. A retrospective "Thank You" to Sherwood. Even when Hollywood said you were dead (getting their wires crossed when Bob "Gilligan" Denver passed), you were faithful to the things you created, and I admire that. Some things just shouldn't be sold out.

The Brady Bunch Movie is a fine tribute to the original television series and the film retains enough of the humor from the series to make the film work, despite an entire new cast. However, I liked the decision for Paramount to have some cameos from the likes of Florence Henderson and the late Ann B. Davis. The film is a bit campy at time, but it takes some getting used to. The jokes are really good, but the main joke is seeing how the Bradys react in the 1990's, and fortunately that joke did not disappoint.Betty Thomas's film has all the original characters from the television series, including my favorite: Alice the housekeeper. A scheming neighbor of the Bradys plan to take their house unless they can raise twenty thousand dollars. They discover that participating in a musical may be their only bet to keep their property.The film was not badly acted. The new actors retained enough of the characters wit to be effective. Shelley Long and Gary Cole as the parents were very good. Christine Taylor as the eldest daughter, Marcia is also very good and beautiful! Michael McKean is effective as the scheming neighbor. Finally, Henriette Mantel as Alice actually reminded me of Ann B. Davis's Alice very much so.Overall, The Brady Bunch Movie is an effective comedy and a successful reboot showing a new generation the wonders of the Brady family. The movie often movies into slapstick territory and relies on physical comedy perhaps a bit too much, but that doesn't hurt the film too much. Nothing beats the original Brady family, but this Brady family was very good and quite funny. This is the story of how 1970 met 1995 to pretty funny results. I rate this film 9/10.

I managed to catch this movie on TV and decided to stick with it because there was nothing else to watch at that time. Based on the classic TV series, Mike Brady and his wife Carol have one week to come up with $20,000 in back taxes or their house is sold to their scheming neighbor, Larry Dittmeyer.This is a PG-13 version of the family show; it still contains much cheery and carefree elements that render the movie annoying some times, but it isn't totally a waste of time as I've found that plot of the Brady kids helping to raise money to save their family's home to be pretty entertaining. The acting wasn't bad and it was interesting that the movie pays tribute to 60s/70s icons like the Partridge Family and Davey Jones, and well as appearances by some of the original Brady Bunch TV cast.Overall, it's not a bad film for some laughs. Fans of the TV show should enjoy it.Grade B-

i never saw any episode of the Brady's , but i enjoyed this spoof of 70's righteous family living in modern mid nineties, not so glamorous, period. i specially like the funny as always Shelly long of course as the mother, and amazing babe Christine Taylor playing Marcia. but for me the movie really started to pick up from the moment (49 min) Davy Jones give an exceptional performance of his 70's Brady's hit 'girl' while Marcia Brady 70's character drive an entire 90's grunge crowed to dance to is song, and the schoolteachers are gathering around him. so to sum it up - great fun movie , and the sequel was also as good. Christine Taylor will probably will always be remembered for this role.
