Summary: A hilarious treat for Brady lovers
Review: "A Very Brady Sequel," directed by Arlene Sanford, continues the comic adventures of the recast Brady clan (headed by Shelley Long as Carol and Gary Cole as Mike). Like the preceding film, this is a campy but affectionate riff on the original "Brady Bunch" television series.

In "Sequel," a man claiming to be Roy Martin (Carol's first husband) enters the Brady's lives. It's a bizarre situation (unthinkable as a plot in the original series!), and Carol and the bunch must figure out how to deal with this challenge to their established family. Clever twists on plot points from the original series are interwoven as subplots in the film; Jan's imaginary boyfriend, for example, is a key running gag (which has a marvelous resolution, and well showcases Jennifer Elise Cox's comic appeal). Another key subplot involves an unexpected attraction between step-siblings Greg (Christopher Daniel Barnes) and Marcia (Christine Taylor); the filmmakers, I believe, keep this potentially kinky theme within the bounds of good taste.

"Sequel" continues the first film's running gag that the Bradys are stuck in a sort of 70s time warp, and are oblivious to 90s culture. Some of this "fish-out-of-water" humor is weak; the movie Bradys are at their best and funniest, I believe, when they are wholly in their own groovy element. The cast members seem really comfortable in their roles, and have a great chemistry together. As an ensemble they hit just the right balance between campiness and genuine familial affection.

Overall, "Sequel" gave me lots of smiles and chuckles, and the 70s-style costumes provided constant visual appeal. If you're a long-time Brady fan (like me!), don't miss it.

Summary: A Brady Bunch Review
Review: A Very Brady Sequel is a funny spoof of the shows premeired on television in the 70's. It features the bradys living in the 90's, but stuck in the 70's. Such as when a soliciter calls up offering the family cable service, Mr. Brady says: "So, you're saying I can connect a wire to my TV and in will come 50 channels? I don't think so, good bye." The main event of the movie is when Mrs. Brady's old husband comes back. Really, he is an imposter but the bradys do not notice. When he whisks Mrs. Brady off to Hawaii, Mr. Brady decides to teach him a lesson on kindness. This is a funny movie and good entertainment.

Summary: Just As Fun As The First
Review: A Very Brady Sequel is very funny. It's as funny and delightful as the hilarious original. An imposter, played by Tim Matheson, comes to the Brady house claiming to be Mrs. Brady's long lost husband. Huh?. It turns out he just wants the horse statue that resides in the Brady household. The end climax of this storyline take place in Hawaii. Other plots involve the mutual attraction between Greg and Marcia. It's played for laughs and it really gets them!. Again, the actors are all incredible. They bring these characters alive with incredibly accurate impressions of the original actors. Especially Gary Cole as Mr. Brady. Just like the original, there are jokes that deal with happenings in classic Brady episodes. Some of them might not make sense to those who aren't a Brady Bunch dictionary. This is a fun, entertaining little film. It's worth a look. Or two, or three, or four....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Very Brady Sequel is One of my favorite Movie

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Far out, man! Groovy flick!
Review: A Very Brady Sequel isn't exactly what I'd call Oscar material, but it's good for just a few (actually, many) laughs with your best buds. Shelley Long and Gary Cole are back as the always cheerful, let's-work-things-out-together kind of parents as Mr. and Mrs. Brady. The kids from the first movie are also back as their original characters, and so is Alice.

In this hilarious sequel, everything is just perfectly normal in the Brady household until a man comes to the house claiming to be Mrs. Brady's first husband. But secretly, he's really after a valuable horse statue in their home. Of course, the Brady gang believes him and invites him to stay for awhile. Then, when they are really starting to get to know each other, the man reveals who he really is, kidnaps Mrs. Brady, and takes her out to Hawaii where he is supposed to sell the horse statue! And of course, the rest of the Bradys go after her...

I think this is just as good as the first Brady movie. Both were pretty good. There is a smarter script to the Brady sequel, too. And Jan gets a boyfriend! Greg and Marcia also start feeling affection for each other, too. This is wicked funny and I recommend it for anybody who loved the TV series or the first movie!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Superior sequel- still hilarious
Review: From the amazing success of it's predecessor, it wasn't long before a sequel emerged. A VERY BRADY SEQUEL still proves to be hilarious if not better than the original. The sequel delves deeper into the Brady theme. Sexual tabboes are explored such as the idea that went through all our heads at one stage- is it possible for Greg and Marcia to have a relationship. The sexual tension between the two is hilarious and leaves us with a will they won't they idea which of course keeps the movie interesting. Unlike the first, the sequel introduces corny 70's expressions such as 'outta sight...neato..' which sound incredibly stupid yet funny at the same time.

Again,the plot proves to be fairly mundane yet it doesn't seem to matter. Carol's supposed ex husband returns to be re-united with her and her childred. However, what this conman really wants is a priceless horse sculpture worth a lot of money. Can the Brady's foil the imposter and stop him?
Hilarious must see film

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I can't believe there are others out there who "get" this movie! Everyone thinks my sister and I are crazy, but we watch this one and just howl-- it gets better with each viewing! There are big laughs and little things you may miss the first go-round-- like when Alice is mixing up a big bowl of meatloaf; just raw beef and lard at this stage, and along comes Mr. Brady to try to sample a swipe! She slaps his hand and says in that classic Alice way, "Mr. Brady!" Who in the world (except a Brady, maybe) would try to sneak a fingerful of raw beef-n-lard as if it were cake batter or cookie dough? Oh, may the hilarity ensue.
I think this one is WAY better than the original, which had its moments but wasn't as much fun. I don't agree with the other reviewers on the last scene, though; I found Barbara Eden's cameo annoying. Clever I guess, but still annoying-- though, yes, she looks darned good for her age.
Also, skip the tv movie where Mr. Brady runs for president. Though the wonderful Gary Cole (delicious even in his poodle wig) and Shelley Long return, none of the kids do, and that's a crying shame. Christopher Barnes' eyebrows alone out-acted the replacements.
This go-round also has a really inspired premise, and it makes you wonder, whatever did happen to Mike and Carol's former spouses? The series may have told us, but I certainly don't remember. And this movie reminds us too that, though they blended well as a family, and though everyone took the name Brady, the kids are stepsiblings, after all.
So, for my money, there's no Brady movie anywhere (original series actors or otherwise) that can beat the spoofy fun of this sequel! Only one problem: where are the extras? Neither Brady 1 nor this sequel includes any.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointing sequel
Review: I found "A Very Brady Sequel" to be disappointing. I enjoyed the first movie better than I thought I would, and was excited when I heard they were making another. This movie is sillier than the first, and the script appears to have been written in about 6 hours. It's basically a fantasy movie that has almost no sense to it. The Greg-Marcia relationship would have been interesting in a different type of movie, but not for "The Brady Bunch". I guess if you're 16 and younger, you might like this sequel, but that's about it.
