Summary: The ultimate spoof!
Review: This movie is just brilliant! Greg Cole and Shelley Longe are fantastic as the perfect parents,and the kids nail the attitude of the original characters amazingly. I loved RuPauls appearance as Jans guidance counseller. This movie gives the word spoof new meanings! Also, make sure to watch the tropical sequel!

Summary: I was rolling in the aisle!
Review: This movie was hilarious (made even moreso by the fact that I watched it with two friends named Marcia and Peter). I was laughing throughout the whole thing. Of course, you have to have seen the original episodes in order to understand the humor fully. Great film!

Summary: hilarious parody, with superb acting performances
Review: This movie would have stayed off my radar if not for my wife's habit of watching old _Brady Bunch_ reruns. (Stop snickering, you. It's like a disability: I can't help it.) To my surprise, it turned out to be one of the best and funniest parodies I've ever seen.While some of the actors' visual resemblance to their original counterparts is barely cosmetic, others required close scrutiny to tell apart from the originals. Their vocal resemblance, however, is so impressive that I have to give a standing O to their hard work and self-sacrifice: virtually all of them captured the diction, nervous habits and indeed every nuance of their original characters' behaviour with double-take accuracy. This must have required many hours of watching the original series, which has to qualify as one of the all-time great sacrifices for the sake of the thespian art. Even the costuming was a riot. I counted at least four of the orignal actors (Greg, Peter, Alice and Carol) in cameos. If you ever scoffed at the corniness of the original show--I can't resist this--you will find this movie groovy in a far-out, dreamy way.

Summary: Funny and sarcasatic..........
Review: Well, the movie was funny as the Brady's live in 60's-80's haven in the 90's. I watch the Brady Bunch reruns on tv all the time, and I thought that it made fun of the Brady family, but it was still a comedy to watch.

Summary: Groovy movie that is really happening in a far-out way!
Review: When I first heard about the concept of this movie, I thought it was dumb-I liked the idea of a BB movie, especially since the previews looked great, but then I read I review about how the Bradys are in a "time warp" and the rest of the world is in the late 90's. When I saw the movie, all my fears were put to rest. In fact, some of the "culture clash" scenes of the Bradys interacting with the rest of the world were the funniest, such as McKean's character not understanding a word of what she's saying because of her lisp, an attempted car-jack "Well, this is a car. But my name's not Jack!" and Marcia's best female friend being a lesbian with a hopeless crush on her. There's not really enough room to say enough good things about this movie, but here's some of them. First, the dead-on impressions are great, especially Alice, Jan, and Marcia, but Robert Reed is really the stand-out-he sounds more like Mike Brady than Mike Brady, and has his mannerisms down perfect. Lots of in-jokes and references that kids who didn't watch the show won't get but those of us like me that did will get: for instance, when Carol kisses Mike goodbye when he leaves for work, she says, "See ya later, Tiger! (pause) Tiger...Tiger...I wonder what ever happened to that dog?" the blackboard in the kitchen has "porkchops and applesauce" written on it, etc. They even manage to throw in a reference to Johnny Bravo. The period detail is great including the costumes. There's some little sexual innuendo thrown in, but it fits in with the movie and the characters perfectly-one of the funniest scenes is when Carol and Mike think they're alone, and she's sitting on his lap whispering what is probably something dirty in his ear, and he's saying "Uh-huh...You would...I see..." exactly like Mike Brady does when he's talking to someone on the phone. They include the popular Brady songs like "Sunshine Day" (always kind of grated on me, but they do a great version in a Sears store) and the horrible one that starts "Clowns never laughed before..." but "Keep On" is actually a pretty catchy one. They recreate many famous moments/plots from the show, such as Marcia's nose getting broken ("Oh! My nose!") to Jan's delight, potato sack races, Jan hating her new glasses, Bobby being the Safety Monitor at school, and plenty more. The plot (yes, it actually has one) involves the Brady family's efforts to save their beloved home from an evil land-developer. Highly recommended, even if you're not a Brady completist. Watch for the cameos from 4 original cast members-the best was the real Alice playing a truck driver (hmmm, always though Alice was a little butch) picking up hitch-hiking Jan who has run away from home. Most importantly to me, though this is a parody, the moviemakers make fun of the show while still staying true to the spirit of it and the characters. All their naivete is actually sweet rather than annoying-Marcia wears hideous 70's clothes but carries herself like a princess, Greg wants to make friends with the car-jacker, assuming he must need a spare tire, Mike explains how he wouldn't sell his house for any price because he designed it himself with love. During one scene, Marcia and Jan go to a "Teen Model" tryout (Jan is instantly booted) and the photographer/agent tells her she needs to cut her hair, get breast implants, and lose some weight. She slaps, him horrified: "CUT MY HAIR? How dare you!" Greg's lines to pick up chicks (well, it seems like this is his only opening pickup line) is "Hey groovy chick. You look really happening in a far out way!" are actually endearing. Everyone with a sense of humor and fun will probably like this movie, and those of us who grew up on the show will absolutely love it.

Summary: Come on Home with the Bradys.
Review: When I first watched this movie, I really wasn't looking forward to seeing it. I enjoyed watching the television show when I was a kid, but it wasn't one of my favorite shows. However, this film really surprised me and turned out to be the funniest movie I've seen in years. The movie is hilarious. It parodies everything that made the Brady the Bradys (Cindy's lisp, Mike's family talks, potato sack races, etc) . All the actors have a dead-on impersonations of the original characters and make the spoof totally believable. The major plot of the film is fairly simple. The Brady's owe $20,000 in back taxes and their beloved home is going to be sold if they can't raise the funds. Their next door neighbor is a greedy developer who wants to build a shopping mall in the Bradys neighborhood. All the other homeowners have sold, but the Bradys won't bite. The desperate developer seems to have lost, until he finds out about the Bradys' back taxes. Then things get messy. There is also a subplot revolving around Jan's struggle with being a middle child and always being overlooked by Marcia. Jan's "struggle" is one of the most hilarious things I have seen on film in a long time. You'll never think of hearing voices the same again (or Jan Brady for that matter). Overall a hilarious film that parodies the original television series. The movie has the blessing of the Bradys creator (he wrote the screenplay). It is a delight for anyone who remembers the original series and even if you don't, you're sure to have a few laughs with this 70's family living in a modern world.

Summary: Why oh, why does Hollywood want to ruin icons?
Review: Why do they insist on making a mockery of television shows we all loved? Brady Bunch, Scooby Do... there have been others. They make a movie that serves SOLELY to make the characters and premise look dumb. It's irritating and stupid.
