Movie Info

The Brady Bunch Movie pays tribute to the 1970s TV show while poking gentle fun at it. The Brady family, led by father Mike (Gary Cole), still live in their suburban, split-level home and are still throwbacks to the era that spawned them. Eternally perky wife Carol (Shelley Long) is the perfect homemaker, while the kids' behavior is as wholesome as their loud, time-warp pastel clothes.

A curiously sour movie in its amused contempt for this fatuous family.

The actors try hard, but the screenplay isn't solid enough to keep any of them consistently clever.

The Brady Bunch Movie is never more than lightly amusing, but then neither was the TV show.

Part homage, part spoof, the deft balancing act is a clever, engaging adaption.

Wonder of wonders, Thomas and her colleagues have turned this mother lode of 1970s kitsch into a pretty tasty little comedy.

The film establishes a bland, reassuring, comforting Brady reality - a certain muted tone that works just fine but needs, I think, a bleaker contrast from outside to fully exploit the humor.

While the young actors are all fine at spoofery, we get the impression that only Long, McKean and Cole really understand the joke.

A funny, savvy, camp yet family-friendly look at the Generation-X TV icons.

[Director Thomas] drawn hilariously synthetic performances from a shrewdly cloned cast.

Apparently someone else besides yours truly was watching the eighties sitcom "Day by Day".

Audience Reviews for The Brady Bunch Movie

I certainly don't think anyone who didn't grow up with series, or at least had some fondness for it is going to get a terrible lot of this, but I have to admit, I quite like it, even though it is stupid, and have watched it quite a few times over the years.They have done a really good job with casting here -
