Consensus: Though lightweight and silly, The Brady Bunch Movie still charms as homage to the 70s sitcom.

Runtime: 88 mins

Genre: Comedies

The plot here (about a ruthless land developer who wants to buy the Brady home) is secondary to the playful juxtaposition of the Brady's era with our own. The film dotes on the peculiarities of 70s fashion and lingo with an almost religious fervor. The kids seem as lost in their wide-collared, pastel shirts as they do in their anachronistic moral universe. Marcia, for instance, is oblivious to the come-ons from a lesbian friend and she haughtily informs a date that she doesn't go to "third base." Several members of the original cast make cameo appearances. [More]

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

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

[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".

This is enormous fun, one of the best TV adaptations to date, and guaranteed to provoke a nostalgic misty eye and mischevious grin in anybody who's ever owned a crimplene tank top.

One of the first of the 1970s TV series to get the big-screen treatment, The Brady Bunch Movie remains virtually the only successful film from that genre.

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

A gentle, passable spoof.

I hate to admit it, but I laughed at the Brady Bunch Movie. I laughed a lot.

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.

If dumbness is a large part of our problem, then The Brady Bunch Movie is a small (and oddly cheery) part of its solution.

It made me wistful not only for a piece of my youth, but also for an era when families were functional, communities seemed closer.
