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 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.

A gentle, passable spoof.

The problem with The Brady Bunch is that, satirical or serious, ninety minutes is too much.

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

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

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.
