A Very Brady Sequel (1996)

I love this movie so much

Sorry, this movie sucks

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I grew up watching re-runs of The Brady Bunch. I have watched every episode, several times. Two actors in this movie were spot on, the ones who played Marcia and Mr. Brady. It's so fascinating for me to watch them. Some reviewers thought Shelley Long did a good job as Carol, to that I have to disagree. I'm left rather confused by people giving her praise. There were a few times she sounded like Carol but that's about it.And the girl who played Jan, well, what can I say? She is absolutely hilarious. She plays Jan well, sounds like her and stuff but she puts her own crazy twist to the character which makes her the best thing in the film. She could carry the movie all on her own.And for the people all bent out of shape over the Marcia, Greg love scene, oh c'mon, it's a COMEDY! Marcia and Greg weren't even blood related and it's well known they had a thing for each other during the taping of the show. So it's FUNNY! A great shock factor. I couldn't believe they were putting that in the movie when I first saw it.

Another of the rare breed of sequels-better-than-the-original movies, A Very Brady Sequel continues with the idea of the 70's Brady's being stuck in the present (in this case, the mid-90's) from the first film. While the original movie was very funny (grunge music nonwithstanding), the total lack of a plot was a pretty obvious hole.This time around we're actually treated to a decent storyline (as relative as can be to the entire Brady aura, that is) involving Mrs. Brady's first, long-lost husband, Roy. This adds a whole additional avenue for laughs as we now have an straight outsider thrust directly into the everyday realm of the Bradys. As he tries to enact his nefarious scheme, he's dragged kicking and screaming through their loopy antics, breakout songs and Mr. Brady's lectures.The same Brady cast returns and they're as spot-on as ever. A bulk of the laughs continue to go to insecure Jan, as she tries to convince everyone she's a viable person. A new "incest" angle is introduced between Greg and Marcia ("Does this mean we're not really brother and sister?") that plays very well throughout. Tim Matheson is an excellent addition as Roy Brady, and he gets some scene stealing parts as well, particularly when he ends up "tripping with the Bradys".While Sam seems to have disappeared in this one, we do see a couple of other Brady icons who seemed to have been missed in the first movie, though blink and you'll miss them. Surprisingly no real-life cameos in this one.As with the first movie, the more familiar you are with the TV series the more you will enjoy this movie. If you've never watched the Bradys then you'll probably want to skip these movies as most of the laughs are derived from inside references to the episodes, but if you have, then this is highly recommended and one of my faves.

A VERY BRADY SEQUEL was the 1996 sequel to THE BRADY BUNCH MOVIE which tries to touch upon all the episodes of the classic TV series that the first movie didn't. The paper-thin premise of this sequel centers on the appearance of a shady con-man (Tim Matheson) who arrives on the Bradys' doorstep claiming to be Carol's long-lost first husband, who, according to this film's opening scene, was lost at sea. The con-man is really there to get his hands on a statue that has sat in the background of every episode of the TV show and we now learn that it is part of a set and worth a lot of money. But the funniest part of this movie for me is a subplot in which after Roy's arrival, Greg (Christopher Daniel Barnes) and Marcia (Christine Taylor) learn they may not be brother and sister and start lusting after each other. This is, of course, a knowing nod to all those who have read Barry Williams' book GROWING UP BRADY where he confesses to having been madly in love with Maureen McCormick and had trouble looking at her in a sisterly way when they were working. This movie addresses this in a hysterical scene where Greg and Marcia are sharing the room in the attic and start undressing in silhouette. This scene is cleverly shot and perfectly performed by Barnes and Taylor. The rest of the cast has settled comfortably into their roles for this sequel, especially Gary Cole, who is just spooky as Robert Reed as Mike Brady and Jennifer Elise Cox, who steals every scene she is in as Jan. The fun peters out before a truly lame finale, but for true fans, there is fun to be had here.

i think that its not the best sequel and its kinda stupid but its still a great movie for Brady Bunch lovers. but its a really good story. the lines could of bean not as cheesy but whatever thats what makes the scenario funny. its a movie that you could watch with kids because there's no ''bad words'' and nothing thats not proper except one little kiss but who cares ... its actually maybe not a movie for like 4 years old but its a movie for like 7 and over and its in between a general and pg movie...you and you're kids will love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so you have to watch this movie its great. give this movie a chance because i am sure that you will fall in love with it !!!!
