The Brady Bunch in the White House (2002)

Simply A Masterpiece

Good concept, poorly executed.

Don't Believe the Hype

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

This movie is an insult to BB fans. It lacks the charm and wit of the first BB movie. Nothing is funny. Since the action takes place in the White House instead of the Brady House, nothing makes sense and politics isn't funny. Long and Cole are too old for their parts (and they barely phone in their performances) and none of the kids or Alice look like their series counterparts.It's hard to believe Sherwood Schwartz was associated with this terrible movie. The writing is boring, the musical numbers are torture to sit through, and I hated everything about it. If you're a Brady Bunch fan, skip this movie.

Mike Brady makes it into the office of Presidency because the President elect (just seconds before accepting office) runs out. Literally. There's a little laugh as we're treated to a super-imposed Bush & Clinton in the background, but that's about the best this solid gold pooper has to offer.It really is sad to see a good film series come to this. I know it happens, just look at what became of the Police Academy series. It's just too bad good money has to be wasted like this. (I mean my 20 dollars buying the thing, because I was thrilled to see another Brady Bunch movie after all this time. What a let down!)They couldn't even get kids who looked as much like their alter egos as the first two films did. I mean, come on... these new kids were probably related to someone who financed the thing. That's how bad they were.At least Shelley Long & Gary Cole stayed on board. They're always great. But the rest? Good grief!!There was also way too much music in this film. It got uncomfortable to watch after a while. A short song is okay, but three?? Come on. We know the Brady's sang... we don't need to be reminded every film!If the producers have run the well dry... if this is the best they can come up with... cheaply-filmed (it looked like videotape), amateur hour film school garbage, than just hang it up!

I hate this movie with an undying passion. It makes my blood boil. The actors are below sub-par, not to mention none of the original kids are cast, the editing is bad, and the production is all around cheesey. This movie is by FAR worse than Omega Doom or The English Patient. All that basically happens in this movie is Mike Brady becomes the president for being unrealistically honest, and the Bradys experience everything that happens in a "Joe Schmoe Becomes President" movie. Now keep in mind that I love the movies "Kickboxing Academy" and "Bio-Dome". That's how bad this movie is.

Ok, this movie was definitely stupid. But I liked it because it was stupid enough to be really funny. It was a lot more made fun of than the one made in '95 . . . especially when Peter tells everybody what he'll buy them with the lottery ticket. (Cindy - speech therapist, Jan - new glasses, braces, etc.) What I didn't like is how Cindy was so little when she's supposed to be the same age as Bobby, and Peter was supposed to be the same age as Jan. They could have at least did that! Don't go out of your way to see this movie, but if it's on, check it out!
