The Brady Bunch Movie (1995)

It is a performances centric movie

Gripping story with well-crafted characters

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Dull, slow comedy about gender roles, but not in the sense of making fun of the roles, only in reinforcing them. Realism in not the strong point, more like the romantic nonsense of mass produced comics. The end result is quite simple: if you have grown up with this and want some more from the same old, than you're the only audience the production team planned for.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

Rating-7/10The Brady Bunch movie is a comedy reboot of senses of the original TV show "The Brady Bunch". It is funny, a simple word but one that really describes the kind humour this is, just funny, not always smart but nevertheless funny as all. It is different in it's way of doing humour, a kind of way in which the 90's are the complete opposite of the 70's Brady family, and the results are at times laugh out loud. Now it isn't side splitting, but I felt it to be pretty good and it has so many various laughs, it just works.The cast do well, very good well maybe not but they do create a certain air of crazy and the situations they get into are sometimes brilliant. Gary Cole as Mike Brady is good and the way in which he portrays him is very calm but often funny. The entire family are funny, as said not always cry out loud humour but still laughs a plenty and some are silly, some are smart but even silly ones won't make you feel bad for laughing at them.Not the smartest movie as said, well done yes but as many critics of the day said, it is too silly. It isn't slapstick jokes(well some can be) but there not in massive quantity. I do feel it was written smartly by the numerous writers who seem to collaborate well and really are the people who make the great lines and of which most of the stupid jokes, but funny, are made. The culture clash of the film is what makes this what it is, I can't say this is exactly like the TV show but the way in which they kind of bring them back from the past in a new setting makes this even better, a great decision by someone.Now the direction isn't always done well, it creates some good humour but also creates some of the worst. This movie isn't always great to review as there is very little to say, but one thing is that the jokes can, now I repeat can be hit and miss but still remain fairly well done and the movie is as always I have said, a funny one.I recommend this to people who like good old humour, not a comedy wasting around trying to create a smart plot or anything, just comedy that makes you chuckle but not over think things. The actual plot is not exactly exciting but that's the good thing for me, it focuses on making you laugh more than thrilling or entertaining with boring and seen before plots so common of the day.Overall a kind of good movie and one that although not entirely brilliant, still a movie that should entertain and if a fan of the original series, please watch it. This movie even has a sequel so you can see that people did enjoy the humour and do like the film so please disregard any poor reviews but also don't listen to one's that say this is flawless, in fact my review is pretty worthless too but make your own mind up on this one and if you find it funny too.

I have a confession to make: I watched the original Brady Bunch because, growing up in a dysfunctional family, I secretly longed for a functional family. This 1995 movie pokes fun at the Brady's wholesome and unified spirit, but also highlight their early-70's outlandishness by having the story take place in the mid-90s.While the last act loses some luster, the rest of the film is a laugh riot if you're familiar with the original show. And who isn't? The 1996 sequel "A Very Brady Sequel" is just as good.The film runs 90 minutes and was shot in the Los Angeles area.GRADE: A-

i never saw any episode of the Brady's , but i enjoyed this spoof of 70's righteous family living in modern mid nineties, not so glamorous, period. i specially like the funny as always Shelly long of course as the mother, and amazing babe Christine Taylor playing Marcia. but for me the movie really started to pick up from the moment (49 min) Davy Jones give an exceptional performance of his 70's Brady's hit 'girl' while Marcia Brady 70's character drive an entire 90's grunge crowed to dance to is song, and the schoolteachers are gathering around him. so to sum it up - great fun movie , and the sequel was also as good. Christine Taylor will probably will always be remembered for this role.
