It turns out that the horse statue in the Brady family living room is a priceless artifact unbeknownst to the Bradys. The gang is back with the same satirical take on the 70s TV family. Tim Matheson plays the mysterious man who shows up claiming to be Carol Brady's first husband Roy. Carol doesn't recognize him but he claims to be disfigured by an elephant. Everybody buys into the story as he tries to steal the horse.The gang is still fun satire but Tim Matheson adds nothing to the movie. The setup needs to be more natural and not so stupid. The family should be the only ones doing silly things. Also they keep pushing Marcia and Greg together. Everything is just a little bit too awkward. The first Brady Bunch movie is much more in keeping with the ideas of the original TV show.
... View MoreI hated the original "Brady Bunch"--the show was totally saccharine and about as edgy as a basketball! When the Brady movie came out in 1995, I was thrilled--as the saccharine Brady family was gone and the movie had a wonderful way of making fun of itself. Because of this good-natured lampoon, I was excited to see the sequel--and it did not disappoint--being MUCH better, even, than the previous film.Here, the plot is much sillier and the film is much more daring--going some sick places that the last film never dared. Jan is back--and even crazier than before and simply a hoot. And, there is a totally sick plot involving Marsha and Greg that had me falling on the floor laughing.One of the only reservations about the film is that it, unlike the TV show, there is some family-unfriendly humor. It was very, very funny and welcome...but not for the younguns. The other is that to enjoy and appreciate the film, you really need to have seen the original show. If you never saw the show, you will miss a lot of the references and won't enjoy it nearly as much. So, as a result, here is how I rate the film: 9 if you've seen the original show and hated it and 7 if you've never seen it and 2 if you LOVE the original show and can't imagine anyone lampooning this 'pure genius' (yeah, right).The
... View Morei 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 !!!!
... View MoreBright, easy-to-take follow-up to 1995's "The Brady Bunch Movie", a spot-on (if not especially hilarious) send-up of the kitschy '70s TV series about a widower with three boys who marries a single mother with three girls. The television show never explained what happened to Carol Brady's first husband, which is the engaging starting point for this plot. Tim Matheson shows up claiming to be the long-lost father of Marcia, Jan and Cindy--but is he an imposter? Has the same wonderful sets and color schemes from the 1995 movie, and the same cast is reassembled in high style, but the basic problems from before remain: weak, repetitive gags and in-jokes stolen from the TV show retold without any irony (only camp value). Mixture of silly, harmless laughs and groaners make the results enjoyable for fans, but intolerable to anyone else. ** from ****
