This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This movie was mega crap. The writers should be fired, flogged, and thrown into a lake ... and the actors should be tossed in after them. This movie seriously lacked in the intelligence category, but sure made up for it in the suckiness category. The way the (vey elderly) parents acted toward each other from the beginning of the movie, scared the heck out of me! they were gross, awkward, and flat out cheesy, not to mention disgusting. The way they were oblivious to the problems of their children, that seem to slap them in the face was incredibly unrealistic. There was a lot of singing in this movie too ... a heck of a lot. It was awkward as crap, and made you want to either throw all the actors off of a cliff, or toss yourself off of one. Peter wore the scariest onesy ever, to bed one night ... it was like watching your mother get her face ripped off by a zombie. Then, what's with Peter not having the guts to ask his hot girlfriend to marry him?? They end up asking each other on the count of 3 ... cut my neck off. And Cindy's problem was that she is the youngest......... like really??? She's supposed to be graduating college and she still hasn't gotten over that fact that she is the youngest? Geez grow the crap up! And Greg's stupid self looked like Mario with a lab coat. The way he made out with his wife in his office made me seriously consider rinsing with Listerine for the next hour and a half. And don't even get me started on Marcia's husband........ what a turd muncher!! He talked in this whiny voice and was always crying like a little girl about some stupid toy factory that was barely explained by these sorry excuse for screenplay writers! Every one of these pathetic "adults'" problems were summed up in a matter of seconds..... no really they were summed up in SECONDS........ which makes us all wonder....... why the freak did it take the whole movie to actually fix them? FINALLY, the movie ends with Mr. Brady having to go save 2 people from a crashing building. Why on earth an ancient architect would be more valuable than a seasoned firefighter squad will never be known, in this world or the next. He runs in to save them, only to get trapped himself like the douche bag he is. So instead of calling another architect, OR THE FREAKING POLICE FORCE! Everyone basically sits around for about 8 hours outside the building, hoping that SuperMike will pull himself out of the hole he's gotten in. After about 7 hours and 55 minutes, they all decide to sing a Christmas carol in celebration of his demise. Unfortunately, out comes Mr. Brady without a single scratch to spoil their high hopes of his death. Then, the movies ends with Sam the Butcher coming back to Alice after cheating on her. He makes an 8 second apology, and all is well that ends well. This movie is just the worst. on a scale of 1 to 10 this is a -18738479324794! If this movie doesn't send you to the Happy Farm, it'll leave you cutting your wrists or sending a bullet through your face. Thank the Good Lord that this sorry "film" (and I use that word loosely) didn't drag on longer than an hour and a half.

Well, what can this guy say? Like many, I grew up watching 'The Brady Bunch' and while, yes, it was/is cheesy - as we all know - I loved it.Many of the reviews posted here say it all. But I'll add my two cents anyhow...Marcia Brady - 'Sigh' - THE Marcia Brady, gorgeous Brady girl #1 who occupied the upper left hand photo box in the series opening credits. Marcia Brady - cheerleader at both Filmore Junior High and Westdale High, the girl who beat Greg at their Brady organized driving tests, the girl who did the sexy hula dance during the Brady's 3 part Hawaiian vacation. Marica Brady - every guy's dream date, a girl who could flip her alluring Breck shampooed long blonde hair and win any guy.......ended up marrying that loser WALLY??? Puh-LEASE! What in the heck were the writers thinking....or smoking?Note: Maureen looked HOT in this TV movie. And then we have...........Jan. Yes, poor neurotic, borderline manic depressive/personality disorder afflicted Jan ("But, Glasses will make me look positively GOOFY!" - Yes, sweety, they did) with the OH SO serious sense of low self esteem (watch any episode of the original series and see this morose gal in action. Remember when, jealous of Marcia, in episodes 1-116, she hid all of Marcia's awards and trophies?) is even MORE so in this movie! Add in frigid, bitchy, and a short cropped hairdo that only amplified her scowling look, and whaddya got? Ya got Jan Brady - 1990's style. And it ain't a pretty sight.Aye yi yi. BAD TV reunion movie. Two thumbs (my own) down.Heheheheheh....but I still watch it.

I was a big fan of the Brady Bunch show when it was on and I was young and naive. I, just as most who watched it, knew it wasn't realistic. We knew it wasn't how most families interact etc. but we liked it just the same. When I watched this in 1988, I was disappointed. It was very well done but I guess the Brady Bunch, as many shows, was good only in its time so when reunions/updates are done, it does not have much impact - at least that's how I felt about this one. The best part was seeing (hearing) a Brady use the the word "hell!" Christopher Knight, as Peter, tells one of his siblings (I don't recall which) "That's a hell of a way to greet your brother" or something to that effect. Way to go Peter! That added some much needed realism to a show that even the most ardent fans will concede lacked realism. If I see it in my listings during the holiday season, I may check it out again but I did not care for it the first time so I doubt that will change.

This is a movie that is really only going to be tolerated by true "Brady" fans. We never really took them seriously as a family, but we loved watching them. The Brady's are, in deed, a non-existent family, but that makes them even more fun to watch- Escapism !!And now, the whole family (minus the original Cindy) is back together again in a less-groovy, updated surroundings, for a Christmas gathering, in Brady fashion. The whole house is full of Brady's and more Brady's (they've multiplied). Alice doesn't live here anymore, but she's got problems of her own and shows up at just the right moment- to help with Christmas dinner.A Very Brady Christmas is less than average t.v. fare if you were not a Brady fan. To those who watched faithfully every Friday night, you're gonna love seeing 'em in all their unbelievable camp, once again.
