Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

D.L. Polonsky First off, it should go without saying that The Brady Bunch was one of the worst, lamest, stupidest shows on television, but it goes without saying, too, that a lot of forty-and- fiftysomethings disagree. That, I think, is pretty much solely because it reminds them of their childhood, when most of them were happier, and had their whole life ahead of them, and any show that they remember watching in their youth, and that has some semblance of the styles, values and attitudes of that era, regardless of how bad the writing is, will do the same thing for them. With dialogue and behavior so brain-damaged it's almost a surreal experience to watch, it's perfect fodder for a satire. It should have been done in the late seventies, of course, a few years after it was cancelled, but better late than never. Unfortunately, these are affectionate satires created by people who seemingly actually liked the show, but they still work because the jokes are so dead-on and they string all the elements of the show together to create simple, entertaining plots. They're actually very campy, which is probably the best way to approach this immaterial material. The sequel, for a change, is the superior of the two. The first one was kind of boring, which is the worst thing a satire can be. The plot of the stolen horse in the sequel is appropriately ludicrous. Christine Taylor as Marcia bears a freakily uncanny resemblance to Maureen McCormick. Olivia Hack creates a classic distortion of Cindy. The only characters that don't quite work are Christopher Daniel Barnes as Greg, using facial mannerisms that parody straight-edge 70's nerds in general but not Greg in particular, and Shelley Long as Carol. There's always something subtly sad and pitiful about Shelly Long's face, voice and mannerisms in everything she's acted in. It works for Jay Pritchett's ex-wife and Diane Chambers, but is precisely wrong for Carol Brady. Her character seems like it thinks deeply and gets depressed, which makes the character too three-dimensional. Tim Matheson as Carol's fake ex-husband is humorously self-serving and unctuous. It's just personal taste, but I found the short-sleeve Banlon shirts he wears in almost every scene really annoying. Zsa Zsa Gabor's cameo was great. I don't see the satirical significance of having Rosie O'Donnell there though. There was one missed opportunity for a good joke. After the scene where Roy has a trip after eating spaghetti in which Alice accidentally put his stash of psychedelic mushrooms, he asks Marsha, "Who put the psychedelic mushrooms in the spaghetti?" She should have said, "Go ask Alice. I think she'll know."

DaveP 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.

Lee Eisenberg We may wonder why they would make a sequel, given that the original series is widely considered so fluffy. But "A Very Brady Sequel" isn't half bad. Portraying a man (Tim Matheson) showing up at the Bradys' house and announcing that he was Carol's first husband long believed dead, the movie pulls some neat tricks. The whole thing about "George Glass" was kinda funny.So, there's nothing particularly special here, but it's an OK way to pass time. Like in the first movie, we can definitely see the contrast between the 1970s and 1990s. Also starring Richard Belzer, Barbara Eden and David Spade in small roles.

moonspinner55 Bright, 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 ****
