Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Just perfect...

Beautiful, moving film.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I didn't care for the first "Brady Bunch" movie, but I enjoyed the second one because it savaged the Brady mentality more. When I heard the premise for this third movie, I thought it was a great premise. The square Bradys in a high position of power? It's ripe for humor.Unfortunately, I found most of the actual execution disappointing. First of all, the productions are inconsistent. Since this entry was made for TV, the budget was obviously slashed, and as a result much of the movie has a cheap feeling.The second was the acting. I admit that Canadian actor Saul Rubinek was amusing, and Shelley Long and Gary Cole (reprising their roles) give it their best as always, but I didn't care for the new actors cast in the Brady children roles. They seemed to just be reading their lines instead of really making real characters.But what's really disappointing about this movie is the writing. There is very little story after the Bradys get to the White House, just a bunch of vignettes with little to no relation to each other. And there is surprisingly less footage that you'd think of Mike and Carol Brady actually doing the duties of president/vice president. And what little footage there is is unimaginative. What if Mike Brady hosted Middle East peace talks? What if Carol Brady was interviewed by a political commentator like Rush Limbaugh? Nothing like those two examples ever happens here, despite the opportunities for humor being endless.Even if you're a fan of "The Brady Bunch", chances are you'll find little to laugh about here.

The Brady Bunch in the White House was a pretty good movie, much better than I expected it to be. There were no appearances by any of the original cast or crew, although the script was written by Lloyd Schwartz and Hope Juber (Sherwood Schwartz's son and daughter both of whom worked on or appeared on the original Brady Bunch TV series). I enjoyed the film as the casting was (in my opinion) better than in the first 2 Brady feature films where I think they cast the actors too old (e.g. Marcia in The Brady Bunch movie was played by a 25 year old.) The storyline was a bit far fetched with Mike becoming president of the United States, and Carol being both the Vice President and First Lady and the family moving into the white house. Peter played ball in the house and broke a priceless mink vase which starts leaking right in the middle of a state dinner :p The character of Jan is like in the 2 previous movies, making a bit of a mockery of her and her inner voices which I don't like as that only happened in one episode. I enjoyed all the references to old episodes made in the film. There were several musical numbers, some on a patriotic sort of line but also the well known songs Time to Change and the theme song were done by the new cast. There was only one part where there was an attraction between Greg and Marcia and only when they were in the underground safe zone cos they thought a metiorite was going to hit the earth and they would have to start a new civilisation ;)... Yeah so all in all I very much enjoyed the movie, at first it was difficult to adjust to the new faces for the kids and Alice (this Alice is tooo skinny :p) but Mike and Carol are the same and just as good as ever. This movie was released on DVD and VHS in Australia on the 23rd of May and was on US TV in November of 2002.

Whoever came up with the idea for this TV movie should be slapped a few times.Gary Cole and Shelley Long reprise their roles as Carol and Mike Brady in the "third" installment to the Brady Bunch spoof series.The first two films, which were theatrically released in the 90s, were pathetic, stupid, seriously overacted, but hilarious. This time around, though, all roles accept for Mike and Carol were recast, and the child actors have little talent.In this installment, Bobby finds a 67 million dollar winning lottery ticket. The Bradys try to find the owner of this ticket (they apparently don't live by the "finders, keepers" creed), and somehow Mike gets elected as President of the United States. Meanwhile, Greg Brady has fallen for a Whitehouse employee who is working to bring the Brady family down, and Carol becomes vice-president to the horror of Congress.A downright horrible TV movie that shouldn't have been made.

The entire premise behind the "New" Brady movies has pretty much been run into the ground. Yes, they are clueless. Yes, they are from an age that never actually existed. Yes, we can all see the references to old Brady episodes sprinkled throughout the movie. (Mikes plans in the tube, the broken vase from playing ball in the house, Jan jealous of Marcia, etc., etc.) but it is just not funny the third time around. Mike becomes president because of his insistence of finding out who owns a lottery ticket Bobby found. Hilarity is supposed to ensue when the evil of Washington takes on the blissful naive goodness of the Brady's. It's just one joke though. It is funny a couple of times, but mostly it is the theatrical movies scripts put into a cheap White House set. Nothing new here, except the kids that play the Brady children.
