User Review
I never thought of it that way..
Rating: 9/10
The Brady Bunch Movie (1995) is, in my opinion, one of the best spoofs
in movie history. Every character is deliciously well done in true '70s
style, the decor is excellent, and the whole plot is hilarious: the
Bradys in the '90s. An excellent movie on the whole, complete with
cameos by the original Brady Bunch cast and '70s icons.
The beauty of this movie, has I've mentioned before, is that it is done
so authentically. There are little touches here and there (you may need
to watch the movie a few times to notice), such as 'The Partridge
Family' bus going by just before the singing competition scene.
There are some hilarious moments (some quite cringe worthy too!). Mike
Brady giving a 'wise' speech, Marcia getting hit in the nose by a
football, Marcia's dance and so many more. I even find when Jan knocks
some boxes off funny! Pacing wise, it moves very fast so you don't get
bored. It runs smoothly. No qualms there.
It is really amusing to see a naive, sweet '70s family fit in with '90s
California grunge. It's a great movie - many great memories of this.
