Editorial Review: Product Description: Contains the brady bunch and a very brady sequel. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 05/23/2006 Starring: Shelley Long Gary Cole Amazon.com: The Brady Bunch Movie The big-screen version of the hugely popular 1970s television sitcom takes an original angle: instead of simply re-creating the old series, the film spoofs it by presenting the merged family as blithely unaware that fashions and customs have changed in the '90s. Shelley Long and Gary Cole are hilarious as the ultra-square yet libidinous Mr. and Mrs. Brady, Christopher Daniel Barnes is an ideal Greg, and Christine Taylor seems practically cloned from the original Marcia. But director Betty Thomas (Private Parts) shifts the emphasis away from comparisons between old and new Bradys and concentrates on quasi-surreal parodies and set pieces featuring the Brady kids doing their spirited, singing thing for a disbelieving public. Smart, sharp, and happy to share its conspiratorial mood with an appreciative audience, The Brady Bunch Movie is a kick. A Very Brady Sequel This second ironic send-up of the old Sherwood Schwartz sitcom is even funnier than The Brady Bunch Movie. Shelley Long and Gary Cole return as the married heads of the merged family known as the Bradys, and Christopher Daniel Barnes and Christine Taylor reprise their roles as eldest stepsiblings Greg and Marcia. As with the first film, the clever premise finds the Brady clan caught in a kind of '70s time warp, while the rest of the world has moved well into the '90s. Greg is still looking for a "groovy girlfriend," Mr. Brady thinks the idea of a cable that sends 50 channels to one's TV set must be a joke, and Mrs. Brady spends hours at the beauty shop only to look exactly the same as she went in. There's a plot involving an imposter (Tim Matheson) who claims to be Carol's long-lost husband, but the real charge in this comedy comes from the way these pseudohip characters deal with sexual taboos (is there any real reason that Greg and Marcia shouldn't get it on?) and the incredulous reactions of other people. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating: - Loved IT!!!True to form, a campy movie X2!!! Fun for the family, except maybe the line from Sam "delivering meat" when asked why he was there with Alice at night.. Just fun!!! Rating:  - The first one is dumb, the second one is hilarious.The Brady Bunch Movie and A Very Brady Sequel has its moments but don't expect a carbon copy of the t.v. version. The jokes are more crude and ironic and not wishy-washy and oh so polite. Shelley Long is perfectly cast as Carol Brady, her comic timing is impeccable. The rest of the cast are a little bit over their heads, Christine Taylor is pretty good as superficial Marsha though. I didn't care for the first film, the sequel is much stronger and funnier. A mixed bag for me but enjoy! Rating: - spoof on the brady bunch series brilliantly donefunny entertaining enjoyable mocks on everybodys favorite goody,goody tv family.anyone that grew up with this show will find both these movies enjoyable highly recommended. Rating: - Super Funny!These movies are an instant classic. If you liked the original TV series, you'll love these spoofs. The acting is great and the characters are so believable. Fun for the whole family and very well done. Actually the Sequel is better than the first, but overall they both get 5 outta 5 stars. "Far out and Groooovy!" Rating: - Great remakes of the original seriesI' a big fan of the original Brady Bunch series and watched them while growing up as well as watching re-runs again present day. The movie remakes were done well. The actors all looked very close to the original characters from physical appearances to the way they spoke and moved. The movies picked a bunch of the popular episodes and meshed them all in together into the movie on top of the main plots. They were a lot of fun to watch and are added to my collection of other Brady Bunch DVD's Browse for similar items by category:
