Consensus: Though lightweight and silly, The Brady Bunch Movie still charms as homage to the 70s sitcom.

The popular 70s TV show makes a graceful transition to the big screen in this light-hearted feature that's part parody and part homage. The plot here (about a ruthless land developer who wants to buy the Brady home) is secondary to the playful juxtaposition of the Brady's era with our own. The film dotes on the peculiarities of 70s fashion and lingo with an almost religious fervor. The kids seem as lost in their wide-collared, pastel shirts as they do in their anachronistic moral universe. Marcia, for instance, is oblivious to the come-ons from a lesbian friend and she haughtily informs a date that she doesn't go to "third base." Several members of the original cast make cameo appearances. [More]

4/5

This is enormous fun, one of the best TV adaptations to date, and guaranteed to provoke a nostalgic misty eye and mischevious grin in anybody who's ever owned a crimplene tank top.

While the young actors are all fine at spoofery, we get the impression that only Long, McKean and Cole really understand the joke.

[Director Thomas] drawn hilariously synthetic performances from a shrewdly cloned cast.

A curiously sour movie in its amused contempt for this fatuous family.

A funny, savvy, camp yet family-friendly look at the Generation-X TV icons.

Apparently someone else besides yours truly was watching the eighties sitcom "Day by Day".

The actors try hard, but the screenplay isn't solid enough to keep any of them consistently clever.
