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

Reviews for Brady Bunch Movie
Top Critic[Director Thomas] drawn hilariously synthetic performances from a shrewdly cloned cast.

Top CriticThis 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.

The problem with The Brady Bunch is that, satirical or serious, ninety minutes is too much.

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

Grueling sendup of the 70's comedy that goes on way too long.

There are a surprizing number of good laughs, but in the end it's an NBC movie of the week filmed in 35mm.

Among the most deeply cynical movies ever made.

The film establishes a bland, reassuring, comforting Brady reality - a certain muted tone that works just fine but needs, I think, a bleaker contrast from outside to fully exploit the humor.

Top CriticThe sitcom elements are strung together rather than interwoven; there's no sense of movement or development in the film.

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