Reviews for Brady Bunch Movie
The Brady Bunch Movie is never more than lightly amusing, but then neither was the TV show.

Top CriticPart homage, part spoof, the deft balancing act is a clever, engaging adaption.

Top CriticThe Brady Bunch Movie is just another weak attempt to hit our nostalgia buttons.
01/01/00
One of the first of the 1970s TV series to get the big-screen treatment, The Brady Bunch Movie remains virtually the only successful film from that genre.
01/01/00
A gentle, passable spoof.
01/01/00
The problem with The Brady Bunch is that, satirical or serious, ninety minutes is too much.
01/01/00
Grueling sendup of the 70's comedy that goes on way too long.
01/01/00
If dumbness is a large part of our problem, then The Brady Bunch Movie is a small (and oddly cheery) part of its solution.

Top CriticThere are a surprizing number of good laughs, but in the end it's an NBC movie of the week filmed in 35mm.
01/01/00
Among the most deeply cynical movies ever made.
01/01/00
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 CriticIt made me wistful not only for a piece of my youth, but also for an era when families were functional, communities seemed closer.
01/01/00
The sitcom elements are strung together rather than interwoven; there's no sense of movement or development in the film.
01/01/00
The Brady Bunch Movie is -- to exhaust this string of metaphors -- pure junk food. But like most junk food, it sure tastes good.
