Carol Brady's (Shelley Long) presumed-dead husband Roy (Tim Matheson) re-appears and is taken in by the loving family. What they don't know is that Roy is actually a deadly imposter, who wants a carved horse owned by the Bradys -- that unbeknownst to them is worth millions. Will Roy ever get his hands on that artifact? Or will the blissfully clueless Bradys kill him with kindness instead? [More]

No incarnation of the Brady Bunch, no matter how cleverly satirized, can use up an hour and a half's screen time without making the audience feel like they've overdosed.

A funnier movie than its predecessor; its detours into surrealism and kink are richer and braver.

A considerably better second installment than one usually encounters.

Breezy fun, but probably only a safe moviegoing bet for camp connoisseurs, Brady maniacs, and fans of the first film.

I didn't laugh much during A Very Brady Sequel, but I did smile a lot.

As a satire of a sitcom that wasn't funny, it's often at its funniest when it's purposely stale.

The new film hints mischievously at the kind of dysfunction that would truly bring the Brady bunch up to date.

The humor level is way way below the original.

A film which seems more creative than it actually is.

A Very Brady Sequel isn't great, but it's enjoyable.

As far as parodies are concerned, this one just isn't particularly funny.

At the center, it feels as hollow as a smile-face cookie jar.

Still delivers diverting comic fluff for the bland clan's fans.

The sequel sniggers more but strains less...
