Never that's when. This is one of the very, very few exceptions. The first Brady movie was all about showing how much different things had become from the 1970's to 1995. Kind of how they do nowadays with smart phones and I Phones in movies. No one cares about internet jargon. Whats the difference concerning such small comparisons? Why are they necessary in movies and television? There is no difference; as far as how cool everyone is, compared to how stupid everyone was. That is just plan mean and exclusionary. No one wants to watch a movie that focuses on negatives. The second Brady Bunch movie was completely different, than the first movie. It was more like the original television series; that is why it was ten times better.

Still super weird (sibling love) and sporadically funny ("scule"), but so much of the fish-out-of-water stuff that made the original a modern classic is gone. Also, Tim Matheson is far too aware and winky.

After the great success of "The Brady Bunch Movie" in 1995 the producers didn't waste time in offering a sequel the very next year that's even better. Both films poke fun at the Brady family's wholesome and unified spirit, but also highlight their early-70's outlandishness by having the stories take place in the mid-90s.I'm giving "A Very Brady Sequel" a fairly high grade because it's funny and entertaining from beginning to end. All the cast and guest stars are great, including the villain played by Tim Matheson. Christine Taylor stands out as Marcia, although it's impossible to ever out-do the awesome Maureen McCormick. The funniest subplot is the sudden infatuation between Greg and Marcia (when it dawns on them that they're not REALLY brother and sister and
) while one of the best sequences is the public pool scene, embellished by black versions of Jan and Marcia, lol.The film runs 90 minutes and was shot in Santa Monica & Los Angeles, CA, and Hawaii.GRADE: A-

Fans of the original series divide on this take-off of the show where Carol's original husband shows up alive, apparently looking for a lost treasure that could lead to a lot of money. The only good thing about it is that it would mean Greg and Marcia aren't really siblings anymore as they FINALLY realize what growing up means to their bodies.As with the first movie, some of the show's original scenarios are also played out, including Greg moving up to the attic, dating his sister's rival for cheerleader captain, as well as Marcia dating his rival on the basketball squad. Peter goes to work at his father's firm (I thought it was Greg who got the job in the original series), Jan still deals with her personal insecurities, Bobby becomes a junior detective, and Cindy is still obsessed with her doll.The only good thing that they got the rest of the scenarios in from the original series is that it means there won't be another sequel starring this clan of a misplaced family, stuck in the 70's.2 out of 10 stars is a gift, in my opinion.
