Plot Summary: The
Brady family, stuck in their 1970s sensibility, finds themselves
transported to the 1990s where their house is in jeopardy of
being sold due to unpaid taxes. A scheming neighbor, Larry
Dittmeyer, hopes to acquire their property to build a shopping
mall. The Brady kids, discovering the financial dilemma, work
together to try and raise the necessary funds to save their
home.

Dad's Preview: In the idle
days of my youth,
The Brady Bunch was always
on TV. I loved it, regardless of how innocent
and hokey it came across. It still cracks me
up... I mean, they had Astroturf in the
backyard! This is precisely why our movie here
works. Imagine the Brady family today in our
modern world! It's a riot. Their hair. Their
mannerisms. Their wise-cracking maid Alice! All
actors perfectly play the bunch, and it is a ton
of retro-fun. |
