Why watch this? If
you watched this family sitcom on TV, then this is for you.
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:
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 this movie 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.
