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.
