The popular 70s TV show makes a graceful transition to the big screen in this light-hearted feature that's part parody and part homage. The plot here (about a ruthless land developer who wants to buy the Brady home) is secondary to the playful juxtaposition of the Brady's era with our own. The film dotes on the peculiarities of 70s fashion and lingo with an almost religious fervor. The kids seem as lost in their wide-collared, pastel shirts as they do in their anachronistic moral universe. Marcia, for instance, is oblivious to the come-ons from a lesbian friend and she haughtily informs a date that she doesn't go to "third base." Several members of the original cast make cameo appearances.

Pleasantly amusing comedy that exploits the gap between the fantasy of family relationships and the reality, though it will mean most to viewers of the original TV sitcom.

Why did they bother?
This is a terrible movie. I cant see who it is aimed at. If its for those who remember the original series its way too cheesey. For those too young to remember ... read more »
The movie remake of long-running television drama Dallas is now to be directed by Betty Thomas, following the replacement of two previous directors and numerous cast changes. According to Empire Online, Thomas - who was responsible for The Brady Bunch Movie, Dr Doolittle and I Spy - will take on the project despite it being mostly without a cast and in the middle of script rewrites. John Travolta has been attached to the film recently, as a possible JR Ewing, while Jennifer Lopez was originally Read more
