All and all it's a pretty fun romp despite some discrepancies. Just sit and enjoy the ride. A big plus also are the actors playing the Brady girls. I thought they were the best of the bunch for these parts considering that Christina Taylor, Elise Cox and Olivia Hack are too old for these parts right now.
This movie is BAD, but I still find it quite charming. I've been a Brady Bunch fan for as long as I remember and I'm an even bigger fan of the two theatrical features that parody the show. The movie's title "The Brady Bunch in the White House" pretty much screams, ...ummm... well it screams something, what it is, I don't know, but it's pretty obvious that this made for TV movie wasn't trying to take itself too seriously.
I did notice that the strengths of the first two theatrical features were in the way that the world treated the Bradys' wholesomeness. As long as the world outside of their house was as real as our own, the gimmick worked. It worked effectively in the first two movies, but in this one it suffers a bit because it seems that the world in this feature is just as kooky. Not wholesome or 70s groovy, just strange. This doesn't work in favor of the movie and it suffers because now all the Bradys have to work against is cartoon villains and strange sexual innuendo that doesn't gel as well this time around. Also, I never really liked how the movies portrayed Jan. I don't think she's at all like how the Jan I remember. Alice in the previous movies was a pretty good character and the actress brought new life to her. The Alice in this movie however doesn't look a thing like Alice. She does bring in enough energy though to sustain the illusion of Alice, but she physically doesn't look like an Alice. The script is pretty bad as well. It was obviously rushed.
I still find it a cute addition to the Brady Bunch franchise and worth at least a watch. It's not that bad, I mean, it's not Gigli.
