"The Brady Bunch" movie! (ugh!). The very thought makes me shudder. It is hard to imagine a send up of one of the most benign, dead-boring, square T.V. shows of the 70's, one which achieved a sort of sad cult status. Yet here it is in all its glory!?
The story tells us of the adventures of America's favourite family as they battle against an attempt to oust them from their beloved home and (horror of horrors) move them on. The singular gag is that the geeky Brady's are now living in the 90's, but still every bit as "70's" as they were twenty years ago.
The casting crew have done a marvellous job locating the look-a-likes required, and have excelled themselves in the Marcia, Jan and Cindy departments. Shelley Long's Carol Brady is great while both the original mom and Alice make surprise cameos.
Not a great deal to get excited about comedy wise, but enough to keep one awake, and seemingly enough to justify subjecting a new generation of young viewers to the "Brady Bunch" by resurrecting the old tele shows.
