A Very Brady Sequel is a very good movie. All the actors did well here, especially Shelly Long, Gary Cole, Jennifer Elise Cox and Tim Mathieson. The funny situations, quotes, tone and style of this movie help hide the fact that not all that much really happens and the premise of this film is absurd.

One of the biggest questions that fans often had about the show was the taboo subject of whether any of the Brady kids hooked up. A Very Brady Sequel tackles this issue head-on with Greg and Marcia trying to decide whether they should give in to the urges they start to feel for each other. This whole subplot was very interesting, if not also a little uncomfortable at times. Christopher Daniel Barnes and Christine Taylor are great as Greg and Marcia.

The one role that I felt was perfectly done and helped the movie out the most is Jennifer Elise Cox as Jan Brady. She does an even better job with the role then the original Jan, Eve Plumb. Almost all the scenes with Jan are funny and Jennifer just shines through.

Obviously, fans of The Brady Bunch are going to get the most enjoyment out of this. For a newcomer, you might want to check out a few episodes of the TV show first.

A VERY BRADY SEQUEL was the 1996 sequel to THE BRADY BUNCH MOVIE which tries to touch upon all the episodes of the classic TV series that the first movie didn't. The paper-thin premise of this sequel centers on the appearance of a shady con-man (Tim Matheson) who arrives on the Bradys' doorstep claiming to be Carol's long-lost first husband, who, according to this film's opening scene, was lost at sea. The con-man is really there to get his hands on a statue that has sat in the background of every episode of the TV show and we now learn that it is part of a set and worth a lot of money. But the funniest part of this movie for me is a subplot in which after Roy's arrival, Greg (Christopher Daniel Barnes) and Marcia (Christine Taylor) learn they may not be brother and sister and start lusting after each other. This is, of course, a knowing nod to all those who have read Barry Williams' book GROWING UP BRADY where he confesses to having been madly in love with Maureen McCormick and had trouble looking at her in a sisterly way when they were working. This movie addresses this in a hysterical scene where Greg and Marcia are sharing the room in the attic and start undressing in silhouette. This scene is cleverly shot and perfectly performed by Barnes and Taylor. The rest of the cast has settled comfortably into their roles for this sequel, especially Gary Cole, who is just spooky as Robert Reed as Mike Brady and Jennifer Elise Cox, who steals every scene she is in as Jan. The fun peters out before a truly lame finale, but for true fans, there is fun to be had here.

This quick cash-in sequel to the 1995 Brady Bunch Movie is surprisingly really quite good - The wonderfully tongue-in-cheek Shelley Long and Gary Cole make this worth watching just for their performances alone and the story is quite good if a little far-fetched. Tim Matheson stars as Shelley Long's EX-Husband or is he? If your feeling low - this movie will certainly bring a smile to the face if nothing else!

MY Rating 8/10

Okay, I'm glad that they made a sequel to the original film. In this film, Carol's first husband, Roy Martin, supposedly returns to reunite with his beautiful wife and three blonde daughters. Unfortunately, he's not who or what he appears to be. He seems trapped in Brady's world where cable television is far too out there for them and where dysfunctional seems to be the norm. Greg and Marcia get new digs in the attic with creepy sexual tension between them while Jan fakes a new boyfriend. I love the coffee house scene where Greg and Marcia are double dating and where Jan and her fake boyfriend show up. Well, the fake first husband is only after Carol to get a horse that could pay him 20 million dollars to Hawaii to the anxious buyer. Yes, the plane ride to Hawaii is one to remember. There's singing and dancing and those Bradys are at it again. It's just a fun film to watch over and over. Nothing serious!

After The Brady Bunch Movie was a surprisingly success in 1995, just a year later, A Very Brady Sequel was made, continuing the line of Brady Bunch movies that were paying homage to the original series, but also lampooning them by parodying their cheeriness and their persistent nice-ness.

In my original review of The Brady Bunch Movie, which I did in song (I also planned to do this one in song as well, but we all need to be serious sooner or later), I took the original Television show's theme song and rewrote the lyrics to replicate my thoughts on the film. I said in the third verse, "And if one day I'm strick-en with cyni-cism. And you look onto this review as not groovy. You can go on to not trust me. After I enjoyed The Brady Bunch Movie." I suppose the same line is valid in this review too. I'm not necessarily proud that I enjoyed both film adaptations, but there are times when we can not help what we liked. Again, from the first frame, I enjoyed the Brady's overwhelming eccentricities.

The storyline is pure simplicity; the Brady's are stuck in the seventies while the whole world has kindly shifted into the nineties, therefore, capturing the idea that the Brady's, while timeless, are also pretty outdated. Mike Brady (reprised by Gary Cole) is contemplating what to give his darling gold-haired wife, Carol (Shelley Long) for their anniversary, but in the nick of time, a man claiming to be Carol's first husband named Roy (Tim Matheson) shows up and tries to win Carol back. In reality, he's a snaky con-man, searching for a statue of a marble horse.

While the family naively welcomes Roy back home, Greg is hasty about the whole thing, yet never questions if something is really behind this alleged miracle. It is never truly said, however, how Roy managed to know all there was to know about the family, but nevermind that small little detail. The subplots follow other Brady characters, as expected, such as Jan trying to boast to the family about her new boyfriend, "George Glass" (who is imaginary), Marcia and Peter possibly falling in love, and the family traveling to Hawaii in the latter half of the picture.

Again, much like the original film, the whole idea and premise is a little anarchic, but not to the point of utter senselessness. We do not get much in the area of outsider reactions, but we didn't in the first one either, so perhaps it wasn't the filmmaker's prime intent. There are certain pictures we can not help but like, and The Brady Bunch films are two of mine. They're silly, deranged, yet deeply, weirdly satisfying and self-aware - the best part of all.

Starring: Gary Cole, Shelley Long, Tim Matheson, Henriette Mantel, Christopher Daniel Barnes, Christine Taylor, Paul Sutera, Jennifer Elise Cox, and Jesse Lee Soffer. Directed by: Arlene Stanford.

If you're familiar with the classic tv show the Brady Bunch then this is a comedy for you. A movie full of funny references and humour that will entertain you for a whole night. Although nothing to take seriously, nor something that could be classed as cinematic masterpiece, A Very Brady Sequel is a lighthearted and fun movie for the whole family to enjoy.

This satiric sequel is a rare exception--it's better than the original. Highlights include Jan's made-up boyfriend, George Glass, Marcia and Greg's awkward sexual attraction, a cameo by Zsa Zsa Gabor and Rosie O'Donnel, not one but TWO musical dance numbers, Marcia's obvious wig in her scene at the pool, Jan losing her contact lens while driving, Mr. and Mrs. Brady's hilariously obvious sexual innuendo, Alice's spaghetti with "special mushrooms," the family trip to Hawaii, and the (brief) return of Tiger, the dog. There's a lot more funny stuff too!

While the original was all about the Brady's living in the 90s, the sequel is more concerned with the wacky misadventures the characters get themselves into. The comedy is intensified when other non-Brady's (people of the 90s) react to the Brady family. Fortunately, the Brady's are still oblivious to the fact that they aren't living in the 1970's anymore, so we can keep on laughing at the ridiculousness of the situations they are placed in.

Honestly, it is such a funny, underrated comedy...RENT IT!

If you watched the original Brady bunch show, this sequel is more of the same silliness from the first movie with some new storyline and cameos. It's a good laugh!

"A Very Brady Sequel" lacked what made the first one funny and entertaining. In "The Brady Bunch Movie" the most laughs were garnered through the time warped Bradys and the rest of society. They didn't have that same interaction this time around except through the scheister, Trevor Thomas (Tim Matheson). He wasn't their only real world interaction, but he constituted the bulk of their real world interaction.

They also explored a taboo area with a potential romance between Greg (Christopher Daniel Barnes) and Marcia (Christine Taylor) Brady. It was funny at first then it got weird. So, for me, the sequel is a thumbs down although it's not horrible.

Another hilarious effort here, and once again the references from the TV show spring up all over the place. Pretty creative how they made that ugly, ever-present horse statue near the staircase the focal point of the movie, with Tim Matheson (who ironically portrayed the oldest child in the "Yours, Mine and Ours", the late '60s movie that inspired the whole Brady Bunch thing to begin with!) claiming to be Carol Brady's long-lost first husband so he can claim that "valuable" statue as his own. Heck, they even managed to incorporate the Brady Kids cartoon into the movie with the hysterical "Tripping with the Bradys" sequence (complete with Ping and Pong the pandas and Marlon the magic mynah bird!). If there's ever going to be a third Bunch movie, here's hoping they incorporate the short-lived Variety hour into it (featuring Greg pushing Peter into the swimming pool!) and maybe even a special appearance by Martha Quinn!

If you were a fan of the first "Brady Bunch Movie," you'll probably find this sequel enjoyable as well. The whole cast has now slipped effortlessly into their roles (especially Gary Cole's absolutely spot-on mannerisms of Robert Reed/Mike Brady) The story and jokes this time tend to start petering out near the end, but on the whole there are enough laughs, satiric jabs and nostalgic winks to inspire good will towards the whole film. It's fluff, to be sure....but entertaining fluff.

It turns out that the horse statue in the Brady family living room is a priceless artifact unbeknownst to the Bradys. The gang is back with the same satirical take on the 70s TV family. Tim Matheson plays the mysterious man who shows up claiming to be Carol Brady's first husband Roy. Carol doesn't recognize him but he claims to be disfigured by an elephant. Everybody buys into the story as he tries to steal the horse.

The gang is still fun satire but Tim Matheson adds nothing to the movie. The setup needs to be more natural and not so stupid. The family should be the only ones doing silly things. Also they keep pushing Marcia and Greg together. Everything is just a little bit too awkward. The first Brady Bunch movie is much more in keeping with the ideas of the original TV show.

Bright, easy-to-take follow-up to 1995's "The Brady Bunch Movie", a spot-on (if not especially hilarious) send-up of the kitschy '70s TV series about a widower with three boys who marries a single mother with three girls. The television show never explained what happened to Carol Brady's first husband, which is the engaging starting point for this plot. Tim Matheson shows up claiming to be the long-lost father of Marcia, Jan and Cindy--but is he an imposter? Has the same wonderful sets and color schemes from the 1995 movie, and the same cast is reassembled in high style, but the basic problems from before remain: weak, repetitive gags and in-jokes stolen from the TV show retold without any irony (only camp value). Mixture of silly, harmless laughs and groaners make the results enjoyable for fans, but intolerable to anyone else. ** from ****

Although both Brady movies are entertaining, the sequel is easily the better of the two. The plot works in a lot of things from the old tv show that are fun to spot. It's fun to poke fun at the Bradys, yet there's a sort of sweetness to the family unity thing too. The talented Gary Cole is uncanny as Mike Brady. This is a fun, lightweight film.

Still super weird (sibling love) and sporadically funny ("scule"), but so much of the fish-out-of-water stuff that made the original a modern classic is gone. Also, Tim Matheson is far too aware and winky.

Another of the rare breed of sequels-better-than-the-original movies, A Very Brady Sequel continues with the idea of the 70's Brady's being stuck in the present (in this case, the mid-90's) from the first film. While the original movie was very funny (grunge music nonwithstanding), the total lack of a plot was a pretty obvious hole.

This time around we're actually treated to a decent storyline (as relative as can be to the entire Brady aura, that is) involving Mrs. Brady's first, long-lost husband, Roy. This adds a whole additional avenue for laughs as we now have an straight outsider thrust directly into the everyday realm of the Bradys. As he tries to enact his nefarious scheme, he's dragged kicking and screaming through their loopy antics, breakout songs and Mr. Brady's lectures.

The same Brady cast returns and they're as spot-on as ever. A bulk of the laughs continue to go to insecure Jan, as she tries to convince everyone she's a viable person. A new "incest" angle is introduced between Greg and Marcia ("Does this mean we're not really brother and sister?") that plays very well throughout. Tim Matheson is an excellent addition as Roy Brady, and he gets some scene stealing parts as well, particularly when he ends up "tripping with the Bradys".

While Sam seems to have disappeared in this one, we do see a couple of other Brady icons who seemed to have been missed in the first movie, though blink and you'll miss them. Surprisingly no real-life cameos in this one.

As with the first movie, the more familiar you are with the TV series the more you will enjoy this movie. If you've never watched the Bradys then you'll probably want to skip these movies as most of the laughs are derived from inside references to the episodes, but if you have, then this is highly recommended and one of my faves.

The Brady Bunch Movie was a funny, fairly innocuous movie based on the popular TV show from the 1970s.

A lot of the humor in that film came from references to the original show that inspired it and a great fish out of water premise with the Brady's acting as if they lived in the 1970's but were actually living in the 1990's.

The movie had its share of laughs but might have been funnier if you were a die hard fan of the series or if they had more outsiders to react to the different times the Brady's lived in.

There wasnt much of a contrast between the Brady's and normal people in the first film, however as in the case with The Addams Family films the filmmakers realized that the second time around and improved on that premise.

Adding Tim Matheson's character into the mix as an outsider pretending to be Mrs. Brady's long lost husband and having him adapt to their lives is what makes the sequel funnier.

It gets a lot more laughs by having an outsider in the Brady world.

So the sequel is funnier for that reason, however in the first film there were only a couple moments that pushed boundaries and it was a safe PG-13 film.

The sequel seems to want to be more in the territory of being PG-13 but coming close to bordering on R rated territory and that is a good and bad change for this second outting.

The good produces a hilarious joke with Alice the maid accidentally slipping drugs into Tim Matheson's dinner along with a hilarious gag of him hallucinating.

The bad however is that there is a very gross subplot about Greg and Marcia being attracted to each other after realizing they may not legally be brother and sister.

This subplot starts off funny but becomes more awkward and unpleasant as it gets dragged out. Less jokes about this could have made a much better film.

Unlike its predecessor which I would say is a fairly appropriate film for the pre-teen audience, this sequel seems to push the edge as much as it can before going into full blown R rated comedy.

Again the selling point here is Tim Matheson's character. His outsider view is what produces more laughs here and what was sorely missing in the first film.

Some things dont work here for sure and there is a bit of awkwardness that didnt bog down the first film. But outside of that there is still a lot of laughs to be had and I laughed enough to confidently say I enjoyed this sequel.

Be prepared to cringe at some parts but be prepared to laugh a lot as well, maybe even more than the first film.

Sequel to The Brady Bunch Movie. The Brady's meet a man called Roy Martin who claims to be carol's lost husband. But this man turns out to be an imposter . . .

Nice concept, but it just didn't work for this movie (although funnier than the Brady Bunch Movie). But still a nice try to make a parody of not only the 1964 Brady Bunch series, but also of the whole "American Dream" concept of the late 60's.

So my advise to you: watch this movie only in combination with alcohol, then you probably get a good laugh out of it. Or you can concentrate on one of Hollywood's worst: Shelley Long. Cause her acting performance in this movie is also worth a few good laughs.

After the great success of "The Brady Bunch Movie" in 1995 the producers didn't waste time in offering a sequel the very next year that's even better. Both films poke fun at the Brady's wholesome and unified spirit, but also highlight their early-70's outlandishness by having the stories take place in the mid-90s. Yet these movies are never meanspirited; there's a welcome warmheartedness.

The cast & guest stars are great, including the villain played by Tim Matheson. Christine Taylor stands out as Marcia, although it's impossible to ever outdo the awesome Maureen McCormick. Jennifer Elise Cox also stands out as Jan, as does Gary Cole as Mike Brady. Shelley Long is effective as Carol Brady burdened by that absurd hairdo.

I'm giving this a fairly high grade because it's funny and entertaining from beginning to end. The funniest subplot is the sudden infatuation between Greg and Marcia (after it dawns on them that they're not REALLY brother and sister) while one of the best sequences is the public pool scene, embellished by black versions of Jan, Marcia & Cindy.

The film runs 90 minutes and was shot in Santa Monica & Los Angeles, CA, and Hawaii.

GRADE: A-

Greg & Marcia Attracted to each other is sick ,s-i-c-k, sick yes that's right even though they're not blood related it's still sick not only as a coworker of mine from my old theater job agreed & of which is why she'd never think of falling in love with her step brother but along with how it's not right when they're brought up under the same roof but as another old coworker of mine of whom is a lead usher agreed about & as I'd explained to him was a very good point as Carol explained to Bobby on the TV Show "The only steps in this house are those the ones that go up to your bedroom now you get up there right now."Maybe as many reviews that I've heard & read said that this was better than the first as even my sister Elaine thought but as I even told her that "I personally don't think so." Also maybe there were some good recreations as in the first one & I did like the Moesha sequence of which the loose base on reality is that when least expected you see reflections of yourself & others in others as even I've also had experienced.I also liked Mike's Punch of which showed a sudden face of Mike of which we'd never seen before even on the TV Show but other than these this also goes too far with Greg & Marcia attracted to each other. Normally the Brady Bunch is Stevie's favorite family but not this time around,sad to say but still very much so.This movie is also really so very agreeably A Very Sorry Sequel.Let's see more of the original cast in another TV-Reunion Movie as well as an edited version of this one without having Greg & Macia being attracted to each other.
