The Brady Bunch in the White House

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.

Of all the films I have seen, songs I have heard and books I read, this is without doubt the one piece of art that people will continue to appreciate with awed reverence 500 years from now. It totally changed my life. When I saw it, I felt that I had been born on this Earth to be at this particular place and this particular time to experience this incredible feat of human artistic excellence. I am absolutely convinced that it will make stars out of every single actor associated with this film, and will one day win the Nobel Prize for Literature for its scriptwriters. While the Brady Bunch is a milestone of Western Civilisation, and the Whitehouse one of its greatest architectural monuments, no mere mortal would have ever thought to put them together. But the producers of this movie are clearly no mere mortals. The staggering genius on display here simply takes the breath away. The words simply do not exist to describe this film. Watching it, I clearly felt the presence of the Lord. If Leonardo da Vinci were alive today and had a movie camera, I have no doubt he would be making films like this, as well as pornos. Look upon this work, ye mighty, and despair.

As a maybe, 50% fan of the original series The Brady Bunch, when I heard about the first movie parody of the Brady Bunch, I was excited. And the movie was hysterical. I loved it! It was so funny and dead on to what us in the 90's thought of 'the bunch'. "A Very Brady Sequel" which reunited all of the castmembers of the first flick wasn't half bad either. I thought it was real funny. SO when I tuned into this movie, I thought I'd give it a try. BUT IT IS RUBBISH!!!! The first two redid some of the original storylines which made it funny, but this one put the bradys in the whitehouse... uh huh. Also NONE of the kids are played by the same actors. What's the point? This is a piece of garbage and I can not believe money was actually spent MAKING this! I give it a BIG 0/10 and I recommend going out and seeing The Ring in the theatre or renting Frailty from a video store. Don't waste your time or you may end up missing a piece of your brain.

The entire premise behind the "New" Brady movies has pretty much been run into the ground. Yes, they are clueless. Yes, they are from an age that never actually existed. Yes, we can all see the references to old Brady episodes sprinkled throughout the movie. (Mikes plans in the tube, the broken vase from playing ball in the house, Jan jealous of Marcia, etc., etc.) but it is just not funny the third time around. Mike becomes president because of his insistence of finding out who owns a lottery ticket Bobby found. Hilarity is supposed to ensue when the evil of Washington takes on the blissful naive goodness of the Brady's. It's just one joke though. It is funny a couple of times, but mostly it is the theatrical movies scripts put into a cheap White House set. Nothing new here, except the kids that play the Brady children.

Whoever came up with the idea for this TV movie should be slapped a few times.

Gary Cole and Shelley Long reprise their roles as Carol and Mike Brady in the "third" installment to the Brady Bunch spoof series.

The first two films, which were theatrically released in the 90s, were pathetic, stupid, seriously overacted, but hilarious. This time around, though, all roles accept for Mike and Carol were recast, and the child actors have little talent.

In this installment, Bobby finds a 67 million dollar winning lottery ticket. The Bradys try to find the owner of this ticket (they apparently don't live by the "finders, keepers" creed), and somehow Mike gets elected as President of the United States. Meanwhile, Greg Brady has fallen for a Whitehouse employee who is working to bring the Brady family down, and Carol becomes vice-president to the horror of Congress.

A downright horrible TV movie that shouldn't have been made.
