I adored the first `Brady Bunch' movie. I was such a huge fan of the show (reruns) as a child and to watch the sitcom get ripped apart in such a respectful way (you can tell that they wanted to honor the films ridiculousness as apposed to trash it) gave me such a warm and fuzzy feeling all over. What is nice about this `Brady Bunch' sequel is that it builds off the same scenario, trapping the Brady's in a time warp where there brand of style and general life keeps them segregated from the rest of society, and in doing this they have set themselves up for ample laughs. What is sad at the same time though is that a lot of the laughs seem repetitive, as if we've seen this once before.
The film follows the Brady's as they are faced with a wrench in their tightly knit family circle. Yes, a man shows up at their front door claiming to be Carol's long presumed dead husband Roy Martin. Roy is actually Trevor, an imposter wanting to get his hands on a priceless artifact that Roy gave to Carol before he disappeared. The Brady's are oblivious to this though, and their lovely home begins to crumble as this man begins to take root in their lives.
The real story though is taking place in the attic, where Greg and Marcia find themselves rooming together. Finally realizing that they aren't technically brother and sister their attraction to one another starts burning a whole in their conscience for it just seems so wrong yet feels so right.
Thanks to the spot on acting done on the part of the entire Brady clan (Long, Cole, Taylor, Barnes, Cox, Sutera, Hack & Soffer) not to mention the witty script that keeps fresh in mind all the reasons we loved and or hated the inspiration, `A Very Brady Sequel' serves up some very worthy laughs. Christine Taylor (who honestly should have received an Oscar nomination for her performance in `The Brady Bunch Movie') is not necessarily best-in-show here, her performance being upstaged by actors such as Jennifer Elise Cox, who does an extraordinary Jan.
Like I mentioned on the outset, the film does seem a bit repetitious at times, and the original was funnier in my opinion (maybe because it felt so much fresher). I wasn't too thrilled about the throwbacks to other popular sitcoms (`I Dream of Genie' and `Gilligan's Island') being littered into the script, although the `Gilligan' riff was pretty funny. The plot involving Carol's husband was a bit of a stretch, but it served its purpose in giving this sequel a purpose. In the end it delivered the laughs and was consistent so I'd recommend it, but I won't say that it was better than the first because the first was almost too good to be true.

My daughter and I LOVE this movie!!!! - B. Reddoor - Box Elder, MT USA
This is a favorite movie of my daughters and mine. Before we had our satellit service brought back, we had nothing but a lot of VHS movies to watch. Well between the Elmo tapes and The Muppet movies, we had 'A Very Brady Sequel'. Now she was only four or five at the time, but she loved that movie so much, we HAD to watch it at least twice a day, EVERY day. The whole movie is just really fun and as a child growing up in the latter part of the 70's, I can remember the clothing and assorted references to that era. Jan has always been my favorite. Well as luck would have it, I found that old VHS tape and wouldn't you know it, the VCR is broke. Well my daughter is 10 now and still has fond memories of that time when it was just us two and that movie. She can't wait to see it again real soon. Thank you Amazon for letting me know its out there and that we are not alone in our love for this movie. This will definitely be among my next purchases.
