Theatrical report
A TV series to movie crossover sequel that is better than both the TV series and the original movie.
If you don't know the TV show you won't understand this film at all. If you do and you loved it, then you'll love this. If you do and you hated it, you'll still hate it, but at least you'll get to see someone taking the piss out of the Bradys for a couple of hours.
Like the first movie, A very Brady sequel consists of elements from the TV series wrapped around a TV-type plot, none of which would be at all interesting if there weren't retro, trash and rehash fads all over the place. The actors were chosen for their ability to mimic the original look and performance, but they are all more than capable in their own right. And they are painfully good at resurrecting the Bradys. Love/hate doesn't begin to describe the relationship I have with that family.
What you have here is a repackaging for the late baby boomers and the early genxers. At last, something that young people can look back on with rose tinted glasses. Enough rock and roll, enough flower power, bring on the plastics revolution! It's bright, it's perky, it's happening in a far out way. It's also saved by being set in the 90s as the juxtaposition of temporally incompatible cultures and mores creates a climate for conflict, and the opportunity to comment on the changes which have overcome Australia's fast-changing society in the past 20 years.
Jeez, I can write some crap when I set my mind to it. Perhaps it's because I was both addicted to and traumatised by the Bradys. But I wouldn't be me without them. Sigh. Make sure you see it before the next sequel comes out.
