During the past few years, movie adaptations of TV shows have become synonymous with horrendous, pathetic garbage (think "The Flintstones", "I Spy" and "Bewitched", among others). "The Brady Bunch Movie" is one that got it right. Even people who don't know the original series - or hold it in low regard - can admire this movie. You see, the problem with most TV show adaptations is that they transpose the characters to the modern world, thereby taking them out of context. This movie has the eponymous wholesome family living in the 1990s but time-locked in the 1970s, thus enabling a comparison/contrast between the two eras.
The plot has the Bradys trying to keep from getting evicted, while Jan gets jealous of Marcia and Greg tries to start up a career as a singer. There are some scenes taken straight from the show, such as what happens to Marcia's nose, and Cindy having to learn about tattling. It's just a hoot how the Bradys are nice to even the meanest people.
So, it's not any kind of masterpiece, but pretty neat. The sequel was OK.
