Charming satire
7 September 2022
I was surprised by how funny I found this one. Gary Cole, Shelley Long, Christine Taylor, and Michael McKean are all treats, and the rest of the main cast are formidable as well. The way television portrays American family values across generations is a gold mine for satire, and what's great about The Brady Bunch movie is that it doesn't feel mean spirited. It simultaneously pays homage to and spoofs the original sitcom. Jan's pathological envy of her older sister is particularly funny, as are Gary Cole's speeches about family unity that seem to go in circles forever. This is a perfect example of what a spoof movie should be.
