La famiglia Brady

Yes, Marcia was my favorite character in this movie. In the TV show, Maureen McCormick was the best looking of the three girls. In this movie, Christine Taylor gives Maureen a run for her money. In my opinion, Christine actually takes the money. Despite too much makeup, Christine is very, very cute. She also plays Marcia to perfection. Marcia is depicted as being conceited. Not an admirable quality, but she absolutely had something to be conceited about. On the other hand, Jan is a total goof, and her jealousy of Marcia gets tiresome. The story is basically entertaining, in terms of the many references to the TV show. What doesn't quite work is the blending of the Bradys with 90s characters and sensibilities. The 90s style references come across like an attack on the wholesome image of the TV show. Having the Bradys facing possible eviction was a place this movie didn't need to go to. The movie is a mixed bag, but there's enough positive stuff to make it work. There are cameos by several original cast members. Most notably, Barry Williams, Ann B Davis and Florence Henderson. The appearance of these original actors works very much to the movie's benefit. Christine Taylor, with her beauty and fine performance, was the only one on the same level as the original TV show actors.
