If you're going to make a movie of The Brady Bunch, this is the way to do it! Mr. Brady's in trouble; he must pay $20,000 in property taxes or his house will be up for auction. The Brady kids get together and attempt to raise the needed money while middle-child Jan Brady pouts over her older sister's good looks and personality. This one joke premise centers around this very 60's family being placed in the 90's with their vocabulary, clothes, jokes, songs out-of-date. The actors strikingly resemble the original cast, especially Christine Taylor's Marcia Brady. It more or less parodies the television show and is quite funny in doing it but the joke wears thin. Brady fans must look out for some of the original cast members. There is a sequel: A Very Brady Sequel.
