CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
John Baliggafantt This movie was mega crap. The writers should be fired, flogged, and thrown into a lake ... and the actors should be tossed in after them. This movie seriously lacked in the intelligence category, but sure made up for it in the suckiness category. The way the (vey elderly) parents acted toward each other from the beginning of the movie, scared the heck out of me! they were gross, awkward, and flat out cheesy, not to mention disgusting. The way they were oblivious to the problems of their children, that seem to slap them in the face was incredibly unrealistic. There was a lot of singing in this movie too ... a heck of a lot. It was awkward as crap, and made you want to either throw all the actors off of a cliff, or toss yourself off of one. Peter wore the scariest onesy ever, to bed one night ... it was like watching your mother get her face ripped off by a zombie. Then, what's with Peter not having the guts to ask his hot girlfriend to marry him?? They end up asking each other on the count of 3 ... cut my neck off. And Cindy's problem was that she is the youngest......... like really??? She's supposed to be graduating college and she still hasn't gotten over that fact that she is the youngest? Geez grow the crap up! And Greg's stupid self looked like Mario with a lab coat. The way he made out with his wife in his office made me seriously consider rinsing with Listerine for the next hour and a half. And don't even get me started on Marcia's husband........ what a turd muncher!! He talked in this whiny voice and was always crying like a little girl about some stupid toy factory that was barely explained by these sorry excuse for screenplay writers! Every one of these pathetic "adults'" problems were summed up in a matter of seconds..... no really they were summed up in SECONDS........ which makes us all wonder....... why the freak did it take the whole movie to actually fix them? FINALLY, the movie ends with Mr. Brady having to go save 2 people from a crashing building. Why on earth an ancient architect would be more valuable than a seasoned firefighter squad will never be known, in this world or the next. He runs in to save them, only to get trapped himself like the douche bag he is. So instead of calling another architect, OR THE FREAKING POLICE FORCE! Everyone basically sits around for about 8 hours outside the building, hoping that SuperMike will pull himself out of the hole he's gotten in. After about 7 hours and 55 minutes, they all decide to sing a Christmas carol in celebration of his demise. Unfortunately, out comes Mr. Brady without a single scratch to spoil their high hopes of his death. Then, the movies ends with Sam the Butcher coming back to Alice after cheating on her. He makes an 8 second apology, and all is well that ends well. This movie is just the worst. on a scale of 1 to 10 this is a -18738479324794! If this movie doesn't send you to the Happy Farm, it'll leave you cutting your wrists or sending a bullet through your face. Thank the Good Lord that this sorry "film" (and I use that word loosely) didn't drag on longer than an hour and a half.
sj1840 Christmastime just isn't complete for me without watching this movie. The Brady family reuniting for the holidays always produces warm fuzzies for me. The original show was cheesy and so is this reunion movie, but it is also surprisingly well acted by every member of the ensemble cast and hits upon some real truths about family togetherness. Jennifer Runyon seamlessly fills the shoes of Susan Olsen in this yuletide gathering, Maureen McCormick is as beautiful as ever, and Florence Henderson is still the sunniest and most perky television mom around. A TV movie can get away with being sappy if it's focused around Christmas, and this movie succeeds on every level as a feel-good holiday reunion film.
dagandkate I just watched this awful awful movie again last night. The dysfunctionality of the clan, which was somewhat hidden, was in full force for viewing (dis)pleasure.Marcia's husband lost his job, and she just ignored his pain, and talked up her family christmas plans. Jan was a cruel bitch to her husband. Marcia's kid tormented Greg's kid, calling him the "slug". Greg not only allowed it, but didn't correct the brat. Jan and her husband reconcile in a cheesy way, with Carol Brady present, and she encourages them to be late for breakfast to have sex.Greg's wife works with him as his nurse.(how creepy is that by the way? A gynecologist who works with his wife as he examines women's privates is pretty ummm odd). Greg has shlepped to her family's house for christmas several years straight, but she refuses to go with him, so he and the kid go with out her.The classic moment in this movie is the Christmas tree scene. The "men" walk into the house carrying the tree, singing the first few lines of "Deck the Halls", the women, pick up in harmony, in time, and they perform a male/female duet. Even Peter's girlfriend, who had never been there before, knew when it was her turn to sing.To sum up, the writer has some deep seated issues with women. They are pretty much all terrible. At the end, Sam, who had been cheating around, offers a quick apology to Alice, she accepts, and 2 seconds later, Carol doesn't allow them time to reconnect, because it's time for another sing a long.This is a very very very bad movie. I watch it every year. I recommend it!
movie boy No one ever claimed that the Brady's are award winning material, and that's fine with me. We don't watch the Bradys for mental stimulation, we watch them to make us feel like a kid again. Sure the plot is corny, the script is weak and the acting is as cheesy as ever, but isn't that what makes the Bradys special? No one can tell me that "Don't be sorry, just be Wally" isn't one of the greatest lines in Brady history. Those of you who choose to bash the Bradys should maybe chill out a little and realize that the Bradys have been around for over thirty years because loyal fans like me can appreciate the whole corny thing. I will continue to watch it every Christmas and I invite everyone else to as well. Long live the Bradys
