Never that's when. This is one of the very, very few exceptions. The first Brady movie was all about showing how much different things had become from the 1970's to 1995. Kind of how they do nowadays with smart phones and I Phones in movies. No one cares about internet jargon. Whats the difference concerning such small comparisons? Why are they necessary in movies and television? There is no difference; as far as how cool everyone is, compared to how stupid everyone was. That is just plan mean and exclusionary. No one wants to watch a movie that focuses on negatives. The second Brady Bunch movie was completely different, than the first movie. It was more like the original television series; that is why it was ten times better.

A Very Brady Sequel (1996): Dir: Arlene Sanford / Cast: Shelley Long, Gary Cole, Tim Matheson, Christopher Daniel Barnes, Christine Taylor: Every bit as dumb as The Brady Bunch Movie only far worse and dirtier. When a priceless statue is uncovered it somehow ends up in the Brady home. It seems to be a routine day. The two youngest children play detective to find a missing doll. Dad brings middle son to the job site. Mother gets her hair done. Jan pretends to have a secret boyfriend. Greg and Marcia argue as to who will shack up in the attic. Then Tim Matheson shows up claiming to be Carol's first husband but he is really there to find the statue. Ads emphasize Hawaii but only the last twenty minutes take place there. The relationship between Greg and Marcia all but screams incest. Director Arlene Sanford fails to realize the sitcom for what it was and as a result we are subject to humour that would not have in the series. With that said fans of the sitcom will no doubt find this film offensive. As for the cast, Gary Cole and Shelley Long are cardboard as Mike and Carol in all their happy flare. Matheson plays a cardboard villain who grows to detest the glee and sing-song attitude of this family. The children are reduced to horny teenage updates primped to be the next tabloid fix. The result is a pointless escapade that should be buried. Score: 1 / 10

Okay, I'm glad that they made a sequel to the original film. In this film, Carol's first husband, Roy Martin, supposedly returns to reunite with his beautiful wife and three blonde daughters. Unfortunately, he's not who or what he appears to be. He seems trapped in Brady's world where cable television is far too out there for them and where dysfunctional seems to be the norm. Greg and Marcia get new digs in the attic with creepy sexual tension between them while Jan fakes a new boyfriend. I love the coffee house scene where Greg and Marcia are double dating and where Jan and her fake boyfriend show up. Well, the fake first husband is only after Carol to get a horse that could pay him 20 million dollars to Hawaii to the anxious buyer. Yes, the plane ride to Hawaii is one to remember. There's singing and dancing and those Bradys are at it again. It's just a fun film to watch over and over. Nothing serious!

We may wonder why they would make a sequel, given that the original series is widely considered so fluffy. But "A Very Brady Sequel" isn't half bad. Portraying a man (Tim Matheson) showing up at the Bradys' house and announcing that he was Carol's first husband long believed dead, the movie pulls some neat tricks. The whole thing about "George Glass" was kinda funny.So, there's nothing particularly special here, but it's an OK way to pass time. Like in the first movie, we can definitely see the contrast between the 1970s and 1990s. Also starring Richard Belzer, Barbara Eden and David Spade in small roles.
