I didn't care for the first "Brady Bunch" movie, but I enjoyed the second one because it savaged the Brady mentality more. When I heard the premise for this third movie, I thought it was a great premise. The square Bradys in a high position of power? It's ripe for humor.Unfortunately, I found most of the actual execution disappointing. First of all, the productions are inconsistent. Since this entry was made for TV, the budget was obviously slashed, and as a result much of the movie has a cheap feeling.The second was the acting. I admit that Canadian actor Saul Rubinek was amusing, and Shelley Long and Gary Cole (reprising their roles) give it their best as always, but I didn't care for the new actors cast in the Brady children roles. They seemed to just be reading their lines instead of really making real characters.But what's really disappointing about this movie is the writing. There is very little story after the Bradys get to the White House, just a bunch of vignettes with little to no relation to each other. And there is surprisingly less footage that you'd think of Mike and Carol Brady actually doing the duties of president/vice president. And what little footage there is is unimaginative. What if Mike Brady hosted Middle East peace talks? What if Carol Brady was interviewed by a political commentator like Rush Limbaugh? Nothing like those two examples ever happens here, despite the opportunities for humor being endless.Even if you're a fan of "The Brady Bunch", chances are you'll find little to laugh about here.

All and all it's a pretty fun romp despite some discrepancies. Just sit and enjoy the ride. A big plus also are the actors playing the Brady girls. I thought they were the best of the bunch for these parts considering that Christina Taylor, Elise Cox and Olivia Hack are too old for these parts right now.This movie is BAD, but I still find it quite charming. I've been a Brady Bunch fan for as long as I remember and I'm an even bigger fan of the two theatrical features that parody the show. The movie's title "The Brady Bunch in the White House" pretty much screams, ...ummm... well it screams something, what it is, I don't know, but it's pretty obvious that this made for TV movie wasn't trying to take itself too seriously.I did notice that the strengths of the first two theatrical features were in the way that the world treated the Bradys' wholesomeness. As long as the world outside of their house was as real as our own, the gimmick worked. It worked effectively in the first two movies, but in this one it suffers a bit because it seems that the world in this feature is just as kooky. Not wholesome or 70s groovy, just strange. This doesn't work in favor of the movie and it suffers because now all the Bradys have to work against is cartoon villains and strange sexual innuendo that doesn't gel as well this time around. Also, I never really liked how the movies portrayed Jan. I don't think she's at all like how the Jan I remember. Alice in the previous movies was a pretty good character and the actress brought new life to her. The Alice in this movie however doesn't look a thing like Alice. She does bring in enough energy though to sustain the illusion of Alice, but she physically doesn't look like an Alice. The script is pretty bad as well. It was obviously rushed.I still find it a cute addition to the Brady Bunch franchise and worth at least a watch. It's not that bad, I mean, it's not Gigli.

The Brady Bunch in the White House was a pretty good movie, much better than I expected it to be. There were no appearances by any of the original cast or crew, although the script was written by Lloyd Schwartz and Hope Juber (Sherwood Schwartz's son and daughter both of whom worked on or appeared on the original Brady Bunch TV series). I enjoyed the film as the casting was (in my opinion) better than in the first 2 Brady feature films where I think they cast the actors too old (e.g. Marcia in The Brady Bunch movie was played by a 25 year old.) The storyline was a bit far fetched with Mike becoming president of the United States, and Carol being both the Vice President and First Lady and the family moving into the white house. Peter played ball in the house and broke a priceless mink vase which starts leaking right in the middle of a state dinner :p The character of Jan is like in the 2 previous movies, making a bit of a mockery of her and her inner voices which I don't like as that only happened in one episode. I enjoyed all the references to old episodes made in the film. There were several musical numbers, some on a patriotic sort of line but also the well known songs Time to Change and the theme song were done by the new cast. There was only one part where there was an attraction between Greg and Marcia and only when they were in the underground safe zone cos they thought a metiorite was going to hit the earth and they would have to start a new civilisation ;)... Yeah so all in all I very much enjoyed the movie, at first it was difficult to adjust to the new faces for the kids and Alice (this Alice is tooo skinny :p) but Mike and Carol are the same and just as good as ever. This movie was released on DVD and VHS in Australia on the 23rd of May and was on US TV in November of 2002.

I would like to know why the producers, screen writers, casting directors or who EVER put this piece of junk together made the movie without all the original cast members?? I am a sentimental schmuck who loved the TV series and loved the first 2 movies. At least in the first two movies the kids LOOKED like the kids from the series.. Sadly in this one they don't.. And even though I knew that, I thought I would give this movie a go just to see if they made up for it in the writing etc.. I should have saved my money.. The writing was poor and nothing of the TV series' quirkiness made it into this movie at all. The only way you could tell it was based on the show was the title of the movie!! For those who haven't seen it... I recommend you don't bother..And for a Brady movie fan to say that... that is saying something..
