What a disappointment
tryberg26 April 2002
This movie has been hyped to death and really wasn't that good. It was supposed to give us some extra insight into the actors and it really didn't. Don't get me wrong, it was cute and all, but I found that I didn't learn anything from it. Much of the footage was used over and over again. How many times are we expected to watch Marcia/Maureen stick out her tong at us in the Brady bedroom, or the girls chase each other on the beach?

The Real Brady Kids
slater99925 March 2010
Even if you've read all the books and watched the show multiple times in syndication, this movie really does give that extra bit of insight that one so rarely gets. Knowing the backdrop to some of the clips makes watching this even more enjoyable. For example, you can't help but see Barry Williams flirting with Florence Henderson as they relax in-between takes or see Barry looking moody in London, perhaps still sulking over being denied by Maureen. The revelation and footage to prove it (nothing but a bedsheet) that Eve Plumb was the wild one its completely surprising. This is probably the only thing that the actors might see some money from since they provided the footage so go out and buy it. The only real flaw is what is obviously a bargaining chip to get the likes of Maureen Mc Cormick to appear, that being, copious amounts of time given to promoting whatever it is they want promoted. In Maureen's case its a 5-minutes-too long clip of her singing country music. Its totally out of place. At least Eve Plumb had the class to simply put her paintings in shot rather than expect to be given a 10 minute slot extolling the virtues of still life art. Watch it, its great!

Their first reunion since the girls "got Married'" as "Carol" said.
Stebaer426 October 2005
It was a very good follow up of all of the stars just as famous for by their real/stage names as their a.k.a. Brady role names even if they didn't get to include all of their pre & post Brady roles.As well as a very good follow up to their previous reunion & even "reunions".Then in conclusion their sentiments of the late great Robert Reed of whom had despised his role of Mike Brady of which as indicated had beaten Gene Hackman to achieving but kept returning to because he loved all of his costars & while on Broadway & heard of "The Brady Girls get married." was in the works he then paid his way out of this show due to how nobody but him was going to "give" his "daughters" "away" as I'd found out on A&E's Biography follow-ups on both Robert Reed & The TV show of The Brady Bunch.The follow-up by all the costars of how they loved Bob was very sentimental too & especially that of Christopher Knight's due to how he was crying and saying how he would have liked to share many things with him before he had died of which many times is the case with a lost loved one. Also the A&E Biography follow up on Bob in conclusion told how as with the time of the original Brady Bunch series if it went further he'd have been written out as it was the same with The Bradys & of which is why it stopped where it had stopped. The Buck still can't stop there TV Show continuity wise for reunions but there just can't be any more pregnant jokes. The last one of which they had used was heard in "A Very Brady Christmas." As for The Brady Bunch Home Movies site itself where you can order the feature they discredit the role of Jan in this special to that of the stand in Jan from yes The Brady Bunch Variety Hour a.k.a. The Brady Bunch Hour instead of to the more famous Jan of whom is Eve Plumb. Sadly though getting it out on VHS & DVD it's just not the same with The Plain Color Backdrops saying So and So's Movies as it was when first seen on TV on May 8th,1995 with the photo intros and printing datas and telling the stars names and then a.k.a. their Brady Bunch Roles. So the bottom line is that the 10 star rating that I've given is only for the version with the photos with the stars names and a.k.a. Brady roles being printed from top to bottom.and Not for the plain color back drop intros telling their real names and home movies.So anyone out there who has a copy on vhs tape from that night please do work on releasing it get out to be sold.

Truthfully Stephen "Steve" G. Baer a.k.a. "Ste".
