Trivia:

Christopher Daniel Barnes, who plays Greg Brady here, was among the cast of the NBC TV series "Day by Day" (1988), as Ross Harper. In a memorable 1989 episode, Ross Harper falls asleep and dreams he is Chuck Brady, the "lost" Brady, in a very clever "Brady Bunch" reunion, with much of the original cast appearing.

Goofs:

Continuity: When Marcia goes to her drawer to see if Jan had taken her knee socks, you see her open the drawer with the left hand. However, when a close shot is shown it appears she has opened the drawer with her right hand.

Mind Blowing!

For anyone old enough to have seen the original series, this movie truly blows the lid off of the whole TV show and pokes fun at the whole whole family and concept at every turn. They easily could have done a formula tv-ish movie and instead they make a complete parody that is screamingly funny. Not to mention that the fact that the cast are dead-ringers for the originals--in fact Jan is so _frighteningly_ like the original that it'll send shivers up your back. Four of the original cast also make cameos in the film (but you'll have to really look to find some of them), and the film blends the whole campy concept with the "retro" plastic nineties--a perfect joke on fashions of this decade. Very worth watching!
