Goofs:

Factual errors: It is revealed that Carol's first husband, Roy Martin was lost at sea and presumed dead. This is how Carol came to be a widow and married Mike. At the climax of the movie, we learn that Trevor was responsible for the boat carrying Roy and Dr. Whitehead's son, Gilligan's demise. We are then told that Carol's first husband was The Professor on Gilligan's Island. The problem is, on Gilligan's Island, The Professor's name is Roy Hinkley and not Roy Martin.

Quotes:

Jan Brady: His name is... George.
Marcia Brady: George what?
Jan Brady: George, uhhh... Tropicana!
Carol Brady: Oh, that's nice. Is he Cuban?

Groovy!

Just a year after the original comes out, they make a follow-up, which is just as good as the original.

Shelley Long, Gary Cole and all the kids come back for this one. Carol's supposedly dead husband comes back, leaving the Brady household confused, so they do they only thing that will help - fly over to Hawaii (of course!)!

Yet more laughs and more funny lines (ie. [coming off the plane] Mike: Where's Marcia? Cindy: She's been lay-ed by those Hawaiian boys!) Ahem, yeah, but you might wanna check this one out for yourself!

The Brady kids aren't short of singing numbers either, not on a stage though, this time on the 'groovy' plane!
