Trivia:

In the scene that takes place at the construction site, the signs in the background read "Reed Design" - no doubt a tribute to the late Robert Reed, the original Mike Brady.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Roy throws the taboo statue, the close-up of the statue hitting the spider reveals the monofilament used to guide the statue onto the spider.

Quotes:

[after Carol has fainted]
Mike Brady, Roy Martin: Honey, are you all right?
[they stare at each other]
Carol Brady: [not surprised] I'm all right.

Groovy!

This quick cash-in sequel to the 1995 Brady Bunch Movie is surprisingly really quite good - The wonderfully tongue-in-cheek Shelley Long and Gary Cole make this worth watching just for their performances alone and the story is quite good if a little far-fetched. Tim Matheson stars as Shelley Long's EX-Husband or is he? If your feeling low - this movie will certainly bring a smile to the face if nothing else!

MY Rating 8/10
