So much average

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

The first two Brady Bunch film were beautiful dumb fun. This film is dumb, dumb, dumb. I don't even know where to begin. First of all, the new Brady Bunch kids plus Alice were terrible at portraying their characters. At least Shelly Long and Gary Cole reprised their roles as Carol and Mike. But the rest are barely trying. Part of the fault lies within the writers for replacing subtle double entendres with blatant straightforward unoriginal dirty jokes, which takes away from the Brady Bunch feel. Another problem is how this film is shot. In the first two Brady Bunch, scenes set in the Brady home were shot just like the show. It was a comedic contrast between the real world and the Brady World. In this film the Brady home scenes are shot exactly the same as the rest of the film. Again, this takes away from the Brady Bunch feel a great deal. I've barely even dug into the plot. Bobby finds a winning lottery ticket and Mike decides to turn it in. The family is honored by the president. Then MIke becomes the president. See what's wrong here? It's nothing like the Brady Bunch. The plots of the first two Brady Bunch films heavily referenced story lines from the original series. They took place mostly within the Brady home. This plot is convoluted and is paced horribly. There's barley even a few scenes set in the Brady home! Most of the humor in the film comes from political jokes which constantly fall flat. There's nothing funny about Marsha not knowing the House of Representatives. Not only that, but the concept of "What if Mike Brady were president?" becomes horribly tired. Meanwhile, Jan's inner voices from the first film came back, only it was acted out flatly and in the most unfunny way. Another call back comes near the end with Marsha & Peter's weird quasi-incestuous relationship. Once again, it's handled with zero subtly and the humor is sucked out of the situation. Peter also becomes slightly more crude. He makes references to stuffing a sock in his pants and he talks about boobs a lot. That's not Brady behavior at all! None of the Brady kids act like Brady kids. The writers probably have never seen an episode of the Brady Bunch in their lives. The main focus of this film is Mike and Carol, with very little focus on the kids. While this was probably for the best because, like I said, the Brady kids are terrible, the film overall felt like a huge bore. The first two films had the perfect amount of cheesy humor, subtle jokes, and clever references. The Brady Bunch in the White House is as blunt as dull kitchen knife. It's an dark spot on an otherwise wonderful film series.

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.

Of all the films I have seen, songs I have heard and books I read, this is without doubt the one piece of art that people will continue to appreciate with awed reverence 500 years from now. It totally changed my life. When I saw it, I felt that I had been born on this Earth to be at this particular place and this particular time to experience this incredible feat of human artistic excellence. I am absolutely convinced that it will make stars out of every single actor associated with this film, and will one day win the Nobel Prize for Literature for its scriptwriters. While the Brady Bunch is a milestone of Western Civilisation, and the Whitehouse one of its greatest architectural monuments, no mere mortal would have ever thought to put them together. But the producers of this movie are clearly no mere mortals. The staggering genius on display here simply takes the breath away. The words simply do not exist to describe this film. Watching it, I clearly felt the presence of the Lord. If Leonardo da Vinci were alive today and had a movie camera, I have no doubt he would be making films like this, as well as pornos. Look upon this work, ye mighty, and despair.

Ok, this movie was definitely stupid. But I liked it because it was stupid enough to be really funny. It was a lot more made fun of than the one made in '95 . . . especially when Peter tells everybody what he'll buy them with the lottery ticket. (Cindy - speech therapist, Jan - new glasses, braces, etc.) What I didn't like is how Cindy was so little when she's supposed to be the same age as Bobby, and Peter was supposed to be the same age as Jan. They could have at least did that! Don't go out of your way to see this movie, but if it's on, check it out!
