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

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Here's some great lines I remember: (cars zooming in background) "How the heck are any of those kids supposed to study with hall of that noise." "She's not a part of this family,so she shouldn't be allowed to speak." "He needed someone else to salt up his rumproast." "Now between 9-5, I'm the boss. But what about 5-9? -- "I am." Granted, these lines weren't verbatim, but this just gives you a firm grasp of the stupidity and camp that was involved in this film. all the while putting down race car driving, The Gift of the Magi, Miracle of 34th Street and poor Alice, this movie just happened to put down just about everyone. It was so bad, it was funny. The mom is completely oblivious to everyone's problems, long-term problems are solved over a span of seconds, the kids are stupid, everyone simultaneously had bad hair, Greg had a bad one-piece pajama set that wreaked of campiness, the random flashbacks, the stupid music, and of course, Mr. Brady coming out of collapsed building without a scratch. If this doesn't make you want to see this piece of garbage, then you must be a soulless person with no sense of appreciation for the worst films imagined.

OK, I will agree some of the dialogue and situations in this movie are VERY corny. But it's also warm and winning as the Bradys reunite for the holidays. Some of the situations here were continued in the series The Bradys, which followed a year later. Sadly, Susan Olsen wasn't in the film (was on her honeymoon at the time), but the rest of the family is back! A nice little film to enjoy come holiday season. A bit of trivia: Tonya Lee Williams, who plays Cindy's roommate here, went on to play Olivia on the Young and the Restless, a role she's played for the last decade.

No one ever claimed that the Brady's are award winning material, and that's fine with me. We don't watch the Bradys for mental stimulation, we watch them to make us feel like a kid again. Sure the plot is corny, the script is weak and the acting is as cheesy as ever, but isn't that what makes the Bradys special? No one can tell me that "Don't be sorry, just be Wally" isn't one of the greatest lines in Brady history. Those of you who choose to bash the Bradys should maybe chill out a little and realize that the Bradys have been around for over thirty years because loyal fans like me can appreciate the whole corny thing. I will continue to watch it every Christmas and I invite everyone else to as well. Long live the Bradys

Ok, someone tell me that this isn't for real? Poor Dad gets trapped in a construction accident and they still sing christmas carols without him? Some one should beat the writers of this script into a bloody pulp. I like The Brady Bunch, but this is de-grading.
