SO brilliant, eh? I honestly believe that Christine Taylor as Marcia, Jennifer Elise Cox as Jan and Regina Hall as Brenda in Scary Movie all deserved Oscar nominations for their work. I don't care if the films are considered lowbrow, those performances are brilliant.
You might not of seen Nickelodeon's Hey Dude back in the late 80's early 90's. First time I saw Christina Taylor I could see that she was definitely a Maureen McCormick look alike, even though she didn't have Maureen's character. At the time I always thought if they ever did a movie on the life of Maureen she would be the perfect actress to play her. Then the Brady Bunch Movie came out and I realized what a talented actress she is. She got Marsha down perfect. Even Maureen McCormick was spooked by it. Her comedic timing in this movie was so great.
Maureen McCormick said in an interview that when she saw the premiere of this, she forgot at times that she was NOT watching herself as Marcia. She also joked beforehand that the actress playing Marcia, “looked nothing like Marcia at all!” Maureen loved the movie. ❤
I think she plays Marcia better than the real Marcia. It's scary how perfect she looks and talks just like Marcia. The greatest impersonation in history by far
This movie came out in 1995, the original show was set between 1969 and 1974, so that's 26 years, and we're now in 2024 (2024-1995=29), that means this movie is closer to the original show's run than we are to the movie.
I fear that if they made this today, they'd have a back story or gimmick showing why the Bradys act like they're living in the seventies even though it's 2023. That it's never explained at all in the 1995-96 movies is so much funnier.
That’s part of the genius of it. It’s crazy how different 20 years were from the 70s - 90s then compared to 20 years ago today. 2004 isn’t that much different from today besides smartphones.
That’s where I’m at right now lol. Use to watch this movie constantly when I was in elementary school, and I’ve totally forgotten about it. So much funnier watching it now in my 30’s lol
it wouldve been funny if later on, he opened his locker in front of her n there was photos of lots of different noses....n she called him a liar n ran off
In the Brady Reunion interviews with Jenny McCarthy, Maureen McCormick said that was completely blown away and amazed by how much this actress looked, acted and sounded like her.
Spot on Mr. Logan Gantner. And yes Mr. Michael Scott, he’s right. If Jan was as gracious and honest as Marsha, instead of jealous and resentful, then maybe she her beauty would shine and she would be happier, instead of the miserable and envious sister she is. Jan never humbles herself and speaks to Marsha with praise the way Marsha spoke to the model right there.
I will *never* forget when I saw this as a young kid. I was really into the movie and had a crush on Jan. When Marcia called Jan out, my 6-year-old immediate response was "YES WE DO!!" at the top of my lungs. I was so, SO, *SO* embarrassed. Now, I come back to this scene and laugh at it twice per year. This is ironically my favorite comedy. LoL
While the child actress who plays "Thindy" looks nothing like her. It would've been better if they got Heather Karasek (Jade from The Little Rascals '94) for the role.
Im pretty sure growing up i had never watched the original brady bunch and i believed this to be the authentic thing untill today and im dead😂 marcha was abiatch
Gary Cole *always* gives a good performance even when the movie isn't very good. Shortly after this he'd be the villain in Sam Raimi's "A Simple Plan" and - in probably his most iconic role - Lumbergh in "Office Space."
Ben Stiller is a very lucky man. He has what most men only dream of having, his very own Marcia Brady! Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor(Marcia) are married and have 3 children. They almost divorced but when they were together during the pandemic lockdown, they reconnected and called off the divorce. Good for them! I also wonder if Ben had Christine dress up like Marcia at times... you know to... get him in the mood. 😉 I know it work on me. 😆
