The Brady Bunch Movie arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate The Brady Bunch Movie from the crowd. The original '70s TV family is now placed in the 1990s, where they're even more square and out of place than ever. Shelley Long and Gary Cole lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 1995. The Brady Bunch Movie earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

The Brady Bunch Movie is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Shelley Long is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
