Trivia:

With The Brady Bunch Movie, Florence Henderson has played Carol Brady, Carol's mother, and Carol's grandmother, Connie Hutchins, in "The Brady Bunch: You're Never Too Old (#4.21)" (1973) (season 4, episode 21).

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): They need $20,000 to keep their home. Mike asks Carol in bed for a penny for her thoughts. She responds "about 20,000 of them". This is only $200, not the $20,000 needed to save their home.

Quotes:

[Doug kisses Marcia]
Marcia Brady: Doug! I think I just felt your tongue in my mouth.
Doug: It's called a french kiss.
Marcia Brady: But I thought you were from Nebraska!

A must see for all Brady Bunch fans

I thought this movie was absolutely hilarious!! I grew up watching the Brady Bunch and anyone who is a fan of the TV show will truly enjoy this film. Michael McKean was so funny as Mr. Dittmire. Although the humor is off the wall and silly......this movie spoofed the show right down to a tee. Very funny!
