Trivia:

At the auction scene, the auctioneer mentions Ms. McCormick and Ms. Plumb. This is in reference to the original Marcia and Jan, Maureen McCormick and Eve Plumb, respectively.

Goofs:

Factual errors: It is revealed that Carol's first husband, Roy Martin was lost at sea and presumed dead. This is how Carol came to be a widow and married Mike. At the climax of the movie, we learn that Trevor was responsible for the boat carrying Roy and Dr. Whitehead's son, Gilligan's demise. We are then told that Carol's first husband was The Professor on Gilligan's Island. The problem is, on Gilligan's Island, The Professor's name is Roy Hinkley and not Roy Martin.

Quotes:

Roy Martin: You can't believe her. Look at the hair, the clothes, the constant cheerfulness.

Groovy!

This quick cash-in sequel to the 1995 Brady Bunch Movie is surprisingly really quite good - The wonderfully tongue-in-cheek Shelley Long and Gary Cole make this worth watching just for their performances alone and the story is quite good if a little far-fetched. Tim Matheson stars as Shelley Long's EX-Husband or is he? If your feeling low - this movie will certainly bring a smile to the face if nothing else!

MY Rating 8/10
