Youngblood at the Movies

This weekend I watched A Very Brady Sequel. I honestly think that I am dumber from watching it. I really do. Most movies I step back and take a fair look at it and examine the positives and negatives of it. It’s kind of tough with this one. I never felt so drained mentally after watching a movie, not even after Dude Where’s My Car or Scooby Doo.

This movie pushes a limit that…that I don’t even know what it is. It’s just a limit of something…not stupidity…but cheesiness. Ya, cheesiness! I realize that the makers of the movie wanted to make it as cheesy as they could, but I think they didn’t just miss their mark, but they flew by it a light speed and kept on going. I have no problem with what they did with the first movie. It was cheesy, but not like this. Oh not like this! This was some kind of new level that I don’t think that they even thought about reaching!

But in actuality the filmmakers can’t be the ones blamed for this atrocity. The actors can’t be blamed either. The one man responsible for this torture (and I do mean torture. Strap someone to a chair and pt this in front of them and they’ll confess to anything just so you’ll shut it off) is Sherwood Schwartz.

Good old Sherwood might not have had anything to do with the making of this movie, but he did create The Brady Bunch (and Gilligan’s Island), so in turn he is the one to blame for this. DAMN YOU SHERWOOD!!

I do realize that they were spoofing the show and bay making it uber-cheesy, that was just part of the spoof. I just think they took it a little too far. They made them dumb people, and on the show the Brady’s weren’t dumb. The one actually funny part of the movie was the sexual tension between Marcia and Greg, and them trying to figure out if it was wrong if it was wrong for them to hook up (you know, because they’re not really brother and sister just half). It was kind of creepy, but still kind of funny. They do also have a few good jokes; mostly they’re all play-on-words kind of thing.

So for doing what they set out to do, but torturing the audience for doing it; and having a few laughs, I’m giving A Very Brady Sequel »» out of 5
