It was on this day in 1995 that the Brady Bunch Movie was released to theaters. Rather than rehash the show in its own time period, producers placed the family in the 90’s…..and rehashes the show there.

Fans of the Brady Bunch TV show either loved or hated the film.  I was actually impressed with how well the actors played the original characters. 

It was also nice to see some familiar faces in cameo roles.  Among those cameos were Davy Jones, Mickey Dolenz and Peter Tork of the Monkees.  Some of the original cast appeared, too.  Florence Henderson, Ann B. Davis, Barry Williams and Christopher Knight all appear in other roles. Drag Queen, RuPaul, has a cameo as a teacher/counselor named Mrs. Cummings.

I admit I almost picked Sunshine Day from the soundtrack.  It’s the same song the original Brady kids did on the show.  As I started to listen to it, I thought I’d spare you having to hear that one.  Too cheesy. Instead, how about we feature RuPaul’s You Better Work?  At least that one won’t be stuck in your head for 10 days after one listen…

FYI – the spoken lines at the beginning are said by Lawanda Page – Aunt Esther on Sanford and Son!
