The Brady Bunch : Best and worst portrayals in the Brady Bunch Movie

Best and worst portrayals in the Brady Bunch Movie

Who do you think portrayed each Brady the best and the worst in the Brady Bunch Movie?

Re: Best and worst portrayals in the Brady Bunch Movie

Marcia was the best, followed by Jan, then Alice (an honorary Brady). Mike and Carol were ok. Peter, Bobby and Cindy were fair at best. Greg was the worst. I never once "saw" Greg in that performance. I do remember the actor played Greg in a dream sequence on the show Day by Day. That's probably the only reason they cast him.

Re: Best and worst portrayals in the Brady Bunch Movie

Bobby was the worst. They just didn't have anything for him to do.

Re: Best and worst portrayals in the Brady Bunch Movie

Marcia and Mike. He sounded exactly like Robert Reed.

I agree about Bobby - they just didn't give him much to do.

Re: Best and worst portrayals in the Brady Bunch Movie

Christine Taylor was so good as Marcia, she may have played the part better than Maureen LOL!

Re: Best and worst portrayals in the Brady Bunch Movie

The cast were all great except for the boys. The one who played Greg would've been a better Peter. The kids who played Peter and Bobby just sounded like any other kid. The two actresses who played Marcia and Jan were the best not to mention the BB movie Marcia was even hotter than the original Marcia.

Re: Best and worst portrayals in the Brady Bunch Movie

Mike - perfect 10/10
Carol - very good 8/10
Alice - pretty good 7/10
Greg - I like the actor but not as Greg 5/10
Marcia - perfect 10/10
Peter - he did the squeaky voice pretty good but wasn't Peter 5/10
Jan - not great. If you ever saw Melanie Hutsell on SNL in the 90s, she had that nasal voice down to perfection 6/10
Bobby - hard to believe this kid grew up to be the super hot cop on Chicago PD, but he wasn't a great Bobby 4/10
Cindy - she was the worst. except for the phony lisp, she was nothing like Cindy 3/10

Best - Mike and Marcia
Worst - Cindy



Al - Alicia
An - Andrew
Jo - Joseph
Be - Benjamin

Re: Best and worst portrayals in the Brady Bunch Movie

I remembet SNL's Melanie Hutsell. She was awesome as Jan! Also as the Delta Delta Delta sorority girl, lol!

Re: Best and worst portrayals in the Brady Bunch Movie

While the 70s certainly looked dated by the 90s in the BB movie, how dated and retro does 1995/96 look now?

Re: Best and worst portrayals in the Brady Bunch Movie

All of the portrayals in the BB movies were spot-on. I especially loved Marcia and Jan. They not only looked the part, but they brought the characters alive in the modern age - warts and all. And in Marcia's case, something suddenly came up for me any time she was on the screen!

Re: Best and worst portrayals in the Brady Bunch Movie

Very true. I was in my 20's during the 1990's and it really does look very retro. I remember having a pair of of really big glasses, almost a big as the kind Morty Seinfeld wore. I also remember having plenty of "Chandler Bing" sweater vests. LOL It was a good time but I still like the early 70's better.

Re: Best and worst portrayals in the Brady Bunch Movie

mike: voice 12/10 -- eerie. like Cole called RR's grave!
carol: 7.5/10 did anyone see carol dump that much sugar in her coffee on the show?

alice: er... um... 4/10 -- the 4 is only for the mannerisms. the real alice never said any sexual innuendos.

Marcia: 11/10 holy god!
Jan: 7/10
Cindy: 2/10 that hair. I realize this is probably all they could get, but she was just awful.
Greg: 8/10 -- totally loved him rooming with Marcia in the attic in the second movie.
Peter: 6/10. meh.
bobby: 4/10 at least they got mike lookinland's dyed hair right!


Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.

Re: Best and worst portrayals in the Brady Bunch Movie

Bobby wasn't the worst cause he had the less airtime. The worst is Peter.

Re: Best and worst portrayals in the Brady Bunch Movie

Christine Taylor was perfect as Marcia. Jennifer Elite Cox was ok as Jan. Christopher Barnes as Greg was miscast. Paul Cetera as Peter did the part well. Jesse Soffer resembled Bobby looked in the fifth season, but with little to do story wise he was ok. Olivia Hack as Cindy was a casting disaster. The braids were horrible, her eyes were too dark....just a mess. Gary Cole is a great character actor. He had Mike's mannerisms and voice but he didn't resemble him. Shelley Long as Carol was pretty good. Henriette Mantel was another casting disaster. Nothing like Alice at all.

Re: Best and worst portrayals in the Brady Bunch Movie

the very first time seeing the movie in the theater was the best. if you grew up with the show they nailed all the bits.2nd movie, not so much. marcia and greg being hot for each other was hilarious. bobby and cindy were the weakest in the movies.not much for them to ever do.

Re: Best and worst portrayals in the Brady Bunch Movie

All of the Bradys kids made cameo appearances in the movie. Although the parts with Mike Lookinland, Maureen McCormick and Susan Olsen were eventually cut from the Brady movie. I wonder if Eve Plumb was approached about making an appearance in the movie and refused to do it.

Re: Best and worst portrayals in the Brady Bunch Movie

Mike and Marcia were the best. Bobby was the worst.
