What happens

The Brady Bunch Movie is a 1995 American comedy film loosely based on the television series created by Sherwood Schwartz. The film was directed by Betty Thomas, with a screenplay by Rick Copp, and Bonnie and Terry Turner, and stars Shelley Long, Gary Cole, and Michael McKean, along with cameos from three Monkees members, Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork and drag queen, RuPaul, and some of the original cast of The Brady Bunch in new roles. The film (likewise with the connected sequels) is an alternate retroactive continuity of the Brady Bunch storyline and lore, based on the kitschy-camp parody musical "Live Brady Bunch" tour in the early 1990s. The film places the original sitcom characters, with their 1970s fashion sense and sitcom family morality, in a contemporary 1990s setting. Mike Brady works as a successful architect in Los Angeles. Due to failure to pay property tax, his family's home is at risk for repossession. Mike has to contend with his conman neighbor Larry Dittmeyer, who tries to sabotage the Bradys' effort to save their home. The film features humorous side plots, based around the culture clash between the Bradys' quaint conservative lifestyle and their more liberal surroundings. The Brady Bunch Movie was released in the United States by Paramount Pictures on February 17, 1995, and grossed $54 million. A sequel titled A Very Brady Sequel was released on August 23, 1996, and a television film titled The Brady Bunch in the White House was aired on November 29, 2002. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
