- 91Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThe makers of The Brady Bunch Movie have too much affection for the show simply to skewer it with satire. What they’ve done is closer to alchemy: turned this cheese into comic gold.
- 80EmpireCaroline WestbrookEmpireCaroline WestbrookThis is enormous fun, one of the best TV adaptations to date, and guaranteed to provoke a nostalgic misty eye and mischevious grin in anybody who's ever owned a crimplene tank top.
- 80Time OutTime OutDirector Thomas (once Sgt Lucy Bates of Hill Street Blues) has recreated '70s sitcom-land with the kind of unerring attention to detail Merchant-Ivory lavish on a society ball, and she's drawn hilariously synthetic performances from a shrewdly cloned cast.
- 75TV Guide MagazineTV Guide MagazineA funny, savvy, camp yet family-friendly look at the Generation-X TV icons.

- 67Austin ChronicleSteve DavisAustin ChronicleSteve DavisAs real as the Astroturf in the Brady's backyard and as eager to please as Alice's meat loaf, The Brady Bunch Movie is -- to exhaust this string of metaphors -- pure junk food. But like most junk food, it sure tastes good.
- 60VarietyLeonard KladyVarietyLeonard KladyPart homage, part spoof, the deft balancing act is a clever adaptation -- albeit culled from less than pedigreed source material.
- 50Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe film establishes a bland, reassuring, comforting Brady reality - a certain muted tone that works just fine but needs, I think, a bleaker contrast from outside to fully exploit the humor.
- 50ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe length is the film's undoing. No matter how tantalizing the premise, overexposure leads inevitably to boredom.
- 40The New York TimesJanet MaslinThe New York TimesJanet MaslinThe movie manages to be painless and pointless in equal measure.
