Unlike the MPAA we do not assign
one
inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE
and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest,
depending on quantity and context.
The Brady Bunch sitcom is now a motion picture with the
retro-Bradys trying to stay happy and non-dysfunctional in a '90s world. Shelley Long,
Gary Cole, Michael McKean.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - Sexual innuendo and references to sex, both heterosexual and
homosexual. A man and woman kiss passionately, and several occasions of cuddling and
suggestions of impending sex. A woman makes a veiled proposition to two young men. A woman
is shown in a sexy outfit.
VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - The violence in the film is played for laughs: a woman is
hit in the rear by a newspaper and falls into the bushes, a man trips on his treadmill and
falls into the wall leaving a hole, a man picks up a live wire and is thrown into a wall.
A girl is hit in the face with a football and is shown with a grotesquely swollen and
discolored nose. A few scenes of yelling and taunting. A young girl runs into the
"bad" area of town where she is taunted.

PROFANITY 1 - A couple mild obscenities, some mild sexual innuendo. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Being old-fashioned, losing your home, standing up for what
you believe in, family values and family ties.
MESSAGE - Your family will always be there for you; the family that works
together can achieve anything.
A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we
started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were
not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many
older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please
keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period.
While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are
limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.
