Okay this was just DUMB

I hear folks trying to rationalize this lousy film and dig DEEP to find something good to say about it, but thats really a fruitless endeavor. The movie had no characters you could identify with and only a couple you could almost sympathize with ... ALMOST. Worst of all, it's ending leaves you scracthing your head. And even when the ending is explained, you're left feeling wholly unsatisfied.

I suppose someone was trying to make art here, but really all they managed to do was cobble together a pile of pretentious crap.

Hell, maybe you should just stick to the Brady Bunch trilogy then. I'm sure you could identify with those characters a lot better. After all you said it best,

There's a Brady Bunch TRILOGY??

And I'm certain no one involved with the Brady Bunch (with the exception of maybe Robert Reed) had any highfalutin notions that they were creating art.

It's called sarcasm, maybe you've heard of it. Either way you should just stick with watching Mr. Brady then.

Oh I've heard of sarcasm ... and I recognize it when its applied correctly. And I don't want to watch Mr. Brady, thank you very much. He's been dead for like fifteen years. I'm sure he looks just awful.

I guess that's a matter of opinion. Much like people's views on films. Yeah, I believe most people know about Mr. Brady's death by now. I'm sure you're right. I dunno what dead body wouldn't look awful. Nice analysis..... I guess.

Really!! What is the name of the third one? Is it on DVD yet? That would be awesome. It cries for a third. Shelly Long has been out of the spot light for too long now!

This movie is horrible and no amount of sarcasm can save a poor judge of film.
