* {{Deconstruction}}: Played off how warped the Bradys looked in comparison to real life (specifically, the idealized early-[[TheSeventies Seventies]] Bradys against the grungy mid-[[TheNineties Nineties]] Los Angeles) for all its worth.
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: After Jan runs away from home, Cindy becomes confused over whether or not she should "tattle" on her.

* TheFilmOfTheSeries

*** The vegetable oil was itself a shout-out to Florence Henderson's "Wessonality" commercials.
* RearrangeTheSong: The updated instrumental version just before the end credits.
* RemakeCameo: Florence Henderson, Christopher Knight, Ann B. Davis, Barry Williams, (in deleted scenes) Mike Lookinland, Maureen [=McCormick=] and Susan Olsen. Also, Davy Jones revisits his original episode appearence, and by extension, fellow [[TheMonkees Monkees]] Peter Tork and Micky Dolenz.

* CoverSong: The new cast performs three songs from the original series: the theme song, "It's Time to Change" and "Good Time Music".

* HaveAGayOldTime: Twice. First, when Carol's kidnapper rents a jeep, Carol wishes she could "be gay again", and comments that she would be if Marcia, Cindy, Jan and Alice were around. Later, the rental man asks Mike whether he knows his wife wants to be gay, so Mike exclaims that's what the entire Brady Bunch wants to be.
* HereWeGoAgain: At the end of the movie, [[spoiler:[[IDreamOfJeannie Jeannie]]]] visits the Brady Bunch, claiming to be Mike's wife.

* ItsAllMyFault: Each Brady, as well as Alice, and even Cindy's doll, blames himself or herself for letting Trevor kidnap Carol. [[spoiler: Marcia [[NeverMyFault doesn't blame herself]], and instead thinks, "[[TheUnfavorite This is all Jan's fault]]."]]
* LineOfSightName: How Jan comes up with the name of her "[[GirlfriendInCanada boyfriend]]", George Glass.

** Signs at the construction site are marked REED DESIGN, in honor of the original man named Brady.
* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: While Mike, Alice, and the Brady Kids fly a plane to Hawaii, Cindy asks if anyone knows how to feel better about Carol's kidnapping. Greg then pulls a guitar out of {{Hammerspace}}, and all the Brady Kids start dancing in the aisles, performing "Good Time Music."

''A Very Brady Sequel'' followed ''The Brady Bunch Movie'' in 1996. Carol's first husband, Roy Martin, returns from a several-decade absence, and causes friction among the Brady household. Unbeknownst to the Brady Bunch, their visitor is actually a smuggler named Trevor Thomas, seeking to deliver their horse statue to Dr. Whiteman, a rich man living in {{Hawaii}}.
Paramount Television and Fox hoped to continue the success of the two theatrical movies with a 2002 MadeForTVMovie titled ''The Brady Bunch in the White House''. In it, Mike Brady becomes President of the United States.
----
!! Tropes featured in the movies:
[[folder:The Brady Bunch Movie]]
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: [[invoked]] In this movie's universe, Jan developed her jealousy of Marcia out of mental instability.
* BetterThanABareBulb: The movie and its sequel absolutely ''love'' {{lampshading}} and playing with the various Brady Bunch tropes.
* BigDamnMovie
* CallBack: Quite a few scenes and subplots reference iconic ''Brady Bunch'' episodes.
* DawsonCasting: Christine Taylor (Marcia), Jennifer Elise Cox (Jan), and Christopher Daniel Barnes (Greg) were all in their twenties when cast. Interestingly, Cox is actually ''older'' than Taylor in real life.
* {{Deconstruction}}: Played off how warped the Bradys looked in comparison to real life (specifically, the idealized early-[[TheSeventies Seventies]] Bradys against the grungy mid-[[TheNineties Nineties]] Los Angeles) for all its worth.
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: After Jan runs away from home, Cindy becomes confused over whether or not she should "tattle" on her. When she asks her parents if she can tattle when something urgent is happening, they tell her to wait until the morning, so she blurts out, "But Jan could be dead by then!"
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Marcia's friend Noreen lusts for her.
* TheFilmOfTheSeries
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Marcia and Jan, big time.
* HereWeGoAgain: At the end of the movie, Jan (with help from her grandmother) manages to banish the inner demons that turned her against Marcia, but then Cindy develops a jealousy of Jan.
* NotAllowedToGrowUp: Due to the writers ignoring the previous spin-offs (except ''The Brady Kids''), ''none'' of the main characters have aged since the fourth season of ''TheBradyBunch''.
* OpeningShoutOut:
** While visiting Sears, The Brady Bunch and Alice use demo camcorders and monitors to form the squares seen in the show's opening and ending credits.
** The ending of the movie shows the Bradys in their squares[[hottip:*:which have actually become rectangles to accommodate widescreen theaters]], engaging in miscellaneous gags (eg, Marcia simultaneously appearing in her spot and Jan's, Carol inviting Mike to go kinky with her and some vegetable oil).
*** The vegetable oil was itself a shout-out to Florence Henderson's "Wessonality" commercials.
* RearrangeTheSong: The updated instrumental version just before the end credits.
* RemakeCameo: Florence Henderson, Christopher Knight, Ann B. Davis, Barry Williams, (in deleted scenes) Mike Lookinland, Maureen [=McCormick=] and Susan Olsen. Also, Davy Jones revisits his original episode appearence, and by extension, fellow [[TheMonkees Monkees]] Peter Tork and Micky Dolenz.

* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: While Mike, Alice, and the Brady Kids fly a plane to Hawaii, Cindy asks if anyone knows how to feel better about Carol's kidnapping. Greg then pulls a guitar out of {{Hammerspace}}, and all the Brady Kids start dancing in the aisles, performing "Good Time Music."
