WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Based on the characters created by Sherwood Schwartz, 1995’s The Brady Bunch Movie and the popular 1970s TV series The Brady Bunch, A Very Brady Sequel is the groovy flick that answers your burning questions about the famous cheerful family. This time Carol (Shelley Long) and Mike (Gary Cole) welcome a con man posing as Carol’s first-husband (Tim Matheson) into their home while the rest of the family explores ‘70s sitcom taboos. Look for a cameo from the uncredited Barbara Eden!

LaserDisc Picture:
The 1.85:1 picture is superb in all aspects, with sharp images and excellent colors.

LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital 5.1 discrete and matrix PCM soundtracks are amazingly pristine in fidelity and clarity. The soundstage is slightly wider in the discrete, while the matrix is a little warmer. The music score is superbly recorded with distinct imaging. This is an incredibly clean soundtrack that is distinguished from others.
