After seeing the disasterous "Brady's In The White House" I gave this a try because I also missed it on TV and it was released on DVD at the same time. I was blown away. This movie was even better than the E! True Hollywood Story done on the series. The casting was excellent. All the kids looked like the original actors, and that was definitely lacking "Brady's In the White House". It started right away with the auditioning of the actors at the beginning of the Brady Bunch and follows the show and players from there.

It's the ultimate behind the scenes look at the show, and the battles between Robert Reed and Sherwood Schwartz. Very interesting, and very entertaining.

When I first saw it advertised on television that they would be making a tv movie based on Barry William's book "Growing Up Brady" I was very excited. I have always loved the rumors that surrounded the behind the scenes life of the Brady Bunch, and was hoping that they would do a good job putting it on screen. I was not disappointed, and I loved this movie. For a long time I was searching for it on dvd or video, and finally it was released. It's great and if you like the Brady Bunch, I guarantee you will like this movie. It's fun, entertaining, and TRUE!

What a GREAT movie this is. I read the book (which was good), but didn't come across the movie (which was great), until recently. It moves along, covers all the important moments, and is extremely well-acted-- particularly by Barry Williams in the opening/closing segments. He's terrific. Why isn't he a popular character actor in features?? There's also a clever cameo by Maureen McCormick here-- although I hope they find her hair stylist, who probably skipped town after botching her 'do. Yecch. I grew up with this show, and am very happy that Growing Up Brady delivers the goods for all us Brady fans. Highly recommended.

Adam Brody (The O.C.) and Kaley Cuoco (8 Simple Rules) in a made-for-TV biopic about the making of the Brady Bunch that chronicles all the pain and controversy, that wasn't so controversial to begin with. The cast is great and it captures the feel of the TV show very well. This is a fun TV movie worth a viewing for fans of the show. Need I say more?

I was not alive until the show was already over, however, the reruns often appeared on nick at nite and TV land--- it is one of the most memorable shows for many people in there childhood. This movie explains the casts relationships in a dramatic way which only makes it more fun! I definately recommend this film!

I came across this on accident or did I? People who bought this movie also bought....! Anyway I was more a Partridge then a Brady but gave it a whirl. This movie is much better then the TV Show. After watching this I think Sherwood had the camera pointed in the wrong direction! Thanks to Greg Brady for telling the story! I couldn't find it at my local library so I was forced to buy it on Amazon but it was worth it, then was able to resell. Worth the trip!

I really loved this book so to see the movie version of the book was a treat. I only had problems with the cast not looking enough like the characters they were protraying. I felt that the acting was good,music great and the story was too groovy. I recommened this to anyone who likes the brady's.

I loved Barry Williams book and this movie was just as great. All of the actors involved really nailed each personality. For anyone who is a die hard Brady fan this is a gift.

I watched this on tv when it was first on and loved it. So I was thrilled to find it on DVD. It's the real story of the Bradys and the people who played them as told by Barry Williams (Greg). Alot more was going on behind the scenes than most at the time would think. It's a good movie and for Brady fans it's cool to see what it was like for the kids growing up Brady. I wish the similar movie about the partridge family was on DVD.

This story of the making of The Brady Bunch is great fun for fans. It starts with the auditions, then the famous wedding/pilot show ("Tiger!!"), and goes through all five seasons with the kids growing up and becoming stars.

Barry Williams' memoir inspired this 2000 TV-movie, so it's no surprise that his alter-ego is the heartthrob and star of the show; his amorous longings for screen-sister Maureen McCormick play heavily in the script as does Robert Reed's distaste for the low comedy.

Young Barry is played by pre-O.C. Adam Brody who is utterly charming and the only one of the actors who even remotely resembles their famous counterpart. Williams narrates the story and he and producer Sherwood Schwartz appear briefly. The movie is all sugar and spice, a sweet and innocent rememberance of a much-loved TV series. Fans of the show will love it.
