This movie was a lot of fun. It was fun watching the main character being confronted by the Indian culture. I haven't been to India but as far as I can tell it looks being as faithful to the actual India as possible.

My Thoughts:
I has been a long time since I saw this one. Sadly this movie just doesn't hold up. Not only have the effects aged much more than I have remembered, the production seems rather amateurish. Even the acting is bad. The first few minutes I was not even sure, if the movie has already started, or if I am watching an amateur parody of it.

Weekend Movie Marathon: TV Show Reunion Movies, a review by addicted2dvd



The Brady 500
Bobby (now a racecar driver) makes it to the Nashville 500 where he is in a serious car-wreck and is paralyzed from the waist down. The family rallys around him in his efforts to recover. Marcia and husband, Wally (who has lost another job) and their kids, are living with Mike & Carol. Jan and her husband, Phillip are attempting to get pregnant and in the end adopt an Asian girl, Patty. Peter breaks up with his fiancee, Valerie and becomes quite the playboy. Cindy is a radio DJ and starts to date her boss. Greg, following Bobby's car-wreck debates whether to change his specialty.

My Thoughts:
Well... we just finished watching this one. Another good reunion movie. Even though this one is not an official reunion movie. It is actually the 2 parter pilot episode of the TV Series "The Bradys". But the studio edited it together long ago... airing it several times as a TV Movie. Changing the name to "The Brady 500"... so I think it is ok to consider it a TV movie. It is a good TV movie.. but I do have one major complaint. Unfortunately Maureen McCormick decided not to come back to play Marcia... so it was weird to see someone else in that part. It just didn't feel right without Maureen McCormick in the role.
