Perhaps the worst line I have ever heard!

I completely agree it is over the top hilarious (and not in a "laughing with you" type way either) but I hope the comment isn't made to belittle what this movie is which is pure escapism for those who enjoyed the original series and wish their lives were a bit closer to the Brady Bunch than what they really are. I enjoy watching this every Christmas, even with lines such as this. I have always found Jerry Houser's performances in these reunions however to be one of the most realistic while not being too serious, he did the best possible job any of the secondary actors could have done. I love the scene where he is ranting about the dentist and grinding his teeth.

Wally and Marsha kissing - fark! You could see her reaching for a bucket the moment the director shouted "cut". Just happened to see this on cable today, and being an avid Brady Bunch viewer as a kid (Friday 8pm ABC followed by The Partridge Family then Love American Style) I couldn't not watch it. Sad but true.

I agree. No offense to Jerry Houser, but he was the wrong person to cast as Marcia's husband. They had zero chemestryMarcia certainly never got that dewey-eyed glazed look in her eyes over him.
That 'Don't Be Sorry, Just Be Wally' line was particularly corny because it enforces the idea that Marcia is attracted to baffoons. Ironically, she gets fed up with Wally 'being Wally' after he loses three more jobs and she begins hitting the bottlethat's when 'things need to change, Wally.' LOL! -

That's absolutely
not
what this film is at all.
The original series does not have foul language like this film does. This film is for evil liberals who hated the original series. -

Oh gawd i moaned when she said that when i first watched the movie back in 88
when it originally aired
I felt sorry enough that Maureen had to say that line..i wonder if she got sick when she first read that line in the script..she should have said if you want me to say that line how about a couple extra thousand bucks in my check
Then I wonder if they were sorta poking at the Dont Worry Be Happy catchphrase that so popular in 88 -

I agree. Even as a litytle girl watching BRADY BRIDES I totally never believed Marcia and Jand would date those two losers, let alone marry them!
We never rally got a good look at the guys Jan dated in high school but we saw Marcias and its pretty safe to assume that Marcia wouldnt end up with a "Wally"!

Corny even by Brady standards!
The other overboard "funny" lines were when Mike was reading aloud the "Dear John" letter that Sam left Alice. "I lied to you - I was not working late seasoning rump roasts." "At first, we just exchanged meatloaf recipes." "I fell for her like a pound of ground chuck." (I still don't know what the heck THAT means!)
Then when Alice goes to retrieve her bags, Carol says to Mike, "I'm shocked. They always went together like liver and onions."
OK - WE GET IT! SAM'S A BUTCHER!! Talk about hitting the audience over the head with that.
