Forget what you think you know, especially if all you have seen or heard about the BradyBunch are the film parodies. This is the pure, unadulterated family TV show aimed at families. Actually, it is aimed at the CHILDREN in families, and is told from the children's point of view. This was a pretty radical concept at the time, and as a result it did merely okay in the ratings when it ran its first five year course on prime time TV. When it went into syndication however, and landed the late afternoon slots that meant children coming home from school and needing a vegging out break caught it, it hit its stride and quickly became the iconic show that was so well beloved, it just HAD to be parodied, all in good fun of course!
The premise of the show was quite simple. In 1965, divorce levels were rising to previously unprecedented levels ...

and epic lines: "Holy shit, it's the attack of Eddie Munster ... the blood sucking Bradybunch."
‘The Lost Boys’ was directed by Joel Schumacher who was the guy who took over the Batman movies from Tim Burton and he does a fine job, moving everything with a verve and a pace that is stunning. The film was released by Warner Brothers back in 1987 and it’s a very stylish, modern take on the vampire legend.

DVD Description
The popular 70s TV show makes a graceful transition to the big screen in this light-hearted feature that's part parody and part homage. The plot here (about a ruthless land developer who wants to buy the Brady home) is secondary to the playful juxtaposition of the Brady's era with our own. The film dotes on the peculiarities of 70s fashion and lingo with an almost religious fervor. The kids seem as lost in their wide-collared, pastel shirts as they do in their anachronistic moral universe. Marcia, for instance, is oblivious to the come-ons from a lesbian friend and she haughtily informs a date that she doesn't go to "third base." Several members of the original cast make cameo appearances.
