Plot

Following its predecessor, the film places the 1970s Brady Bunch family in a contemporary 1990s setting, where much of humor is derived from the resulting culture clash and the utter lack of awareness the Bradys show towards their unusual lifestyle.

One evening, a man claiming to be Carol Brady's long-lost first husband, Roy Martin, shows up at the suburban Brady residence. The man is actually an impostor named Trevor Thomas, and is there to steal the Bradys' familiar horse statue which is actually a $20 million ancient artifact. When Trevor's ruse is uncovered by Bobby and Cindy, he kidnaps Carol and takes her and the artifact to the buyer in Hawaii. The remaining Brady family travels to Hawaii to save Carol and make sure that Trevor is arrested.

Besides the main storyline, the children have their own sub-plots in the film. Greg and Marcia both want to move out of their shared rooms, and when neither wants to back down, they have to share the attic together. When Roy's arrival suggests that Carol and Mike might not be married, Greg and Marcia realise they might not be brother and sister anymore, leading to sexual tensions rising between them. Jan's sub-plot involves her making up a pretend boyfriend named George Glass in order to make herself seem more popular. Peter, who is trying to decide what career path to choose, starts idolizing and emulating Roy. The youngest, Bobby and Cindy, start a "Detective Agency" hunting down Cindy's missing doll, an act that unexpectedly leads them to discover Roy's true intentions.
