Rated PG-13 • 1996 • 1h 30m
A Very Brady Sequel (1996) is a PG-13 family comedy that earns its rating for a mix of broad comic violence (a kidnapping and a gun threat), mild drug-related humor (an accidental hallucinogenic meal), and some sexual innuendo around teen attraction. The plot centers on a conman posing as Carol Brady's first husband (Trevor/"Roy"), whose deception leads to Carol's abduction and a tense rescue in Hawaii — those rescue and gunpoint… Sign up for the full guide

Sex and nudity in A Very Brady Sequel
Light, mostly non-graphic sexual material and innuendo. IMDb's Parents Guide notes pool scenes with girls in bikinis and a sequence where Marcia and Greg share an attic and briefly change behind a curtain so only silhouettes are seen; the film plays the teen attraction for awkward laughs rather than explicit content. No nudity is shown.
Violence and gore in A Very Brady Sequel
Some stronger, non-graphic violent moments are played for comedy and tension. IMDb notes a slapstick accident where a man is struck with nunchaku (comic, mild), but the film also contains more serious beats: Trevor kidnaps Carol, Alice and the kids are tied up at the house, and later Trevor holds people at gunpoint in Hawaii before Mike physically subdues him. These scenes are non-graphic but may be intense because they put family members in peril.
Language in A Very Brady Sequel
Mild and infrequent. Characters use sarcastic insults and occasional mild curse words; nothing graphic or sustained. IMDb lists the overall profanity level as mild.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in A Very Brady Sequel
A single comic drug-related incident: a character unknowingly eats spaghetti made with psilocybin mushrooms and experiences a brief hallucination sequence. IMDb's Parents Guide flags this as played for laughs rather than a hard drug-use depiction, but it is a clear on-screen drug effect.
Mature themes in A Very Brady Sequel
Moderate themes of deception, identity and family danger run through the film. Central elements include a conman posing as a long-lost husband, the emotional risk and near-loss when Carol is abducted, and references to a past boating accident that ties into Trevor's con; kids also deal with first crushes and changing family roles. These themes are presented in a broadly comic, family-movie tone but include moments of genuine worry.
