I know what you mean. And now that you mention it, obviously Mike & Carol had most of the speaking parts....and what's interesting is, when it comes to the kids, is it seemed like we saw and heard Cindy the most. Like she's the one that walks up to Carol towards the end when Mike is trapped, and those 2 have that dialogue where they break into "O Come All Ye Faithful". Also, a little bit earlier that in the movie, she's one of those who brings forth their "problem" at the dinner table. What makes it interesting is Cindy is the only character that wasn't played by an original cast member.

Maybe it was because Marcia couldn't act worth a crap. Case in point listen to the brilliant way she delivers her lines during the argument with Wally after he loses his job, without any emotion or gusto whatsoever. It’s apparent they tried to showcase the strongest actors/actresses so they based the story mainly around Mom/Dad and Alice. But they didn’t exactly make it a classic either. Also, the new Cindy was total eye candy you gotta get her as much screen time as possible if you know what’s good for you.

Jennifer Runyon as Cindy Brady was very cute. I think the original story was that Susan Olsen couldn't do the movie because she was on her honeymoon. Then later she revealed she had wanted more money. Olsen has a great sense of humor. She was probably flattered that she was replaced with such an attractive actress.
