were the falling boxes a reference to something?


In two seperate scenes, Jan rushes by the Brady's packed up things and knocks some of the boxes over. At first I thought it was just an accident, but the second time she does it seems pretty deliberate, like it's supposed to be a subtle joke. Is it a reference to something in the series?

In the series, Jan was pretty clumsy and often tripped on things. I remember in one episode she was learning how to tap dance and she was doing it in the kitchen. She did a twirl and knocked a bowl, with like cake batter in it, on the floor.

So her in the movie is just showing that she's still clumsy, I think. Like she's not graceful and elegant but rather foolish and running into things.

in addition to what punkgirly wrote, I think those scenes were also about Jan not wearing her glasses
