Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

I had fond memories of this. Or at least I thought I had. Seems I only saw the first twenty minutes or even maybe only the trailer. Jennifer Tilly is great but she is only in this at the start and later is just the voice of the doll. Indeed for most of this film we get rather stiff performances from the humans and animated ones from a pair of dolls. Predictable, unfunny and loud, this would be just the thing for under fifteens but in UK has a 15 certificate so thats a bummer. I have seen rave reviews for this but then maybe those folk only saw the trailer. This is no thriller, nor a horror, simply a rather poor comedy. There is blood and violence but do dolls count?

A month after the events of Child's Play 3 after Chucky (voiced by Brad Douriff) was sliced in the fan at the amusement park at the end, it seems Chucky's old flame Tiffany (played by Jennifer Tilly) who finds his remains in a police station evidence room and takes his body back to her place to stitch him up back together. Now Chucky decides after being treated like dirt by her, he transfers her soul into a bridal doll's body as now both must try to be human again, Chucky's original human corpse is buried with an amulet that is called "the heart of Dambella" which they can be human again if they get some humans. Tiffany gets an idea to call her strong model- like male neighbor named Jesse (Nick Stabile) to go to Hackensack New Jersey to deliver dolls to a cemetery in exchange for 500 dollars. Jesse accepts the offer as he decides to take his girlfriend Jade (Katherine Heigl) to go with him to run away from her strict/bossy police officer of an uncle Chief Warren (John Ritter) and are on the road for Chucky is on the loose killing anyone that gets in his way with the help of Tiffany.A mediocre sequel from writer Don Mancini and Hong Kong director Ronny Yu and is the 4th installment of the popular Child's Play franchise. I saw this in theaters as a teen and thought it was OK, yet this was made after the success of Scream and Mancini who thought he ran out of ideas after part 3 thought that Scream was successful and would love to copy the formula that movie had. Ronny Yu who directed the Hong Kong fantasy cult film "The Bride with White Hair" was hired to direct this movie and later on went to make "Freddy vs Jason" in 2003, the film was an attempt to be scary and funny at the same time but falls flat. Jennifer Tilly sure is hot in the first half and did a great job voicing her doll counterpart yet there were some in-jokes like the Creepshow crate with the Freddy glove, a cheap looking Jason mask, a chainsaw that could be Leatherface's and Michael's mask in the evidence room. Then there's that dumb kill where John Ritter whom is one of my favorite actors by the way gets killed by nails that were latched on a powerful glove compartment that no way would actually work with the nails just flying and nailing through his face. Then Chucky cracks a one- liner saying "Why does that face look so familiar" which is suppose to be a funny reference to Hellraiser but isn't as some of the jokes fall flat.I did liked the one-liner where he murders done on Damien (Alexis Arquette) whom is basically a take on goths and Marylin Manson as Chucky says "It ain't the size that counts a hole it's what you do with it". Some of the kills are quite lame with some okay make-up and puppetry effects by Kevin Yagher but the script is mediocre as hell. Lawrence Dane the Canadian actor whom you remember from Scanners and Happy Birthday to Me plays Lt Danson yet some of the characters aren't likable like in Child's Play 2 but the main leads are strangely likable which is the dolls. The doll sex scene was quite far fetched when it was meant to be funny but totally not funny and Chucky's death was poor compared to the first 3 deaths of him but he did said a great line "Go ahead and shoot, i'll be back! i always come back but dying is such a bitch".Then we have the ending which made me go "Oh no, son of chucky!" which is sequel bait ending that leads to "Seed of Chucky" years later.

*SPOILERS* I don't like this movie Bride of Chucky is really bad awful movie I laughed my ass off. This movie wasn't scary, the acting from Jennifer Tilly specially her voice was terrible and this movie lost my respect for Chucky after that I quit with this series just because of this movie. Do I think this is the worst Chucky movie? Hell no, Seed of Chucky is the worst one. This is a terrible movie in my opinion I don't care about romance.There are not likable characters Katherine Heigl was the worst at acting and she wasn't likable hero. There are not likable characters. I don't like John Ritter's character how he treated his niece Jade and her boyfriend I didn't like the cops in this movie. I hated that cop treating those kids like s*** I am glad he blow up.There is not much to say from me, I don't like this movie Katherine Heigl you sucked in Under Siege 2: Dark Territory and you sucked in Gray's Anatomy so please retire already!!! I did not care about any of the characters or the deaths. Puppeteer design for Chucky was terrible it just wasn't a Chucky from the first three films. To me it comes more a dark comedy than a horror movie. I wanted this to be scary and it wasn't it failed at been a good horror movie in my opinion. I didn't care about Nick Stabile and Katherine Heigl for blaming each other for the murders. They are unlikable heroes and I hate them ugh.And this movie is better than Child's Play 3? Are you f***** kidding me?! This movie is far worst I am taking Child's Play 2 anytime over this stupid movie! I would rather watch Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives than this stupid movie! I would take A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master any time than this movie! I am taking every Friday the 13th and every A Nightmare on Elm Street movie over peace a crap.Director Ronny Yu I don't think or agree he did a bad job directing he didn't and it wasn't his fault that this movie was a failure it was Don Mancini's fault!. I enjoyed to death Freddy Vs. Jason that movie was MILES better than this I will rather watch that movie.The only think I did like was the end that was set on the graveyard I thought it was a great atmosphere I am glad director decide to make it dark. I liked the ending that Chucky and Tiffany fought and Chucky murdered Tiffany but Nick Stabile and Katherine Heigl throw Chucky in his grave and Katherine shoots his ass. Then on the end when Tiffany makes a birth and the child attacks the detective that was scary that is why I give 2 this movie just for that scary scene.The rest of the cast sucks a dick Jennifer Tilly and Brad Dourif where awful in this movie I hate the sex scene between those two stupid dolls!!! I hate this movie I don't want to watch ever again it I don't want to have it in my collection. I hate this film! Child's Play 3 is superior in every way. Nothing of any importance happens in Bride. The second Chucky killed Tiffany with the tub death, and didn't track down Andy immediately after...I lost interest. It's out of character to seek out some amulet that never existed until now "because". Just a bunch of schlock.Another thing this movie has plot holes and the script makes no sense and is s****! This is a peace of s*** movie. There is no way that Jennifer Tilly could have sewn Chucky back together when he got shredded to literally a million pieces in Child's Play 3. But really, the main problem I have is the amulet thing. He wasn't wearing it at the beginning of Child's Play , and he questioned John (his teacher) about how he can get out of the good guy doll body. Why would he have to ask him? Chucky would've known about the amulet by that point if he really was wearing it at the very beginning of the movie. And he would have needed it if he was going to transfer his soul into Andy.-E 2/10 this movie can f*** him self!

This movie was good,not much of suspense or story,but it is a good time.First,the good,the tone,I liked the Gothic feel of it,as that was something new for the series.The soundtrack,it is fun and fits the tone perfectly,just like the cinematography.The horror and media references,they don't feel forced and make it feel like Chucky is learning to change with the times.The kills,they are over the top and gory,and really fun.The best part though,Chucky and his bride Tiffany,they have fantastic chemistry and work great together.Now,the cons,there is one really big plot hole that is confusing.Some of the humour is way too obvious and doesn't work("If they made a movie about it,it'd take 3-4 sequels").The human characters,due to the focus on Chucky and Tiffany,the humans get barely any development,and end up feeling like cardboard cutouts of people.I also thought that the ending was a bit weak.Bride of Chucky is a fun refreshing sequel,but with boring human characters.
