Bride of Chucky (1998)

"Martha Stewart can kiss my shiny plastic butt!", 8 November 2005

Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly) was at one time in love with a serial killer whose soul now possess the killer doll known as Chucky. She pays a young man to retrieve the doll from a police evidence locker and brings Chucky back to life. She soon ticks off Chucky and he kills her. By a strange coincidence her soul becomes trapped inside another doll. The pair set off cross-country to retrieve an amulet buried with the serial killer that will allow them to regain their human form.

Maybe I'm not part of the target audience, but there's not much in this movie that works for me. Some of the humor is mildly amusing, but for the most part, it's ridiculous. And the whole notion that these two small dolls are able to take down and kill anything larger than a puppy or engage in sex and procreate is really stretching it. In short, I've never understood the appeal of Chucky and Bride of Chucky does nothing to change that.

The "highlight" (for the lack of a better word) of the movie has to be Jennifer Tilly. I've always enjoyed seeing her in other movies. She has a style and look about her that I find unique. And Bride of Chucky gives her a chance to show off her…well…acting abilities.
