Movie Reviews of Bride of Chucky
Movie Review: "We belong together -- we belong dead"
Summary: 5 Stars
As a child who was terrified of Chucky throughout the late 80's/early 90's and who grew to love him and the 'Child's Play' movies, I was pumped when I first went to see this in theaters almost five years ago. It was everything a movie of it's nature should be: Entertaining, shocking, gorey, and of course, funny. The special effects were excellent and Jennifer Tilly and Brad Dourif played perfectly off each other as the doll version of Bonnie & Clyde. Today, all of that still holds up. No matter how many times I watch it, I am still enthusiastic about it and it is never dull. 'Bride of Chucky' begins with Chucky's remains (basically a trash-bag full of chopped up Chucky parts, calling back to part 3) being stolen from a police evidence locker. Chucky's old flame (when he was flesh & blood, mind you) Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly) resurrects him and a series of events leads to her soul becoming trapped in a doll as well. The duo hitch a ride to New Jersey, to dig up Chucky's body which contains a special jewel that will allow them to transfer their souls into any other human (yeah, it's a stretch). They are led by unsuspecting newlywed couple Jade & Jesse (played by Katherine Heigl & Nick Stabile). As the body counts rises and the couple unknowingly leaves a trail of blood behind them, they are framed for the crimes and suddenly find themselves outlaws on the run. John Ritter has a minor role as Jade's verbally abusive uncle, whose body takes much abuse throughout the course of the movie (just a small bit of the black humor). 'Bride of Chucky' of course isn't meant to be taken seriously. It is fully aware of itself ("It's a long story - in fact, if it were a movie it would take 3 or 4 sequels just to do it justice") and the deaths are horribly hilarious at times. If you liked Chucky's little one-liners that were sprinkled throughout the previous movies, you'll definitely get your kicks out of this movie. For the first time, Chucky is the center of the movie. The Andy saga has been pushed aside, and although I would like to see the character return in a future sequel, it's nice they took a break and focused more on our anti-hero. The movie is masterfully directed by Hong-Kong filmmaker Ronny Yu (Formula 51, Freddy Vs. Jason). He brings a unique style and flavor to not only the movie, but the entire series. His is, hands down, the best looking installment so far. Backed up by a meaty heavy-metal soundtrack (White Zombie, Slayer among others) this is one movie that Chucky fans and horror fans alike can all enjoy. Universal is pretty generous when it comes to extra material on DVD's and this is no exception. The DVD contains two commentaries: The first done by director Ronny Yu, and the second done by Chucky creator & writer of all 4 movies, Don Mancini and stars Brad Dourif and Jennifer Tilly. There is quite a bit of unexposed information in these commentaries, they are definitely worth listening to. We also get a "Spotlight: On Location" featurette which is basically a montage of interviews. Standard production notes & theatrical trailer are included, along with "Jennifer Tilly's Diary," which basically tells her story of how she came to be involved with the movie and how it was made and "the History of Chucky" which recalls Chucky's previous activities up until now.
Summary of Bride of Chucky
AFTER CHUCKY'S OLD FLAME RESUCES HIS BATTERED BODY FROM A POLICEIMPOUND HE TURNS HER INTO HIS NEWEST PLAYMATE AND PARTNER INCRIME. TOGETHER THE DEMONIC DUO EMBARK ON A HOMICIDAL HONEYMOON IN SEARCH OF TWO PERFECT SOULD TO STEAL. CHUCKY'S BACK. SPECIAL FEATURES: TALENT BIOS, WEB LINKS, DVD ROM APPLICATION AND MORE.Brace yourself: this is a clever, consistently entertaining, and even inspired continuation of the mean-spirited slasher series. For those not in the know, Chucky is a mop-top kid's doll come to life with the soul of a serial killer and the voice of Brad Dourif (doing his best Jack Nicholson). Revived by his former paramour Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly, looking every inch a life-size Barbie in stiletto heels and skintight black leather), Chucky proceeds to turn his human sweetie into a pint-sized Talking Tina doll with attitude, and together they hit the road for a magic amulet and young new bodies to inhabit. They hitch a ride with sweet young runaways Katherine Heigl and Nick Stabile and leave a trail of corpses bloodied, burned, and cut to ribbons. The kids are cute, but the real heat is generated by the latex lovers who use murder as foreplay and consummate their renewed romance in a night of passionate sex ("Shouldn't you wear a rubber?" "I'm all rubber!"). Hong Kong director Ronny Yu (The Bride with White Hair) directs with a light touch and against all odds transforms walking dolls Chucky and Tiffany into funny, energetic, full-blooded characters: l'amour fou has never been more crazy. John Ritter costars as Heigl's overprotective uncle (another obstacle on the road to dolly freedom) and Alexis Arquette is hilarious as a lanky goth nerd. The wild conclusion leaves room for another high-concept sequel. The DVD features two commentary tracks, a behind-the-scenes documentary, and "Jennifer Tilly's Diary." --Sean Axmaker
