Finally, they've come up with an interesting gimmick for a sequel that still isn't worthy of the original, but much better than the last two. It's been a decade since Chucky, the murderous good-guy doll from Child's Play, first started slicing and dicing. This time around, Chucky gets a mate in the form of Jennifer Tilly, and the two lovers hit the streets in a road movie like no other.
Bride of Chucky really doesn't offer much of a plot. It's just an excuse to see these two dolls, brilliantly constructed by special effects whiz Kevin Yeagher, go to town. Brad Douriff (One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest) once again voices the foul mouthed Chucky with all kinds of fiendish glee. Tilly seems to be having a fun time as well.
Highlights in this outing are a sex scene like nothing you've ever imagined, a death involving a waterbed and possibly the greatest diesel truck vs. human collision ever captured on film. Bride of Chucky isn't scary and doesn't have a great story, but is certainly amusing.
