I want a Tiffany doll!, January 4, 2006
Yes I am that sad. I've looked up the dolls online, but they look all wrong. I want THE doll from the film. Boo.
Bride Of Chucky more than made up for the slow film-by-numbers that was Childs Play 3. I'm so glad they decided to make another sequel (and then another), instead of just leaving it after Childs Play 3. I think that would have ruined the whole series. So far, this is the best Childs Play movie I've seen - but I haven't seen Seed Of Chucky yet. Chucky was at his best yet, looking suitably evil, complete with black stitching. The film looks up with the introduction of Jennifer Tilly, looking every inch a life size evil Barbie, as an ex of Charles Lee Ray's who brings him back, only for him to kill her, and bring her back as one of her many dolls that she collects. With plenty of cleavage shots for the guys, Jennifer is certainly an asset to this.
And I loved the Tiffany doll! She is so cute. Dyed blonde hair, black leather jacket over a wedding dress, black nail varnish and black chunky boots. And lashings of black eyeliner. Sounds like my kinda gal. There's also a very surreal sex scene between Chucky & Tiffany, including Tiffany asking him if he should be wearing rubber, when he's made of rubber. (Still doesn't work though.)
Katherine Heigl was also terrific, although her boyfriend in the film is rather pointless. She looks remarkably like a darker blonde Julia Stiles in this.
There's a few references to other horror movies in this, including: Jason Voorhees hockey mask from the Friday the 13th films, Freddy Krueger's razor blade glove from the A Nightmare on Elm Street series & Michael Myers mask from the Halloween franchise, clips of Bride of Frankenstein and a couple of references to Scream, and who can forget the Hellraiser scene?
There's a great few one-liners in this, mainly by Chucky, but Tiffany gets a word in edgeways sometimes. Here's, in my opinion, the best:
Tiffany: A woman spends all day over a hot stove slaving away for her man. The least he can do is the dishes.
Chucky: I give them six months, three if she gains weight.
Jesse: How'd you end up like this?
Tiffany: It's a long story.
Chucky: If this were a movie, it would take three or four sequels to do it justice. (ha!)
Spelling Computer: Spell "woman".
Spelling Computer: B-I-T-C-H. That is incorrect. The correct spelling of woman in "W-O-M...
Chucky: Shows how much you know.
Tiffany: I wouldn't marry you if you had the body of G.I. Joe.
Chucky: Hey Raggedy Ann, have you looked in the mirror lately? Now's not the time to get picky.
Chucky: Any man would need a hunk of plastic PROBABLY battery operated to get a reaction out of you in bed.
Tiffany: Take it from me, honey, plastic is no substitute for a nice hunk of wood.
I officially love this film now, and I'll keep my eye out for THE Tiffany doll from the film. It's so cute. Oh, and listen out for a fabulous version of Patsy Cline's "Crazy" by the Kidney Thieves (charming name). I need the soundtrack now.

The best Child's Play movie!, July 17, 2001
Bride of Chucky is actually Child's Play 4. In Child's Play 3, Chucky went inside one of those big scary rides at a carnival and fell into a big fan and got himself hacked into pieces. However, when Chucky was still human, he had himself a girlfriend who's been tracking Chucky ever since he transferred his soul into a Good Guy doll. Using her manipulating skills, Tiffany convinces a corrupt cop to go into the police evidence storage room and get Chucky's remains. Once she has what's left of Chucky, she takes him back to her trailer and, using pieces of other dolls, patches Chucky back together in a scene straight out of Frankenstein and then brings Chucky back to life. Why has Tiffany done this? Simple: She had real feelings for Chucky, and she was hoping that if she brought him back to life, he'd marry her. Unfortunately, Chucky likes being a bachelor, so Tiff locks Chucky up in her trailer. As a joke, Tiff gives Chucky a bride doll. But Chucky gets the last laugh as he kills Tiff and transfers her soul into the bride doll. Now stuck in the body of a doll herself, Tiff has no choice but to help Chucky. Anyway, Chucky has good news and bad news. The good news: Chucky and Tiffany need a medallion called the Heart of Damballa in order to transfer their souls into human bodies, and Chucky had it on him when he was killed as a human. The bad news: Chucky's human body was buried in New Jersey, which is at least one state away from Tiffany's trailer. So in order to get themselves human bodies, Tiff and Chucky have to trick a young man named Jessie and his girlfriend Jade into taking them to New Jersey. I won't give away the ending, but I will say that it is a surprise! This movie has something for everybody: Horror, action, comedy, and even a little romance. I don't like two things about this movie: 1, The movie focuses mainly on Chucky and Tiffany and doesn't really develop the characters of Jade and Jessie. 2, If Chucky needed the Heart of Damballa to transfer his soul into a human body, then the first three movies were kinda pointless. Even if Chucky got to his victim in time and managed to complete the ritual undisturbed, then he wouldn't have succeeded because he didn't have the Heart of Damballa. Anyway, if you like the Child's Play movies, then I highly suggest seeing this movie!

Frighteningly Funny !!!!! Hillariously Horrible !!!!!!!, September 26, 1999
By A Customer
A Maccabre version of 'Natural Born Killers' with a lot more humour. I think this is the funniest of the Chucky movies I've seen. I nearly cracked up laughing when I saw the 'Voodoo for Dummies' book. It's a real dig at the IT world. It's a pity that we were left with only Jennifer Tilly's voice not far into the movie. She's a real hot babe. I was surprised to see an older John Ritter doing his bit. Quite a contrast from the popular 'Three's Company' sitcom (which I still enjoy very much).
The Chucky and Tiffany dolls were really great. The wizardry that goes into 'bringing them to life' never fails to amaze me. I would have liked to see this movie on DVD. The sound was still good on prologic though. There were some great songs featured as well. This is certainly not a scary movie. There's more larfs than scares and if you've seen 'Child's Play' then you can appreciate who the Chucky character is. Just keep the kids away though (luckily I don't have any). They probably won't play with dolls ever again after watching this movie.
