Movie Review by Joe

Easy on the kills, heavy on the laughter. Director Ronny Yu departs from the first three Child's Play movies and centers more on the romantic and even comical side of Chucky.
It's been about ten years since Chucky's (voiced by Brad Dourif) last reign of terror, and the doll mysteriously disappears from the police station. It turns out that before his soul got trapped inside the plastic boy, he was a serial killer who had a girlfriend, Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly). Tiffany has been searching for Chucky and she finally found him, and uses voodoo (or, as the book read, "Voodoo for Dummies") to bring Chucky back to life again.
They face some important couples differences, and Chucky decides to kill Tiffany and transfer her soul to another doll, since she wouldn't help him get a human body. So the two dolls decide to go to New Jersey, because there's an amulet that is buried with Chucky's human body that can transport their souls to human hosts.
They enlist the help of couple Jade (Katherine Heigl) and Jesse (Nick Stabile)...who are on the run themselves from Jade's overprotective police chief uncle Warren Kincaid (John Ritter). The couple, of course, has no clue who the two dolls are, and as they travel to New Jersey a series of murders tend to follow them, leading the police to believe that they're the killers, and causes them to turn on one another.
Meanwhile, Chucky and Tiffany's relationship blossoms, and they re-connect with each other, despite both being murderous fiends with plastic dolls for bodies.
All in all, didn't seem like a classic Chucky movie, but more like a romantic comedy. Sure, there were murders and such, but nothing extremely scary. The only screams I made were screams of laughter at the cheesy one-liners and views on relationships. A good movie to see if you're in the mood for a very dark comedy.
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.
