Chucky (Brad Dourif) and Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly) were both dead after some time but Tiffany gave birth to a baby doll named Glen (Billy Boyd) as he is used as a freakshow for circus acts and keeps having nightmares of being a mass murderer.
Meanwhile, the Chucky and Tiffany dolls are used for an upcoming Hollywood film on the true story of their murders.
Glen runs away and goes to Hollywood where he discovers his parents and resurrects them.
Glen doesn't believe in murder and Tiffany tries to prevent her and Chucky to pursue it now that they're parents but Chucky doesn't seem to take any responsibility as he seems to be addicted to killing while they stay at a sleazy movie stars house who is doing the voice for Tiffany in the film and encountering her sleepovers.

 

Well the film seems to have a good start watching the sperm and making a baby doll born which seemed a bit corny but yet it does seem necessary after watching the last bit of Bride of Chucky.
The narration of the doll Glen is very interesting explaining on not knowing where he came from as well as being in an environment doing a freakshow for roughnecks as well as one who keeps him in a cage trying to train him to be violent but he doesn't want to which looks disturbing by forcing the viciousness out of them like some people do to animals. The seemed to be well written in.
Then there's a moment with a grumpy person in a Santa suit walking in the snow with Chucky and Tiffany killing him which makes you wonder as to how did they end up surviving since they were killed off in the last flick but then it shows a movie set which seemed quite cleverly written.
The writing seems to fall flat big time after that as there's the actress Jennifer behind the scene's griping about her character which does look like a typical primadonna type of act but the stuff involved looked way too tongue in cheek but yet very unfunny too.
The moment where this Glen doll resurrects Chucky and Tiffany was way too corny while this happens as it didn't seem serious at all. But yet there are neat effects since it takes place at a film studio like sparks going off and stuff like that which gives you the impression that they will come back to life.
It's very corny with the Glen doll talking tot hem showing his wrist saying Made in Japan and speaking Japanese to them after they see on their arm the same band name too. There's good opposite personalities with Tiffany acting more polite and Chucky getting crude and sarcastic.
There's even a moment when a real decapitated head is revealed while Jennifer goes in the studio and thinking its a prop kissing it which is pretty gross but even you could tell that the head is fake as the make up artists who made this fake head needed a bit more polishing up to do with it.
Most of the other scene's takes place at Jennifer's home which was terribly bland including a moment with her and a casting director Redman about to make out with one another and ignoring their champagne glasses which Tiffany and Chucky put poisin in. Alto of this looked pointless to watch but yet there's a funny situation with Tiffany scolding Jennifer on what she's doing. Plus there's a moment with Chucky masturbating while looking at gruesome chicks in a Fangoria magazine to get sperm so Jennifer can get preganant as well as all of them turning into people again. This was pretty gross in which was supposed to have a dark comedy element in it but fails to let out any chuckles to anyone who likes good humor in theri horror flicks.
There's Chucky and Glen going on a joy ride trying to drive a car while Chucky himself tries to help Glen be a killer killing a driver off the road and stuff like that with Glen not wanting to do this which seems disturbing wondering if Glen will turn into a killer due to the pressuring moments. Yet these moments were too typical and dull.
There is a bit of decent comedy horror moments when Tiffany and Chucky get into an argument on not killing anymore since they are now parents along with dead bodies falling out of closets and other areas they commited showing their guilt on what they did.
I will show credit for someone entering a room and a disguised doll that's supposed to look like Tiffany using a flamethrower on this person and they fall off a ledge in the house as this seems to be a real classic moment in a slasher flick. The identity of this doll does surprise you a bit as it was well written in but that's nothing to brag about.
But there's a moment with an axe crashing through a door with Chucky's face revealed in which we know what this pays a tribute to with anyone who is a Stephen King fan. Plus there's a great classic battle with Glen against Chucky with an axe or other weapons which seemed interesting to see. Still a bit of a disappointment.
The near ending looked incredibly dumb too and will see what I mean while watching it in which you may think that this will close the door to the Child's Play series since this was the worst one ever but it does leave a door open at the very ending. Thankfully we're saved that another one won't rise since a remake is in the works.
Bottom line is that Don Mancini was running out of ideas in which you can tell while sitting in agony watching this clunker. Basically his forst Child's Play movie was the only great one and the rest were just above average. This one bit the big one though. It's easily forgettable but for any of the fans may want to see it just for once to find out what had happened since the last one left the door open to this one.

The acting is bit off and very slastick style. Some of the performers were okay thought. Let's see here.... Brad Dourif (Voice of Chucky) of course is still marvellous with his evil crude speaking along with getting nasty and sarcastic. He is the man for this role regardless and was never a disappointment for the part even if this latest sequel sucked.
Jennifer Tilly (Herself/Voice of Tilly) seemed to lack a bit in her role as herself portraying an actress for the upcoming Chucky fact based film. She seemed to try too hard acting sleazy as well as being full of herself but there was no gold star for her. Yet this seemed to be the intention since she was meant to be one of those typical poseurs. Does a good job by acting nearly lustful towards the onscreen director and tempting him to consider a part for her which seemed fairly impressive on how she was doing this. Yet when she screams when terror strikes near her and tries to run away this looked weakly done and a bit amateurish. She seemed to show a bit better lung power after finding out that she's fatter as well as a cheesy conversation with her on the phone. She does do well with her performance when she screams intensely while tied to a bed. Does a good job screaming in pain while being in labour which looked quite natural. There's good reactions coming from her getting out of a hospital bed and acting drugged wobbling around trying to get away from her room and falling down. Yet when she does the voice for Tilly she knew on how to act scolding as well as getting aggressive as well as acting warm and soft too. So her versatality was there in general for the doll part but not for portraying herself.
Billy Boyd (Voice of Glen) does his job with a good type of characteristics in his voice in which he does well sounding confused and disturbed by the killings and violence around him as well as later on getting crazy showing a nice versatality with his speaking. But yet he sounds like an adult trying to sound like a kid. There's more nice voice over work on him screaming hysterically.
Hannah Spearritt (Joan) shows a good calm and strong willed behavior for her part as she also delivers her lines quite well too. She brings a good amount of characteristics in her role which she shows it off greatly. All in all she stood out nicely for what she had to do in it.
Redman (Himself) seemed to portray a good sleazy director in which he does a good job acting temtping with what he does as well as getting blunt about stuff later on. He seemed to be quite believeable for what he did in the flick. He comes around as a person you don't really trust and who will screw you over along with being a total briber.

The gore is better than the plot and we got lots of it.
There's gruesome stabbings
A beheading
Face melting
Burned face
Someone gutted open
Some interesting gruesome doll effects.

There's alot of high pitched violin music which works incredibly well for alot of the dark scene's used in the film. There's great fantasy type chiming and chanting sounds which sounds nice and clear like you'd hear in a fairy tale of some sort. Plus there's some high pitched synthesizer playing along with low violin type music too in a certain scene while this character Joan is gagged and tied up on a bed at night which almost reminds me of some similar sounds used in Psycho.

Jennifer Tilly: You know, I should have played "Erin Brockovich"; I could have done without the wonderbra.

Tiffany: What the hell is goin' on in here?
Chucky: She came on to me!
Tiffany: No wonder her career's in trouble.

Pete Peters: [in glee over the mayhem he sees the dolls causing while he spies on Jennifer] Oh, God bless the little people!

Glen: I don't know much about myself. I know I'm an orphan. I know I'm a freak. And, of course, I know that I'm Japanese.

Glen: I don't know much about myself. I know I'm an orphan... I know I'm a freak and of course I know that I'm Japanese.

[talking to Glen]
Tiffany: Where are your mother and father?
Chucky: [whispering] Judging by that face, my guess is they're hiding.
Tiffany: Shut up, you asshole.

Tiffany: We have a problem with killing.
Chucky: I don't have a problem with killing.

Claudia: You killed my mommy and daddy... and now you're pissing your pants.

Chucky: This is nuts! And I have a VERY high tolerance for nuts.

Chucky: I am Chucky, the killer doll! And I dig it!

Tiffany: I'm not getting pregnant again, I'll tell you that much. My mother always said, "Once is a blessing, twice is a curse."
Chucky: Well, that would explain your sister.

Puppeteer: This little shitface isn't even anatomically correct!
Glen: It's a condition!
Puppeteer: I found shitface here in a graveyard in America, where he nearly ripped my throat apart!
Glen: I was trying to give him a hug!

Chucky: He looks like the kid fell off the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

Chucky: If this is what it takes to be human, then I'd rather take my challanges as a supernaturally-posessed doll! It's much less complicated! Think about it! What's so great about being human? You get sick! You get old! As a doll, I'm infamous! I am Chucky! The killer doll!

Chucky: Come to papa!

Pete Peters: [watching Chucky masturbate through his camera] That's right, work it, Mini-me.

Tiffany: Hi, my name is Tiffany Ray. Um, you don't know me but, a few years ago I killed your husband, and I am SO sorry.

Glen: Why do you kill?
Chucky: Umm... hobby, I guess.

Jennifer Tilly: I'm an Oscar-nominee, for god's sake. Now look at me, I'm fucking a doll.

Glen: [thinks he's Japanese because of his "Made in Japan" lable] Konnichiwa, okaasan. Otousan.

Interviewer: [wrapping up a news segment on the new film "Chucky Goes Psycho"] Thanks for the interview, Chucky.
Chucky: Fuck you very much.

Tiffany: She's so wonderful!
Chucky: ...You mean HE's so wonderful.
[they both look at Glen]
Glen: Don't look at ME.
[they take off his pants, but there's nothing there]
Tiffany: ...Um, see? She's a beautiful girl.
Chucky: W-what are you talking about? That's, uh... my boy.

Glen: Everything's always about what YOU two want! What about what I want?
Chucky: Um... that's new.
Tiffany: Ok, sweety? What do YOU want to be?
Glen: Well... I think... I want to be a boy.
Chucky: [to Tiffany] Ha! In your face!
Glen: But... being a girl would be nice too. Sometime I feel like a boy... and sometimes I feel like a girl... Hey! Can't I be both?

Tiffany: Killing is an addiction like any other drug. But we're parents now. We have to set an example.

Chucky: It looks like the kid fell off the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

Chucky: [after Tiffany suggest transferring his soul into Redman] I'm down with that.

Tiffany: I figured it out, I'll possess Jennifer Tilly and you'll possess Redman
Chucky: [drinking liquor] I'm down with that.

Chucky: [breaks down a door Shining style and pokes his head in] You know, I can't think of a thing to say. Fuck it!
[continues to break the door down]

Chucky: [after killing Britney Spears] "Oops, I did it again!"

Jennifer Tilly: Hell would be ending up on an episode of Celebrity Fear Factor in a worm eating contest with Anna Nicole Smith!
Joan: In which you would win...

[knocks Redman out]
Tiffany: Pig.
[turns to Jennifer Tilly]
Tiffany: And you. You should be ashamed of yourself. Where's your self-respect? You know what my mother used to say about dirty girls? She said, "You can always smell it on girls who sell it."
[holds up a pen and a sheet of paper]
Tiffany: Oh, by the way, Miss Tilly, can I have your autograph? I'm a big fan.

[after running off a Britney look alike off the road]
Chucky: Oops! I did it again.
[laughs maniacally]

Chucky: We're not from Japan! We're from Jersey!

Tiffany: What's your name?
Glen: Shitface.
Chucky: [snort]

Joan: You're prostituting yourself to play the Virgin Mary!

Tiffany: They're executing Martha Stewart this morning.
Chucky: I don't think I can take 9 months of this shit.
Tiffany: Silly Chucky. It's a voodoo pregnancy? It's accelerated.
Chucky: How "accelerated"?
[a very pregnant Jennifer Tilly walks into bathroom mirror; screams]
Chucky: Oh.

Tiffany: I want a girl!
Chucky: I want a boy!
Glen: You're tearing me apart! What about what I want?
Chucky: ...what?
Tiffany: What?
Glen: Doesn't what I want mean anything at all?
Tiffany: Oh.
Chucky: OK. Interesting. Tell us.
Tiffany: What do you want, sweetface?
Glen: I think... I want to be a boy.
Chucky: YESSS! IN YOUR FACE, LADY!
Glen: But... being a girl would be nice, too.
Tiffany: Hmph.
Chucky: Whoa... which is it?
Glen: I'm not sure. Sometimes I feel like a boy. Sometimes I feel like a girl. Gasp! Can I be both?
Tiffany: Well, some people...
Chucky: EH-EH! NO WAY!

Chucky: Wait a minute! I'm not gonna let you poison our son's mind with your touchy-feely 12 steps bullshit. If you two don't wanna kill anymore, that's your loss. But don't look down your noses at me. I'm not ashamed to be a killer; I'm proud of it! It's not an addiction; it is a choice! And it's not something that you should have to hide in the closet!
[opens the closet door and finds Redman's eviscerated body inside]
Chucky: Well, well, well... looks like Miss. High And Mighty ain't so perfect afterall!
[sobbing]
Tiffany: It was a slip! Rome wasn't built in one day, you know?
[stops sobbing]
Tiffany: Besides, the fucker had it coming.

Chucky: Christ! Enough about your mother! I killed that bitch 20 years ago and she still won't shut up!

Chucky: Everybody, JUST SHUT UP! I have had it! That's it! There's a limit to how much I can take!
Tiffany: What are you talking about?
Chucky: Look around you, Tiff! This is nuts! And I have a very high tolerence for nuts. If this is what it takes to be human, I'd rather take my chances as a supernaturally possessed doll; it's less complicated.
Chucky: You can't be serious.
Chucky: As a heart attack! Think about it, what's so great about being human anyway? You get sick, you get old, you can't get it up anymore. I'm not looking forward to that!
Tiffany: Hun, I want to be Jennifer Tilly. I want to be a star.
Chucky: And I don't wanna be your chauffeur! As a doll, I'm fucking infamous! I'm one of the most notorious slashers in history! And I don't wanna give that up. I am Chucky, the killer doll! And I dig it!
Tiffany: [Tiffany and Glen look shocked]
Chucky: I have everything I want! A beautiful wife! A... multi-talented kid. This is who I am, Tiff! This is me!
Tiffany: Chucky... I don't know what the fuck you're talking about? I don't know who you are anymore? But... it's not enough for me. I want more.
Chucky: What are you saying?
Tiffany: It's over.
Chucky: [Chucky looks horrified; Tiffany turns to Glen]
Tiffany: We gotta get out of here, sweetface.
Tiffany: [Tiffany looks back at Chucky]
Tiffany: I'm leaving you, Chucky, and I'm taking the kid.
Chucky: [Chucky looks extremely pissed off]
Chucky: NOBODY leaves ME... NOBODY!

Chucky: Attaboy, kid... attaboy!

[Tiffany/Jennifer takes the "Tiffany" doll down from the shelf ]
Fulvia: I'm afraid of her.
Tiffany: It's just a doll.
Fulvia: I was talking about Glenda.
Tiffany: Oh. Well, if that's the way you feel, then we'll miss you here.
Fulvia: Thank you.
[Tiffany/Jennifer bashes Fulvia with the doll ]

Jennifer Tilly: [to Redman] Now, Mr Man... oh, is it okay if I call you red?
[Redman looks confused]

Chucky: [dragging Redman's body] Look how big his feet are. You know what they say...

Glen: But, isn't violence bad?
Chucky: No, son. "Violins." Violins are bad. That screeching music is gonna ruin the goddamn country.

Chucky: [gets whacked with ax in chest by Glen] Glenda?
Glen: No, Dad. It's me. Your *boy*! Your chip off the old block!
Glen: [chops off Chucky's left arm]
Glen: You proud of me *now*, Daddy?
Glen: [chops off other arm]
Glen: [shouts] Are you?
