Does Bride of Chucky hold up?

Let’s find out:

 So we start off with Tiffany Valentine (voiced and played by Jennifer Tilly) bringing Chucky (voiced by Brad Dourif) back to life.

Chucky kills Damien (Alexis Arquette). Tiffany wants to marry Chucky; but, Chucky has Peter Pan Syndrome; so, he murders Tiffany and transfers her soul to a doll.

Tiffany and Chucky decide to put their souls into Jade (Katherine Heigl) and Jesse (Nick Stabile), and…

Jade and Jesse may be teen movie magazine worthy; but, Heigl and Stabile have decent chemistry. Plus, if you have ever watched a Hallmark Channel movie with your dad, there is enough of Chucky making that kind of commentary to make their romance tolerable.

Anyway, Jade’s uncle/police chief Warren Kincaid (John Ritter) disapproves of the Jade-Jesse romance. Warren tries to frame Jesse for marijuana. Chucky and Tiffany kill Warren. Officer Norton finds the marijuana; but, Chucky kills Officer Norton.

Jade thinks that Jesse killed Officer Norton, Jesse thinks that Jade killed Officer Norton, and…

This feels like a dark parody of the you’re still hung up on your ex/your ex ambush- kissed you/your job offer takes you away from me/you lied to me about x/y/z rom-com misunderstanding in rom-coms.

However, Jesse and Jade still get married. A couple (James Gallanders and Janet Kidder) make off with Jesse’s wallet. The couple start to have err… ice cream… and, as you know, sex in horror movies = death; so, Tiffany kills the couple. Chucky and Tiffany then have err… ice cream, and…

Chucky and Tiffany?

How… how would that even work?

Hey, do you know how there is always that one best friend in rom-coms who fixes things/makes things worse? David (Gordon Michael Woolvett) is the dark parody of that. David initially believes that Jesse and Jade are not responsible for the murders; however, he discovers Warren’s corpse and he (David) gets run over by a semi-truck.

Jade does her best Black Widow impression, Tiffany winds up in an oven, Chucky is literally and figuratively thrown out a window and Jesse crashes the RV that he is driving. Chucky takes Jade for a hostage, Jesse takes Tiffany for a hostage, there is a hostage exchange and Chucky stabs Jesse. Tiffany betrays Chucky, Chucky stabs Tiffany and Jade kills Chucky.

Lt. Preston (Lawrence Dane) finds Tiffany, we get a Son/Daughter of Chucky set-up that never happened because the baby turned out to be Glen and the movie ends.

Bride of Chucky is a fun horror comedy. Think of it as George of the Jungle as a horror comedy.
