Quotes:

[first lines]
Claudia:[after opening up her present, observes it] That's the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my whole life!
Claudia's Dad:It certainly is. Who sent it?
Claudia's Mum:Ooh, well, that's strange. It doesn't say. Where could it have come from?
Claudia:I don't like it! It's staring at me!
Claudia's Dad:Well, it's probably one of Uncle Arthur's little jokes.
Claudia's Mum:Well, I don't think it's funny at all.
[Claudia throws her present into her toy box]

Soundtrack:

Get Your Hands Up

a light piece of fluff with some gore

Chucky's son, picked up at the graveyard where he was born in the last film by a British bloke, now work as a 'dummy' to his ventriloquist. He's having recurring dreams of murdering, and wondering who his real parents are. After seeing Chucky and Tiffany on Access Hollywood, he runs away from his home to America. Once there he reads from the magical necklace and resurrects the two dolls. When finds out his parents are murderers he pees himself (a recurring gag) See he's pretty much a pussy who doesn't know if he's a boy or girl. So Chucky calls him Glen and Tiff calls him Glenda. (laughing yet) While the first three Chucky films were played straight, and "Bride of Chucky" seemed to be a horror comedy. This one is Comedy, with some horror. I found myself amused to a point. Din't really care for the son character. But that's just my opinion. Definitely better than Child's Play 3, but I liked it less then the original, part 2, and "Bride of Chucky"

My Grade: C

Eye Candy: Stephanie Chambers gets topless; we also see Tiffany's doll parts
